The Power of Confession

2008-10-02T02:34:00.002+08:00

Remember the post I put up at the start of the month about the Samsung F480 pink phone i wanted??? Guess what?! I got it last Saturday!!! Praise the Lord! =)

Everyone in my cell group, my class and my family would know how badly I wanted that phone! Haha. Why? Because I carried a brochure of the phone with me WHERE EVER I went. And every time I was with my cell group, I would take the brochure out and say, "You see this phone on the brochure? I want it, and it's gonna be mine." I was repeating it so many times I think the people around me were like, "Ok, ok. We get you. Stop repeating it." Haha.

And guess what?? The POWER OF CONFESSION! =)

This was how it went about: I gave up looking for the pink version of the phone because I went from store to store looking for the phone but with no avail. So I gave up and, because I needed a new phone so bad, I decided to get the black one. My boyfriend decided to bless me with the phone! So, we went to the M1 store and was ready to buy the F480 Black version. When it was our turn to be served, the lady asked me, "So which colour would you like?" And I excitedly replied, "WHAT COLOURS DO YOU HAVE????" AND Woooooowwwwwwwwwww...... She said, "Let me check, I think we have the latest colour, PINK. It's a very sweet colour..." Before she could finish, I was like, "PINK??? DID YOU SAY PINK???????? YEAH! YEAH! I WANT THE PINK ONE!!!!!" I was literally jumping on my seat! Haha. So Praise the Lord! And thank you Meng for blessing me with such a wonderful phone=)

I love you=)

I'm sorry about everything that happened this week. God, please help me get rid of my "blurness". Some girls think it's cute to act blur. But I really don't. I don't even have to act blur. Because I really am blur. In addition, I have serious Short Term Memory. Ask everyone who's close to me. They'll know. I really don't want all these because it's been giving me a lot of problems. Relationship problems, and also in the way I work. It really won't benefit me in my ministry, my work in the future, and everything that I do. So please... Help me!

Thanks baby, for being so patient with me and being able to forgive me so easily=)

One last thing!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BESTIE BERNIE!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry I couldn't surprise you=( I LOVE YOU!!! Hope you'll get well soon=)

She makes me happy=)

2008-09-10T23:47:00.001+08:00

Went out with Bernie yesterday. I've been at my lowest point this week. But yet she seems to be the only one who knows how to make me feel better. She's the only friend I have who knows me like she does=) I LOVE YOU BERNIE! I know that no matter what, I'll have her to fall back on. I already miss the chats we had. And you made me miss our 3/3 and 4/3 times so much. I really wanna go back to our secondary school life. But oh well... =(

Here's some pics! :

This is how she'll look like when she comes haunt

me for showing her unglam pictures:

She knows she's ugly. If you ever see her, don't remind her=)

The twin aliens:

Mad woman.

Yeah. We're born like that.

HAHA! Look at that retarded man behind LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA!

Wondering why I keep making that 'O' looking lips??

Cos that stupid idiot said my lips in this photo below looks very round.

And she wanted me to do it again!!!

Retard.

Samsung F-480

2008-09-02T23:00:00.000+08:00

The only thing that have been on my mind SINCE LAST MONDAY is this pink Samsung f-480. Oh man... Seriously. I've been from store to store looking for the pink version. But, to my disappointment I haven't found it =( And I really mean store to store! I've been to at least five M1 stores, two Singtel stores, one Starhub store and even to Best Denki. But well, I just can't find it because it's the most recently released colour! I'm an M1 user and I want to get an M1 plan with this phone so that I can get it at half the original price. However, M1 only has black and brown. Then Singtel has Gold, and Starhub has Gold and, I think, Black. ARGH! I'm sooo annoyed! I'll just wait a lil' longer=)

Latest buys:

I went shopping on my own (at Parkway) last Sunday and I bought myself 2 new belts!!! =)) I'm so proud of myself for finally buying the waist belts I've always been looking for! There was a 20% sale. So I bought them at 2 for $20! WHEEEEE!!!

*Oh anyways, I feel like changing my blogskin. Nothing really caught my eye though. And I'm busy with school work. So I'm just gonna wait till my holidays next month=)

To my B.I.T.C.H

2008-08-22T16:00:00.000+08:00

My latest wish: HAVE NICE LONG HAIR!!!!

Argh! Bernie! I realised that without you I can't seem to have nice hair! HAHAHA!

Sounds funny, but it's true!!!

Remember how you used to follow me to the hair dresser to cut my hair??

And every time I'd ask for your opinion and your help to ask the hair dresser to cut the kind of hairstyle I want, because I wouldn't dare to tell the hair dresser??

BUT NOW, you're not there to do that for me anymore!!! =(

Now every time I cut my hair, it always end up like crap=(

And I don't know how to tell the hair dresser the kind of fringe I want.

ONLY YOU KNOW HOW TO!!

BERNIE!!!! HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!

HAHAHA. This post is so full of crap (just like you).

LOVES! =)

*p.s. my hols are coming... go out soon aight? =)

**our friendship is greatly treasured=) I'll never find a friend that knows me like you do!

New Beginning

2008-07-17T10:58:00.004+08:00

It's been 5 months since I last posted!!! But well, I'm back again! So many things happened in these 5 months. New school, new friends, new environment.

What sparked off this "I think I should start blogging again" thing is because of a wonderful group of friends. For 7 years our friendship has lasted. And forever it will last. We call ourselves "theEIGHT". HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh man. This is so funny. But yes. What do you expect. We "founded" this group in PRIMARY 5!!!Not many people still hang out with their primary school besties. And this is just one of the reasons why I treasure our friendships so much! When we tell others that today we're gonna meet up with our best friends from primary school, this is how most of them would react: "OMG! You still hang out with your primary school friends??" DUH!!! A quote from Tara, "You mean you change your friends every time you change to a different school?????" Well, I'm glad we didn't. =) So, our group consists of Me, Theresa, Clarissa, Vicki, Elaine, Dionis, Taralyn and Kimberly. Why the colours? Cos we all came in PAIRS!! Hahaha. Right now, Elaine has migrated to Malaysia, Dionis has found her own group of friends, and just this morning, at 4am, Vicki has flown to Canada and will not be back. But this is our promise to you Vicks! :

If you can't read it, it says, "We'll see you in Canada as promised." =)

More updates:

Well school started in April. It's now my 3rd month and already, the workload is WOAH! Haha. But I definitely am enjoying the Poly system compared to the secondary school system. It's like having art classes everyday. Cool? Not cool. But I definitely prefer it to studying Bio, or CHEMISTRY OR CHINESE!!! What the heck. HAHAHA. I'm so glad there's no such thing as Science or Chinese for me ANYMORE. WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

My one year anniversary with Meng has passed. It's so fast huh? Time really flies. In half a year, I'm gonna be 18! OMG. SO OLD=( Then soon we'll be visiting Vicki in Canada in our 20s hopefully. Wow. That's even older. And VICKS!! Don't forget to invite us to your wedding OK?

!!! Anyway, back to Meng. Wow. One year! You're my first and you'll be my last=) We quarrel a lot. I know. And over stupid things. But nonetheless, I know our love for each other is strong enough to overcome our stupid little squabbles. It's just another spat in an otherwise loving relationship=) Now he's in army. And we hardly even talk. But the short little calls you squeeze in for me during your short little breaks to tell me how much you love me just covers it all up=) I love you. And I always will=) Hang in there. Soon enough, your 2 years in army will be over.

K now, back to theEIGHT. Me, Tree and Vicks had the laugh of our lives last night just before she left. And well, sadly, the rest of them weren't here to laugh=( BUT nvm! We'll update you guys... k wait *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA* ok I'm ready.. uhm.. after looking at the recent photos taken at NYNY, I decided to dig out our PRIMARY SCHOOL PHOTOS! And HAHAHAHAHA OMG. Our pictures were so funny, I just had to scan them in and show them to Tree and Vicks. Vicki's curly hair and round specs!! HAHAHA. Our HIGH belts!! HAHAHAHA. Our PREFECT TIES!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG. It was just damn bloody funny. Wish all of you were there to laugh too. HEH.

Oh no. One horrendous thing I have to talk about now. Ever since I started school in Temasek Poly, I gained 3 KG!!! Why? Because we eat when we have nothing to do. And we ALSO EAT when we have a lot of things to do!!! =( As a result, I'm on a lose weight healthily spree now. Starting from yesterday, I took nutritional shakes to replace 1 meal a day (since I don't wake up early enough for breakfast anyway). And I just came back from rollerblading! And while cooling down, I decided to blog. So yes. I'm determined to lose the fats on my tummy and get back the muscles on my legs. Just wait and see =)))

Aight! that's more than enough blogging for a day now. Photos up next!:

Our Primary 6 game!

Heartbreaking 17.

2008-02-14T15:40:00.000+08:00

I know most would say, "Oh dear, I'm one year older now.." But I say.. "YIPPIE!! I'm one year older now! =) *My own reasons* Haha. Thanks baby for that day out with your family=) Honestly, I enjoyed it. It may have been a last minute decision, but it's alright. Ignore what I wrote in my diary ok? =) Anyway, we went to Pulau Hantu (if that's how you spell it), supposedly to knee board and get a tan. However, we just went to get a tan. Ok fine not we. Haha. It's just me and Meng=) My tan was horrible because I didn't take my clothes off. Haha. So, I ended up with a tank top and shorts tan!! Urgh! Gross! Haha.

Wondering why I said heartbreaking 17? Well, because I screwed up my relationships with a few people (not gonna go into details here). But yeah, I screwed up, and it hurts badly because they all mean so so much to me. *Sigh*.. I'm just hoping to salvage them now..

My Online Shop IS UP!

2008-02-01T20:08:00.000+08:00

The Dainty Affair

Japanese Game Show!

2008-01-26T17:02:00.003+08:00

This is sooooo funny! MUST WATCH! =)

O Level Results!!!

2008-01-23T14:46:00.000+08:00

I'm sure everyone has heard the news about the release of O Level results. Well, if you haven't, it's on Thursday which is ONLY 2 DAYS FROM NOW!!!! My heart is racing itself! Seriously speaking, I have no idea what to expect. I pray it'll be good though.. I don't want to get my results yet I want to get it! Haha. You know that feeling?? All my friends are saying, "The best thing is that our results are gonna be released just before Chinese New Year!" *Sigh* We better prepare some ear plugs so that we won't have to listen to our "KPO" aunties and uncles! I better do well! There are so many people I have to please.. Myself of course, then my family, my boyfriend, my boyfriend's parents, my grandparents, my relatives, my leaders, and of course God. But don't worry about me! I'll still be able to sleep on Wednesday night! Haha.

Animal Cruelty!

2008-01-21T17:10:00.000+08:00

This video below is a video of how some idiots abuse horses and calves. If I'm not wrong, it is a form of entertainment in that country, just like bull fighting. Just to warn you before you watch: This is EXTREMELY disturbing..

Honestly, I just wanted to take a gun and shoot all those idiotic cowboys who were abusing those animals. I wouldn't mind getting a life sentence just to save those horses and calves.

There was another video I watched that showed this lab testings done on monkeys. One of the many ways a monkey was abused was by stuffing the monkey into a tube about the diameter of a clenched fist and just nice the length of the monkey! The monkey will not have any space to move around!! Just imagine how torturous it is to be in that tube... Just imagine yourself being that monkey!

I have no idea what to say about those animal abusers.. Seriously. They are just so... I don't know. They're just darn idiots. Wish they'll get a taste of their own medicine!

The Start of a New Year.

2008-01-02T15:50:00.000+08:00

The best way to start off a new year is...

SHOPPING!!

Haha. My Daddy brought the four of us to the Metro sale at Singapore EXPO today. It was the last day! Phew! Haha. He gave us a budget of 100 bucks EACH! BUT.. I overshot. Heh heh =P

We shopped for 2 whole hours! :

A pair of slippers

These are damn comfy. Serious! Haha.

2 belts

Pants

Plus undies, and 2 bras! Haha.

(I don't think you'd want me to put those photos up.)

*or do you??*

There are clothes too. But it's being shared amongst me and my sisters.

So yup! No photos..

After that, I went out with Poh to BUGIS!!

I haven't been there in ages.

It has changed soooooo much.

Anyways..

Poh bought a lot of things and I didn't. =(

BUT!

He bought me my Christmas present ($89.90) =D

Thanks baby! I love it! =)

Then, we watched Alien vs Predator 2!

The seats were horrible, so was the view and the extremely small screen!

But nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

Because you were there=)

The ending of another year...

2008-01-01T15:58:00.000+08:00

This is Buttons. My boyfriend's hamster. I've been taking care of her for 6 months. These 6 months were enough for me to build a connection of love with her. I forgot what it feels like to lose a loved one until last Thursday, 27th of December 2007. Buttons passed away in her sleep. I'm not sure what time it was, but she was still moving that morning. I even gave her her food. After that, I took a bath and changed to a new set of clothes, all ready to go out. I was going to kiss her goodbye before I left. I guess it's really goodbye. She passed away. She was all hard and stiff. She wasn't moving. I called Poh Meng and told him about it. And we both cried. Buttons was with him even before his O levels.. We love you Buttons and we'll miss you. You were the best hamster ever. I'll really, really miss you..

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! May 2008 be the best year yet for you!=)
God bless!

Colby=)

2007-12-03T09:42:00.000+08:00

One of the most unforgettable thing that happened in November was that Colby went missing for 1 day and 2 nights! I never knew how much he meant to me until he went missing. All I know is that I love him so so much. The first night Colby went missing, my 2 sisters, and myself went around the whole estate searching for him. Xiao Li and I stayed up all the way till 5am just to look for him and to paste posters around! And of course, thank you Swee and Wei Ming for helping us to look for Colby. You efforts were really appreciated=)

Then on the second day, from 11am all the way till 4pm, Xiao Li and myself went around the whole estate to stick posters of Colby EVERYWHERE. And I really mean EVERYWHERE........ Haha. You know those old blocks where the lift stops only on the 1st, 5th, 9th and 13th floor? Yeah on every floor, there will be 2 of Colby's posters (as there are 2 lifts)! All the way to Parkway, all the way to Tau Nan Primary and all the way to East Coast Park! AND Colby's posters were LAMINATED. Haha. See how much we love you Colby? Haha.

The home which usually blasted the TV and couldn't stop shouting at the top of theit lungs was all of a sudden so quiet. No one was watching the TV. No one was using the computer. No one was doing any other thing except pasting double-sided tape on the posters and laminating them.

We kind of took different shifts to look for him. Haha. In the evening, my dad went door to door looking for Colby. At night, me, my brother and Xiao Xuan went door to door again.

PRAISE THE LORD! When we went home after our search, someone called us and told us that she had our dog. BUT she wanted money. What an idiot. She had a dog herself. But whatever. I'm just so glad that Colby is home=)

Graduation 2007

2007-12-01T20:04:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I blogged and I know my blog has been labelled "DEAD". But well, I'm here to revive it. Haha. It's been like what? 3 months?? And so many things have happened in 3 months. The main reason why I stopped blogging was because of my 'O' Levels and after that I was just too lazy and busy enjoying myself. Haha.

I went night cycling with Bern, Nic, Vick and Vick's friend. We cycled from East Coast Park all the way to The Cathay to watch "The Game Plan". Then as we were cycling back, it rained!!! So, we took shelter at the Kopitiam opposite SMU. Then all of a sudden, there were these 3 black guys who popped out of nowhere. And there was like a fight. It was 2 against 1. Haha. It was kind of funny yet a lil bit scary. One guy was holding a broken glass and he wanted to stab another guy. Then that guy started kneeling down and begging to be let off. Haha. So there was just a big who-ha after they went out. So peace at last. Haha. Until the ambulance came, the police came and blah, blah, blah... Everytime we go night cycling, something weird always have to happen. Haha.

By the way, I bought a pair of red pointed pumps! Hehe=)

Then graduation luncheon. Who organizes a grad lunch except for my school?? Haha. I didn't buy a dress. I just picked one from my closet. One which was recently given to me by my aunt. I was as usual extremely last minute. Haha. My dress was chosen 2 days before my prom. And the heels, clutch and accesories were picked at 12am that day. Haha. The thought of not being able to wear my uniform again really sucks. I've been wearing this uniform for 10 years! And I think I might even miss going for detentions. Haha. I'll miss my class, 403=) Although we are academically not as smart, but the friendship and all the shit that we do in class and out of class will always be remembered and missed. Haha. You have no idea what my class is capable of doing=) But YAY! No more Chinese lessons! WOoooooHoooooooo~ Haha. No more Mdm Loo standing in front of my table with folded arms and saying, "XIAO EN! One more time you sleep, I'm gonna make you stand outside of the class!" Haha.

Well, I'm gonna have my church BREAKAWAY CAMP on the 3rd-5th of December and I'm really looking forward to it!! It's been so long since my zone had an overnight camp! Haha. But yeah it means no computer, no bed, no tv! I'm in TEAM NOAH!! We're gonna win! Haha.

You know what? I'm so lazy to update anymore. So yeah I'm just gonna stop here. Haha. By the way, I WANNA WATCH ENCHANTED SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!! It's about Disney princesses and I WANNA WATCH!!!!!!

Oh and I've been sleeping at about 4am-6am everyday. My panda eyes are appearing... =(

Would You Be There (by Redwan Ali)

2007-12-01T19:02:00.000+08:00

If I were blue
Would you be there for me
And whisper in my ears that's okay
Would you stand by me
Let me hold you tight
And say you love me one more time

If I feel good
Would you slow dance with me
And touch my lips with tender love and care
Would you die for me
Would you run with me
And never look back

Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there...

If I am away
Would you still think of me
And wish that you could hold me now, hold me now~
And would you die for me
Would you run with me
All the way

Would you be there to save my soul tonight
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away
Would you be there...
For me...

UPDATES!

2007-08-26T13:30:00.000+08:00

OKOK... My blog is officially dead. I mean WAS. Haha. I broke my record of having at least one entry per month. I DIDN'T POST ANYTHING IN JULY!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! *pouts* Haha.
Ok so to make up for everything, I'm gonna give you a loooooooooooooooooooonngg entry=)
Now, where do I start. Maybe the little details first=) Haha.

Movies I've watched:
-Shrek 3
-Fantastic 4
-Nancy Drew
-Transformers
-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
-Die Hard 4.0
-The Simpsons

Blessed with:
-red skinny jeans from MNG
-black skinny jeans from MNG
-my OM card

And what's been sucking up my life and my time is my stupid O level art. Thanks to the O level art, I kinda dislike doing art now. I mean art should be something you do when you feel like doing. And finally, just yesterday, I finished painting my big board. BUT! just yesterday, my teacher just gave us our prelim art topics! I HATE ART!!! Well, I have no choice. So whatever..

Apparently, even if i don't wanna accept this fact, my prelim is in 16 days and my O level is in 53 days!!!! Yes, I am counting down if you didn't know. I'm counting down to dooms day.

Anyways, here's something to make my post a loooooooooooooooooonnngggg one. BUT this is really good. Not something unnecessary. I was quite dry for a little while because I let studies get in the way between me and God. But after reading this, it really touched me and helped me walk close to God again.

Psalm 22
My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?
O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.

But You are holy,
Who inhabit the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
They cried to You, and were not ashamed.

But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All those who see Me laugh Me to scorn;
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
"He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him;
Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"

But You are He who took out the womb;
You made Me trust when I was on My mother's breasts.
I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother's womb
You have been My God.
Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
They gape at Me with their mounths,
As a raging and roaring lion.

I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

For dogs have surrounded Me;
The assembly of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
They divide My garments among them.
And for My clothing they cast lots.

But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
Deliver Me from the sword,
My precious life from the power of the dog.
Save Me from the lion's mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

You have answered Me.

I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the congregation I will praise You.
You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But when He cried to Him, He heard.

My praise shall be of You in the great congregation;
I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the LORD.
Let your heart live forever!

All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the LORD,
And all the families of the nations
Shall worship before You.
For the kingdom is the LORD;s,
And He rules over the nations.

All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;
All those who go down to the dust
Shall bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

A prosperity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
They will come and declare His rightneousness to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.

That's about it for now=) Till the next time (which I hope is soon) ok?

"Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

Skinnies ARE MINE!!!

2007-06-28T17:17:00.000+08:00

Woohooooooooooooo. My mummy bought me my white skinnies from Topshop last Saturday!! I LOVE MY MUMMY=) Haha.

My first kill.

2007-06-20T03:19:00.000+08:00

My FIRST COCKROACH KILL!!!

Gosh. These pictures are so "uglifying" my blog.

Sick I tell you. I'm so gonna ask my maid to wash the shoe.

Love After Love.

2007-06-07T20:03:00.000+08:00

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

-Derek Walcott

White Skinny Jeans!!!!

2007-06-07T19:56:00.000+08:00

By the way, this is the white skinny jeans I want!!!

But apparently I can't have my jeans, my bag nor my dress anymore

because my mum doesn't want to give me any money.

She's only willing to give me like 50 bucks.

So yeah. Goodbye! =(

I love you Lord, More than I love myself.

2007-06-07T19:41:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps. Crap, I've got no choice but to blog because according to my friend, "Hey, so long already and your "cheena-fied" post is still the first post up there." So yeah. Here I am, all set to blabber. Haha.

Firstly, Praise the Lord for EMERGE 2007! As I began to worship, I was reminded of the time I gave my heart back to the Lord in 2004. That reminder brought me back to my first love. My friend used to tell one of my members, "Xiao En is willing to give up anything and put aside everything JUST to come to church." But hey, where am I now? Where is that passion I once had for Him? Where is that flame that was burning so brightly for Him? My first love, forever You will be. My first breath, You're the life in me.. As my knees touched the ground, as the tears rolled down my cheeks, I told God, "One life, I lay at your altar. One love, I have with You. Touch me again, fill me as You hold my outstretched hands. One word, You know I will follow. One heart, broken to You. Use me again, Your mercies follow me for all my days..." This Emerge really sparked off my relationship with God once again, and now I love Him more than ever before=)

To East Cluster: Hey guys, don't fret! First place is not all that matters. It's the relationship and the friendship we have built with one another.

Ok I know I shouldn't be typing this right now because I'm gonna have my Chinese O Level papers tomorrow. But I seriously think my blog needs some updating.

Firstly, I went night cycling with Bernie, Debbie and Li Yun (I don't know how many weeks ago). We cycled from East Coast Park ALL THE WAY to The Cathay. And guess what stupid show we watched??! THE BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WATCH THAT SHOW! I felt like slapping myself in the cinema. Haha. I thought we were in the wrong cinema and so I asked Debbie to go out to check if we were in the right one! Seriously man. It sucked big time. Haha.

It's 4 days away from the EMERGE conference and "WOW!" I'm down with cough and flu (not forgetting the sore throat which started everything). Ok.. I'm being chased off to sleep now. So Wish me the best for tomorrow that I won't fall asleep during the papers. Most importantly, I hope I won't have to use the innie-minnie-mynie-mo method again. Ciaos darlings=)

You pest!

2007-05-08T06:14:00.000+08:00

A cockroach ran into my bag today! And I carried the bag from the courtyard all the way to class! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I was carrying my worst nightmare around. Some call it my "bestfriend". IRRITATING PEST!! Why is the whole world infested with these ugly looking things. I see no use for them. Haha. Ironically, they existed wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before you and I did. So what. Haha. Ok stupid black and brown things. Don't disturb me ever again. I live my life and you live yours. Deal? Deal.

Loved ones.

2007-05-08T06:01:00.000+08:00

I miss US.

But I don't think it's gonna be the same again.

Blood? No blood..

2007-05-03T16:07:00.000+08:00

Ok. I'm not heavy enough to donate blood. I must be at least 45kg. But I'm only 43. And NO WAY am I gonna gain 2 kg just to donate blood. Cause I am trying to lose some weight here. So no no no.

The Sleep Chanter.

2007-05-01T17:22:00.000+08:00

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep my little darling...
That's what my Chinese paper 2 was singing to me! Haha.
Before the papers were given out, I said a little prayer to God.
I said, "Lord, I pray that I won't have to use the innie-minnie-myni-mo method.
I pray also that I will not fall asleep."
Then guess what?! By the time I was at the 4th question... ...
I DOZED OFF.......................................................
A few seconds later, I woke up.
Throughout the whole paper, my head was bobbing non-stop.
Haha. My friend wanted to wake me up, but she couldn't.

Before entering the examination hall, I told Maria,
"Hey Maria, after the paper later, ask me whether I slept or not ok?"
This was the question she asked me in another Chinese test last time.
And my response was, "Duh.."
So, as we were walking out of the exam hall,
I asked Maria,
"Hey Maria, you can ask me that question now."
And so she did.
Wanna guess what I said??

Haha. Forget it. Don't try.
I said, "YES.. I did. I dozed off when I was only at question 4.."
And yes.. Maria laughed.
IRRITATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't want to sleep!
But I don't know.. It's like the paper has some kind of magical power to make me fall asleep or something. Heh.

Anyway, Hey Girl. Today, I felt weird talking to you. It was like as though there was something between us. I feel as though we are just some 'Hi-Bye' friend now. I know nothing about your life anymore. Nothing. Except that you're quarreling with her. And yeah that's about it. I don't really care if she reads this or not. But anyway I think she was jealous that we were talking or something that's why she 'All of a sudden' pulled you out to accompany her to the toilet. She was still angry with you before that. I seriously don't care what you are gonna say about this - that I'm over reacting or whatever. She probably just crapped up a story to you about the incident between us. Say I'm childish. Ok. Whatever. You said it already. I'm not angry with what happened during the incident. I'm just angry with her attitude and the kind of person she is. Up to you to believe her or me. I just know that our friendship is not the same anymore. Love ya=)

CHINESE!!

2007-04-30T13:51:00.000+08:00

It's my Chinese Mid-year paper tomorrow! I hope God will do a miracle.. My Mandarin clearly sucks. I was studying at Macs with my friends just now and was practicing the close passage. You know, the one where you have 4 options and you choose one? Yeah that one. I started that passage at 9pm and at 9.30pm, I was only at question 3!!! I spent so much time looking for the meaning of words and learning how to read words! Crap...... Most of the time I'll just do the innie-minnie-myni-mo method for most parts of the paper. And when it comes to the reading parts, I'll doze off. It's like as though there's some kind of sleeping charm to it. Haha. I hope nothing like that will happen tomorrow!

God, help..

Our friendship.

2007-04-24T15:26:00.000+08:00

It's time to blog again! Well, point taken sis. I'm gonna blog about it too. Cause I seriously can't stand it when people say that the word "Damn" is a bad word. It's just another way of saying "Shit!" or "Crap!".

"Replace it with "oh shit", "holy crap", "Jesus christ", "F***", you'll think that the word damn is not that crude and offending. It's all debatable, no right or wrong."

It's nothing more than an expression to me. Seriously. Nothing more than that.
Eg: "Damn nice man", "Damn it", "the food is DAMN good man", "damn cute", "Damn pretty/handsome"..
It's just a word, nothing more than that. People should just take it easy, and not go "Nooooooooooo, you can't say that. It's a bad word."

Oh another thing I read off your blog sister!
There are other ways you can light a heart.
Eg. Donating blood (which is definitely not my kinda thing because I am truly afraid of needles. BUT I'm gonna do it anyway. See how brave I am. Be proud of me=)).
Then, there is also something called donating money.

Your dear momma won't do it. So yeah. Nonetheless I'm supportive of it too. (Just as long as it's not my hair) We're quits. Haha.

So anyway, back to what I originally wanted to post about until I came across my sister's web..

Long term:

What am I gonna do in the future? Don't wanna end up like the old man. A jack of all traits but a master of none.

I WAS good in my studies. But, now what? I kinda suck academically. I wish I could just skip the whole education thing and just do what I like best. Nope. I can't. According to the government. I wanna do well in my studies. I wanna go study abroad. But can I make it? Can I do well for my O levels? I don't wanna resit another year of examinations. I will go to a JC if I can. Or maybe not. I don't know. All I care for now is to do well. Nothing else.

Short term:

O levels

You never know who your true friends are until troubles come your way. I'll never believe in secondary school best friends. They rarely last. Sometimes, the people who irritate you the most are those that will stay by your side. I thought our friendship would last. Yes, the truth hurts.

JERK!

2007-04-10T16:05:00.000+08:00

MY PHONE GOT STOLEN BY AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at Parkway Macs as usual, to study. I placed my phone on the table and stood up, just to throw my rubbish into a bin which was less than a metre away from my table. When I turned back, these 3 Temasek Secondary students asked me if I had lost anything. I was like, "Huh? Why?" Then one of them said that he saw a guy walk past my table and ran off. But he wasn't sure if he took anything. I checked my stuff and I found my handphone missing! The Temasek student said that that guy was wearing a light blue Polo T and Jeans. So I grabbed Bernie and I STOMPED out of Macs. Me and a few of my other friends split up to look for that asshole but we couldn't find him. Thank God one of my friends was smart enough to exchange numbers with one of the Temasek students.

A few of my friends and I went to Parkway to search. But couldn't find him. So I went to Singtel to cut off my line. Meanwhile 2 of my friends went to the nearby police station to make a report. They didn't know my phone model and I too didn't know! Haha. Therefore, I went to Nokia to get a brochure on my phone =)

When I got to the police station, the Temasek students were there too! They actually went around to help me look for the guy! I'm touched. Really =)
So we gave our statement and yeah, the police will investigate. But honestly, I don't believe that the police will find anything. Heh. Sorry! But that was the first nice policeman that I've met=)

I'll Miss You =)

2007-03-26T01:24:00.000+08:00

I never expected it to be that emotional, but I'll miss you.
I'll miss going home with you (we still will but not as often).
I'll miss crapping with you about.. You-Know-What. Haha.
I'll miss taking cabs with you.
I'll miss getting the scoldings together.
I'll miss being in the same cell group as you!
I'll miss sitting with you during service, prayer meetings, etc.
I'll miss going for cg outings with you.
I'll miss fellowshipping with you after cg and svc.
Ah Crap!! I'll REALLY MISS YOU, swee!

After being in 3 same cell groups for 3 years, we're finally going our different ways.
I don't bear to part but there's definitely something better installed for us =)
I'll definitely miss all our gibberings and quarrels. But it doesn't matter..
We can still do it in class! Haha. Alright. Stop being emo Angie. See you in school =) Loves.

2007-03-15T17:26:00.000+08:00

Thanks Tara for the preview tics to "Freedom Writers" =)
THIS SHOW IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!
It's inspired by a true story of a teacher (Erin Gruwell) and her Long Beach students.
Seeing how a teacher went all out into her students' life, and changing a class where the blacks and the whites discriminated each other into a class that is now a family, moved me to tears. Hearing their individual stories, and the stories of innocent kids who died, was really heart-rending.

It's Pinky and the BRAIN..

2007-03-12T10:01:00.000+08:00

Some random brain test I did from a friend's blog. =) Kinda cool actually. Haha.

http://www.mindmedia.com/brainworks/index.html

My Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 29%
Visual : 70%
Left : 57%
Right : 42%

Angeline, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.
Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.
You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."
With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

TRIVIA Science =)

2007-03-03T11:58:00.000+08:00

YAY! Updates! Sorry that I haven't been updating guys, I've been busy studying for my CA1. Anyway, just wanna wish you all Happy Chinese New Year! I know it's belated but well, it's better than not wishing at all =)

Well time for the good news now. I passed my combined Science!!!!!!!!!!! I managed to pass both Chemistry and Biology! And..... I achieved an A1 for E Math!! Yippie! The paper was easy=) Haha.

We did something really fun during Chem and Bio today! During Chem, we were doing some experiments with solutions. I can't show you what we did because I didn't bring my camera down to the Chem lab, but it was just damn COOL!! Haha. I wanna do it again!!!

We are now studying Genetics for Bio and today, we were supposed to create our own babies! Theresa was the Father and I was the Mum. This is how our baby looks like! Her name is Xing Xing! HAHA!

How cool is that! Haha. Take a look at the Worksheet.

(you gotta enlarge it to read)

We had to flip a coin and if it lands on head, it's the dominant gene. And tails, the recessive gene.
Now take a look at the back of the worksheet!

(you gotta enlarge it to read)

Just look at the choices we have! HAHAHA! I burst out laughing the moment I flipped the worksheet over!

Mrs. Jones

2007-02-01T15:58:00.000+08:00

She was a large woman with a large purse(1) that had everything in it but hammer and nails. It had a long strap, and she carried it slung across her shoulder. It was about eleven o'clock at night, and she was walking alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse. The strap broke with the single tug the boy gave it from behind. But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance so, instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk, and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter. Then she reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled.
After that the woman said, "Pick up my pocketbook(2), boy, and give it here." She still held him. But she bent down enough to permit him to stoop and pick up her purse. Then she said, "Now ain’t you ashamed of yourself?"
Firmly gripped by his shirt front, the boy said, "Yes'm."
The woman said, "What did you want to do it for?"
The boy said, "I didn't aim to."
She said, "You a lie!"
By that time two or three people passed, stopped, turned to look, and some stood watching.
"If I turn you loose, will you run?" asked the woman.
"Yes'm," said the boy.
"Then I won't turn you loose," said the woman. She did not release him.
"I'm very sorry, lady, I'm sorry," whispered the boy.
"Um-hum! And your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain't you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?"
"No'm," said the boy.
"Then it will get washed this evening," said the large woman starting up the street, dragging the frightened boy behind her.
He looked as if he were fourteen or fifteen, frail and willow-wild, in tennis shoes and blue jeans.
The woman said, "You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face. Are you hungry?"
"No'm," said the being dragged boy. "I just want you to turn me loose."
"Was I bothering you when I turned that corner?" asked the woman.
"No'm."
"But you put yourself in contact with me," said the woman. "If you think that that contact is not going to last awhile, you got another thought coming. When I get through with you, sir, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones."
Sweat popped out on the boy's face and he began to struggle. Mrs. Jones stopped, jerked him around in front of her, put a half-nelson about his neck, and continued to drag him up the street. When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside, down a hall, and into a large kitchenette-furnished room at the rear of the house. She switched on the light and left the door open. The boy could hear other roomers laughing and talking in the large house. Some of their doors were open too, so he knew he and the woman were not alone. The woman still had him by the neck in the middle of her room.
She said, "What is your name?"
"Roger," answered the boy.
"Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face," said the woman, whereupon she turned him loose - at last. Roger looked at the door - looked at the woman - looked at the door - and went to the sink.
"Let the water run until it gets warm," she said. "Here's a clean towel."
"You gonna take me to jail?" asked the boy, bending over the sink.
"Not with that face, I would not take you nowhere," said the woman. "Here I am trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat and you snatch my pocketbook! Maybe, you ain't been to your supper either, late as it be. Have you?"
"There's nobody home at my house," said the boy.
"Then we'll eat," said the woman, "I believe you're hungry - or been hungry - to try to snatch my pocketbook."
"I wanted to buy a pair of blue suede shoes," said the boy.
"Well, you didn't have to snatch my pocketbook to get some seude shoes," she said Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. "You could of asked me."

Marketplaces..

2007-01-31T16:40:00.000+08:00

WOW! Thanks Rev. Dr. A. R. Bernard for that wonderful word! Finally an enlightenment to some Christians. It doesn't mean that if you are not serving in the church ministry, you are 'unholy'. Some people are just not called to be in the church ministry but in the marketplace. Well, if everyone is in the church ministry, who then is going to be in the marketplace where most of the influence comes from? Felt so good after listening to that because someone used to tell me those kinda stuff. So yeah. Hope that person heard that wonderful word that was shared.

Anyways, the next post is going to be a story of a very nice lady which was also taken from my Lit worksheet=) hope you like it!

the hole

2007-01-29T13:26:00.000+08:00

It was a little after I had my lunch when I heard the knock at the door. When I opened it, a polite man greeted me and passed me an envelope. Please collect the body within 24 hours, or it will be cremated. There was no room for shock.The whole week I had prepared myself for this. I did not let my hands tremble as I accepted the envelope. I told myself I was receiving something that was weightless.

The man left earlier than I expected. I did not like the idea that he felt it was only proper to leave me to in private. He did not understand that there was no grief. My son and I had not spoken to each other for many years. Unlike his mother, I had refused to visit him in prison. I would have opened the envelope right in front of the man if he had stayed. I would have done it calmly, and when I am done, I will look at him straight in the eyes and say thank you.

But the man would be mistaken if he had thought my actions were calm. Because calmness meant that I was placing my feelings under control. But as I have said, I had no more feelings anymore. It was not calmness, but numbness. Very early on I had decided that everything that was happening was as a result of fate. It was fate that would hold my son up like a puppet from a rope, and it was also fate that would move my hands, also like a puppet, to tear the edge of an envelope.

Inside the envelope was a letter. There was also my son's pink identity card. I put the letter to one side and stared hard at the I/C. So this was what a dead man looked like. There were shadows under his eyes. There was something far away in his expression, a face not prepared for the snap of the camera.

There was his name.

There was my name too. Separated from his by the word 'Bin'(1).

His race.

Date of birth.

Country of birth.

On the back, his I/C number.

Our home address.

But what absorbed me the most was a little hole that had been punched in his I/C. It was there to say that the I/C could no longer be used. To show someone an I/C like this, you would have to place your finger and thumb over the hole, praying that nobody would notice that you are holding something that has been damaged. I suddenly saw my son holding the I/C in this way, trying to pass himself off as someone who was still alive. It was just the sort of lying thing that I could expect from him. I imagined him doing it with that crooked smile on his face, the smile he
always used to convince us that he would change, that he was listening, that everything would turn out all right. And I became angry.

My anger turned towards the person who had punched the hole. I had seen the way a credit card is destroyed, with a big pair of scissors slicing it into two halves. Why couldn't they do the same with this I/C? Why this clean, straightforward hole? I felt my anger burn, first on my skin, through the flesh, like a droplet of acid, right into my bones. My son was no more. I saw a series of circles, perfect circles... the outline of a playground, the stone table under our block, the noose tightening around his neck, the shape of his mouth when he was still a baby, shrinking to the size of the hole. It is an opening through which I feel my body leaking, drop by drop, until the day I join my son on the other side.

(from Alfian Sa'at, 'the hole')

KIMO WIMO

2006-12-12T06:45:00.000+08:00

I went for a KCsailing gathering at Cherie's house on Friday. It was to celebrate Christmas, Ms Lau's birthday and Kim's farewell. We had gifts exchange and I got a really cute, pink cup from Shu Neng.

After all the eating, talking and exchanging of gifts, we went up to Cherie's movie room to watch the video of us playing canoe polo at Big Splash the other time. Then, Cherie gave a speech and anyone else who wanted to say something could just voice it out. It was like an appreciation session. I shared to Kim that the reason why I came back to sailing was because she was going to be the coach again. I knew her since Primary 4 when I was in KC Primary where I joined sailing as my CCA. Kim shared something about me which was when I ALMOST cried. But I held it back. Then I hugged her. And yup =) That's it. That was the last time we were going to see her before she leaves for Australia.

Next year is the first year I'll be racing for my secondary school (because I've been slacking the past 2 years). And the first year I'll be racing on the byte, Kim has to go! Noooooooooooooo...... Haha. I've progressed from calling her Aunty Kim, to Ms Kim and now to Kim. She saw me when I was really tiny and super tanned and now to still tiny but not so tiny. Haha. Yup I'll miss her LIKE CRAZY! Alright, I've got to go drown myself in tears now. WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Dreadful...

2006-11-28T15:52:00.000+08:00

I just got a haircut!!!!!!!! I don't really like it though. It's just OKAY.. Nothing beyond that. At first it looked really nice. But the hairdresser continued cutting and cutting and CUTTING! NOW I'M JUST OKAY WITH IT! Haha. Ok, ok.. I know I'm making a lot of noise here. But who cares. My hair is gonna grow back. SO... Nevermind.

Ahh gosh. I've got to go pack my bag for camp now. I'll be gone for 3 days! I'm so depressed! Because I can't go for the zone workshop =(
It's so saddening. But oh well.. The camp is compulsory. So, Boooooooooooooooooooooo....

AND ONE MORE THING!
I will not be in Singapore for Christmas! Why?! Because I'll be in China. No workshop, no Christmas and no Thanksgiving =(
And plus, I've gotta go for an INJECTION!!! To prevent myself from birdflu!! If you're wondering what actually scares me... Yes, it's injections. I hate it, dread it, despise it and wish not to have it!! Honestly, I'd rather not go to China anymore. Thanks to the stupid injection.

AMAZING race

2006-11-21T19:14:00.000+08:00

I had a really fun day yesterday (19/11/06)! My sub-zone was playing the Amazing Race. My team members were Sherman, Zachary, Douglas and Alicia. Oh man! I keep mixing Sherman and Zachary up! They just look so alike. Haha. And they both kept on confusing me because they knew that I kept mixing them up! Sherman kept saying that he was Zach! Ugh those two boys!! Haha. But anyways, they were great! All my team members were great! You guys were amazing! I seriously thought that we wouldn't even have a chance of winning because we were the second last team at the 5th station. And because the last team which we were supposed to compete with was too slow, we had to skip that station and move on to the last station. And guess what?! We were the last to be there! Then, it came to announcing the top 4 teams. As the teams were being called out, "A_, A_, A_, and last but not least...."Although I really knew that there wasn't a chance, I just kept mouthing my group's name"b2..b2..b2..b2..b2.." And guess what?!! "..... B2!" I was like, "OH-MY-GOSH!" Seriously, I just stood there and stared at my group members while they too were staring back at me. Haha. The top 4 teams then had to do their group cheer. Ours went like this,

"Who's gonna win!
B2! B2!
Who's gonna win!
B2! B2!
Go..............B2!

Go B2.. Go B2.. Go, Go, Go B2...(with our butts and hands going round)
Go..............B2!"

Sherman looked so cute doing the actions =) And Lucas kept making us do it over and over again. Haha.

"And so....................The $60 Swenson voucher goes to..............................B2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell you. I was so shocked.. But happy =D
Then I told Alicia. "Slow and steady wins the race." Haha.
Well, because after the food game, we had to go to the 4th station which involved running. And as a result, my members were too tired to run after that station. So I just let them walk. And when we arrived at the 5th station, Douglas threw up. Poor chap. First he had diarrhoea, then he puked. So yeah, we just walked all the way. And yup. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!

Mark 10:31
"But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

Ohh. We had a memory verse which was the last station. And our verse was:

Deuteronomy 28:13
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

What an encouragement eh? Haha.

Stripeyyyyy......

2006-11-14T03:50:00.000+08:00

Wanna know how this picture came about?? Ok. STOP LAUGHING! I know it's funny. My friend was shopping online and she asked me for my opinion on whether she should get certain tops or not. And so as I was helping her to choose, I came across that brown striped top (in the picture) and I thought it was really nice. BUT I didn't know whether it would look nice on me. Sooo...... I decided to "try it on". Haha. I used photoshop, and TA-DAH! My master piece. Haha. I decided to buy the top but guess what?! It didn't have my size!!! Noooooooooooooo.....! After all my effort, it didn't have my size! I am so depressed. Haha. Ohh anyways, the word "Bo-do" was written by my brother. How nice of him huh? Thanks a lot. Now laugh all you want. I'm off! BYE.

Your Promotion WILL come!

2006-10-31T09:30:00.000+08:00

Last wednesday, I received the news from my friend that I received my BLUE FORM!!!! Getting the blue form means that I am definitely going to Sec 4. You wouldn't know how happy I am now!! Haha. I seriously thought that I had a chance of retaining because most of us, even though we passed our end-of-year papers, knew that our mid-year papers would still pull our marks down. And plus! My teachers kept making us feel more nervous. They said that they could retain as many people if they want to, as long as we do not pass the required amount of subjects. Those who didn't get the form would either advance or retain. 22 of us, which is about half my class, managed to get the blue form and I really don't know why I'm one of them. There were so many other people who should have gotten it but didn't. So then, I reminded myself again that God is great and that as long as you trust in Him, He will not fail you or let you down. So yup! All glory goes to Him for my promotion. Without His grace, I might not have made it. PTL!

Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand.

Success!

Good job Adam! We both updated.

You can't say I didn't. =)

He said, "I love you."

2006-10-18T16:04:00.000+08:00

Alone in my room,
We had our little conversation.
I was enjoying the attention.
Then, He kissed me.
He said, "I love you."
He carressed me
in His warm, tender arms.
My hair was standing
But I knew His love was true.
I left myself crying on my bed.

Then..

I knew someone else was watching.
he was angry.
And jealous.
A cold shiver ran up my spine.
I was afraid.
Afraid that he would torture me again.
I trembled.

But He was with me.
I knew that that someone else
couldn't touch me.
Still, I felt inferior,
lost, and afraid.

Will he torture me again?
I didn't know.
But I was reassured.
My love was with me.
He protected me.

With His life..

The Way Through The Woods

2006-10-07T07:43:00.000+08:00

They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again.
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted trees.

It is underneath the coppice and heath
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.

Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate,
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods . . .
But there is no road through the woods,

Rudyard Kipling

Good English? Bad English?

2006-09-22T16:14:00.000+08:00

It's amazing how some people can speak such good English and yet some speak in a language which they THINK is English, but actually sounds like some 'alienated' language. It really is amazing.. and funny. This post may sound mean but I just got to say it.

When I reached my house last night, I saw a missed call on my phone and so I messaged the person who called me.

I said, "Hi sorry. May i know who called?"
The person replied, saying, "I'm sorry to,hai...What is your name?"
"Who's this?"
"You name is angeline,my name is rigo..."
"Were you the guy at macs just now?"
"Nating...I thing i wrong,i'm sorry so much,i do your fon namber in my fon.Bye...Pls delet my namber fon,u n i,i thing...U my fren becouse i wan't to do to spake in english langaue.Becouse i dot know spake in englis langaue.Khent u spake in malay?"
"Huh? i'm sorry. I can't understand what you're saying. But i don't speak malay. Do i know you? How did you get my number?"
"I get your number fon?I don't know...Becouse to day i take my fon,i thing you fren cange fon andend daear put your namber fon to this is my fon,your namber fon have in my fon i dont know,becouse my fon i buye to day,i'm sorry so much becous i thing u dont know what's i spake.I m sorry becouse i dont know spake in english langaue,few..Have,u hate me?"

Then, I didn't reply. I couldn't understand a thing he was saying.. Haha. Anyway, everything here, I copied word for word. So yup=) laugh while you can.. Or deprive yourself of laughter. I know you want to laugh, so just LAUGH!!!!

Watch It.

2006-09-21T15:30:00.000+08:00

I've been wanting to post up about the many things that has been going on, but my post has pictures that have yet to be uploaded. And due to some problems with my computer, I can't upload them. So for now, let me tell you a story. A story which doesn't need a picture to be posted up, but instead to be painted out and imagined in your own mind.

This story is about "The Tyrant Who Became A Just Ruler".

In olden times there lived a King, who was so cruel and unjust towards his subjects that he was always called The Tyrant. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that they might have a new king. One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them,-
"My dear subjects, the days of my tyranny are over. Henceforth you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule henceforth justly and well."
The King kept his word so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King. By and by one of his favourites came to him and said,-
"Your Majesty, I beg of you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards your people?"
And the King replied,-
"As I was galloping through the forests one afternoon, I caught sight of a hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the dog so badly that he would be lame for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw a stone at him, which broke his leg. The man had not gone far when a horse kicked him and broke his leg. And the horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and resolved to change my rule. 'For surely,' I said to myself, 'he who doeth evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.'"

I know, I know. This story sounds so..Cheesy. But anyway, it's the message that is being brought forth that counts. "He who doeth evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil." You know, even things like laughing at a person or criticising something about a person is also counted as evil. I do admit I unconciously do it sometimes or even intentionally, but everyone is not perfect, and that's why we have so much to learn. You may do something wrong even without noticing. It's natural. But just think before you say something. Watch your tongue and watch your own actions. Guard your heart, for the arrogant cannot stand in His presence; He hates all who does wrong. He destroys those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. If you are angry, DO NOT sin. Meditate within your heart, and be still (Psalms 5:5-6, Psalms 4:4). Just always remember that God will relieve you in your times of distress.

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH!!

Respects to Crocodile Hunter

2006-09-05T09:27:00.000+08:00

CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when he was stung, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

He collapsed at Batt Reef, near Low Isle and the resort town of Port Douglas, Queensland state police said in a statement. Port Douglas is about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane, the state capital.

A rescue helicopter rushed to the scene but Irwin had died, the statement said.

Queensland ambulance service spokesman Bob Hamil confirmed that a diver had been killed by a stingray off Lowe Isles Reef and said cause of death appeared to be a "stingray strike to the chest."

Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

“The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet,” John Stainton, Irwin’s friend and producer, said in the statement. “He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. Crocs Rule!”

Settlers

2006-09-05T06:28:00.000+08:00

Oh yes. The XIAOs and the LOWs went to Settlers last Monday to have their last dinner with one of the LOWs, Adam. Haha.

It's a really fun place and it's the first time I've ever stayed in a cafe for so long. We stayed for a total of about 4hrs and 30 mins.

OK! Pictures, pictures, pictures:

My sis' creation. WOW........

I HATE ART!!!!!!

2006-09-04T02:32:00.000+08:00

Finally I've got the time to blog again. I've been so busy with school work and exams. ART!! I love it and yet hate it at the same time. I guess all you arty farty people know what I mean. Like what my sis just reminded me, "No wonder people say, " It's the passion that keeps one going.""

Here's an update of my life this week:

On Monday, my first 4 periods in school were Art. We were learning how to use photoshop. Although I already know how to use Photoshop, but I didn't know how to use EVERYTHING in Photoshop. I knew the main stuff, but I didn't know there were so many other tools I could use to make lots of other effects. So anyhow, it's still a good course and I learnt a lot out of it. =)

Anyway, back to Monday.. I was doing my CA3 assignment. I was only left with the background to do and so I went to look for brushes on the net. I spent a lot of time (about one hour I guess) looking for suitable brushes. I finally found the brushes I liked and as I was downloading them, the whole computer restarted. I HATE THE SCHOOL'S COMPUTERS!! I was so pissed off because that wasn't the first time it restarted on its own. Last Monday, when I was having Art, I was trying to clean off the background of a picture. I took about one hour to clean off the background because I had to try to differentiate the hair from the background as both are black. Haha. And guess what?! When I was almost done, the computer restarted!! Urgh!!

So because of that, I had to stay back after school to try to complete it. This time, I got my brushes and I started working on my background. When I was more than halfway done with my background, guess what!!!!!!!! The stupid school comp hanged! I started screaming in the comp lab. Haha. It was so irritating okay! So because I ran out of time, i had to do it at home in order to hand it in by wednesday.

First the school comp, now mine. URGH!! So irritating. My comp was lagging like mad and because I had to finish it that night, I did it till 5 in the morning. Because of that, I was late for school!!!!

Here's the stupid art piece:

I'm COOL.

The World Cup Champs of 2006

2006-07-14T09:17:00.000+08:00

Italy, The World Cup Champions.

2006-07-14T09:10:00.000+08:00

GO ENGLAND!!!

*Sigh*

France lost.

I went to Ivan's church on Sunday night,

to support him and also to watch SOCCER!!

heeeeeee =]

Praise and Worship was great!

I thought that it was so cute seeing Ivan bouncing

up and down on the stage.

Haha.

I guess it's a little different from my church.

But WHO CARES!!

The presence of God was there.

The hunger for God to move was there.

What does this show?

It doesn't matter where you are,

or which church you're in.

We are all part of the body of Christ.

And God WILL move.

They sang worship even though they were

there to watch the World Cup!

But like what their Pastor (i think) said,

"Even though we're here just to watch soccer,

but it says in the Bible that

we should sing praises to God no matter where we are,

and no matter what time it is."

After the whole session,

there was a satay bbq.

As I was walking in the midst of the crowd,

I saw one of my school mate, Elizabeth!

She belonged to that church.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Haha.

I didn't expect to see anyone else I knew there!

And so we went back into the hall.

They played us a video on some of the soccer players

and how God was the ones who helped them

through their years of playing soccer and

being in the World Cup.

And now..

The moment we all awaited for..

WORLD CUP FINALS 2006!!!!

Ok. I admit..

I did doze off at some parts of the 1st half.

heh... =P

I was so happy when France scored the goal!

But Italy just had to break it..

They scored a goal too.

When it came to half-time,

I had my chance to sleep.

But.. No one woke me up when the 2nd half started!

And guess when I woke up!?

Just after Zidane did his head-butt on Materazzi!!

AHHHHH!!!!

I MISSED IT!!

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha.

He should have controlled himself

until after the whole game was over.

France could have stand a chance

if they had Zidane.

Zidane was a penalty taker.

So if he was there,

he could have made a difference in the shootout.

The papers say that

Zidane is a brilliant player.

He could have been remembered for that.

But now,

Zidane's head-butt will be what he is remembered for,

instead of his wonderful play.

I totally disagree.

Yes. I will remember Zidane for the head-butt

he did on Materazzi.

But the thing about him

that I will remember the most,

will be that he was a wonderful and brilliant player.

Zidane. Oh, Zidane... ...

YOU STILL ROCK MY SOCCER WORLD!!!

Haha.

Here's some pics! =)

Waiting for a cab to go to Ivan's church

In the cab.. I'm so EXCITED!!!! Haha.

That's me sleeping. Heeeeeee... =)

Shhhhhh......... Don't tell anyone. Ok?

The Cat and The Guitar

2006-07-14T08:30:00.000+08:00

I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean on Channel 5,

and playing my guitar at the same time

... ... ... ...

...when a cat came to my door,

sat down,

and listened to me play.

It was sooooooo CUTE!!

I decided to go closer to it.

But as what most other cats would do...

RUN AWAY!!

The cat ran down.

I thought that maybe if I continued to play,

it would come back.

So...

I played. And played. And PLAYED.

But still there was no sign of the cat.

In the end,

I decided to go down to look for it.

I went down with my photographer (my sis).

We found the cat one level down.

I didn't want to scare it away,

so I sat on the steps

and started playing the guitar.

After playing for a while,

the cat fell asleep!!

Again, I decided to go closer.

Dumb enough,

The cat woke up.

So I sat at the bottom of the steps

and started playing again.

Spot the CAT!

Found it? Found it??

World Cup Disaster

2006-07-03T08:38:00.000+08:00

England v Portugal

Loser? : Winner?

Brazil v France

Loser? : Winner?

Oh my goodness!!!!!!

I can't believe it!

Brazil didn't even get into the Semi-finals!

This is sooooooooo wrong.

Haha.

Did you see the looks on those English when they lost?

Did you see the look on my poor David Beckham's face?

Most importantly...

Did you see the look on my poor Joe Cole's face?

Ahhhh! I'm so sad!

It's okay England. I still support you!!

See you in 4 years time!

It's time for Beckham and J. Cole have a good night's sleep anyway.

Poor J. Cole's eyebags are so big, he looks like he got punched.

Ahh.. My poor Joe Cole.

Haha.

(Oh by the way, Cheryl Tweedy is so PRETTY.

She is H-O-T, HOT!)

Better give them a fine!! Haha.

The Planning Of Today Determines My Performance Of Tomorrow.

2006-06-15T15:38:00.000+08:00

I was just reading through some of my previous daily success keys and I came across this entry which really struck me. As you will read, that opportunities WILL come to all. But only those who are ready can recognize the opportunity when it comes and will be ready to accept that opportunity. What will become of me if I don't plan for my tomorrow? Or if I make a wrong choice or decision that will cause my walk with God to go the wrong way? You may say "I have already made plans for my future." But ask yourself, "Am I making the right choices? Is this what God really wants in my life?" The choices you make today will determine your tomorrow.

The Planning Of Today Determines My Performance Of Tomorrow.

Understanding this principle is vital to the future progress of our lives. There are many who are unhappy in life because they're not where they would like to be. There are others experiencing great joy because they are reaping the rewards of the life they have planned. There are far too many believers who reject the interval of time when God is attempting to lay the groundwork and develop their character. This season of planning is necessary to qualify them for what God desires for them to accomplish.

We cannot afford to neglect to plan for our future. What type of builder would attempt to build a skyscraper without first having a blueprint? Why is it any different when building a life? God wants to bring all of us a great future, but only those who plan will ever experience it. Although opportunity may come to all, only those who have readied themselves can recognize the opportunity when it comes. Develop a plan for attaining the future you desire. It is time to get ready for the future that you have planned for.

Proverbs 21:5 (NLT)

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Proverbs 21:5 (NKJV)

The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, sure to poverty.

Emerge 2006

2006-06-13T08:05:00.000+08:00

Ok. This post should be up a long time ago. Anyways, here it is.

The first night was our POS performance. I'm so depressed because, out of all the stunts I was supposed to do, I didn't manage to complete my hitch. That was the only stunt, that I really, really, REALLY didn't wanna screw up in. But well, it's over.

There were 2 sessions on the second day. I served for session 3. PRAISE THE LORD! I was thinking about where I would be serving that night. Then I got the message that I would be serving in Charlie. I was so happy. Haha. Finally, not Alpha, not Echo and not traffic. I'm not saying that it's bad serving there. In fact, I do enjoy serving in those areas. But it's just that I've been serving only in those 3 areas since the day we moved to EXPO. So yup! I was so happy. And guess what?! Not only was I serving in Charlie, I was positioned to serve in CA02. That's where the pastors and leaders sit in! Haha. Praise the Lord!!

On that night, Kelly Poon, Jun Yang and Taufik came to our church to perform! I was so surprised! Well, everyone was. Haha. Heard from pastor that all 3 of them said that they have never seen anything or been to anywhere like this before!

On the 3rd day, SUN and her manager Yellow came! I went up to the stage with Swee. I passed her a teddy bear and Swee passed her a balloon in the shape of a flower. Written on it was "You're special". SUN gave both of us a hug!!! Haha. We all had a great time.

After service, me and my sis had to rush home because it was our MUMMY's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

And of course, the last day of EMERGE. No doubts that that night ended with a loud bang! There was a performance by the Strikeforce team, dance, and our very beloved....... SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What more?!! Milk who used to be from the pop band "ENERGY" came with her! They performed a song together, "881. Loneliness", from SUN's latest album.

And then, the time which all the students were waiting for and feeling so anxious about.... the RESULTS!!

For the secondary clusters:
1st. South
2nd. East Woohoo!!
3rd. North
4th. West

Tertiary clusters:
1st. SIM/SMU
(can't remember the rest) I'll update if i can remember =P

After everything ended, my zone gathered together to take a zone photo. Wow! I didn't know so many people from the zone! It's so big now!! Haha.

Well, EMERGE 2006 was a great success!

There's something wrong with blogger. So I can't upload the pictures. Never mind. Till next time.

Life

2006-06-10T15:42:00.000+08:00

Was life nothing more than a storm

that constantly washed away what had been

there only a moment before,

and left behind something barren

and unrecognizable?

She's The Man

2006-06-07T14:58:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to watch "She's The Man" with Swee, Lucas, GJ, Shawn and his sister. Nice show. Should watch. Haha. It's funny. Really. Then we went to eat at Pastamania. Me and Swee went to Heeren after that.

As we were waiting for a bus, something funny happened. Shhhh.... Swee, it's our secret. Haha.

Take all of me

2006-06-04T13:36:00.000+08:00

Take all of me

I give You my all

For all of You

Move in Your power

Open the heavens Lord

Today

I give You my all in exchange for all of You.

X-Men

2006-05-29T13:29:00.000+08:00

Watched X-Men last night with some peeps. It was great! I love Storm! Why? Because she's so pretty! Haha. I love her hair. Oh, and her white eye thing is like so cool. Haha. She's so HOT!! Jean Grey just looks freaky when her veins starts popping out and her eye looks damn freaky. Haha. Ok. I'm lazy. So that's all i'm gonna say. Ciaos.

Semi-finals

2006-05-27T14:56:00.000+08:00

It was the Spelling Bee semi-finals yesterday. Let's just get straight to the point. I didn't make it in to the finals. Honestly, I don't exactly know how I felt after I was asked to leave the room. Mixed emotions just started filling me up. Sad and disappointed because I didn't make it to the finals. Sorry E316. And for all those sleepless nights.. Gosh. Just look at my eye bags and my dark rings. Haha. But hey! Looking on the bright side, I don't have to learn another 1000 words and no more sleepless nights!!! Because I didn't know whether I was happy or sad, so I just laughed. Haha. Anyways, even though I didn't get into the finals, I sure did learn a lot of new words. Bet you've never even seen most of the words before! Haha. E.g. hoick, kaolin, laissez-faire, legerdemain... and the list just goes on.

After I left the room, I waited for the tertiary students to be released. I was just walking to and fro the cafe, hoping that I wouldn't see my sister walk out. But when the crowd begin to walk out.. ahh my sister was amongst them. Haha.

Then, we went to the coffee shop where all the East Cluster POS members were at. While I was eating, Bevan was taking a video of me. I saw him holding his phone in front of me. But I just thought "Oh. Maybe he's just messaging." So I just ignored him. After that, he took a video of swee min too. Then Joelle and Vanessa started laughing. And swee was like "Ahh! You're taking a video of me?!" Bevan just smiled. When my brain started functioning again, I realised that Bevan was taking a video of me eating just now and so I screamed. Haha.

spelling bee

2006-05-25T14:58:00.000+08:00

I HATE SPELLING BEE!!!!!! Haha. It's so stressful. I think I'm gonna be bald soon because I'm pulling all my hair out. The semi-finals is tomorrow and guess what? I'm only at number 140. God help me!! Haha. Guess i won't be sleeping tonight.. So ciaos.

Woot! The exams are OVER!

2006-05-18T09:41:00.000+08:00

I know, I know. This post should be up like a long time ago. But my comp was down. So yeah. Couldn't. It was my chem paper last Thursday. And was also the LAST DAY OF EXAMS. Woohoo... Haha. URGH this is so irritating because the exclamation mark key is not working. Haha. Well anyways.. I'M FREE. FINALLY.

Every year without fail, on the last day of exams, me, Tara, Kat, Nat and Clarissa would rent some DVDs and we'd watch it at Clarissa's house. And that Thursday was of no exception. Haha.

Firstly, we went to Parkway because Tara had to buy some potted plant for her mum. Then Tara had to rush back to school for a meeting which would last till about 11.30am, which meant that we had quite a lot of time to kill. Clarissa was craving for Mcdonald's Hotcakes. So we waited for a bus to go to Siglap, and only came to realise after about 5 - 10 mins that there was no bus from Parkway to Siglap. How smart were we? Haha. We only had about 15mins left before breakfast time was over. So we took a cab down to Siglap Macs and we reached in time for BREAKFAST. Haha.

I don't know why, but the place was invaded by Chai Chee Secondary's boys. Haha. Ahhhh........ just realised that I haven't stepped in that place for so long. The last time I stepped in there was last year?? Miss that place. Haha.

Anyways.. we decided to go choose the DVDs first without Tara. As usual, we chose horror movies and we knew that Tara didn't really like watching them (but she would still watch it anyway. haha). We picked:

"Hide and Seek"

and

"The Dark".

We wanted to watch "Saw" but it was M18. Then Nat recommended a love story:

"Crazy/Beautiful".

So we rented the 3 DVDs and we went to Cold Storage to get some tidbits.

We didn't really buy "tidbits" actually. Haha. We bought grapes, Campbell soup, apple juice and chips. Sounds more like a feast to me than "tidbits". Haha.

Oh anyway, the movie "The Dark" sucked. The ending was rubbish. Haha. None of us got it.

movies movies movies

2006-05-09T14:48:00.000+08:00

gosh. there are so many nice movies this month. haha.

Inside Man

2006-04-10T14:15:00.000+08:00

Met Ivan and his friend outside Cine today. He was there to watch a movie. So, me, my sis and Adam, decided to go watch the movie together with Ivan and 2 of his friends. The show was AWESOME. Haha. We watched "Inside Man". It's about these 4 robbers robbing a bank. I LOVE the chief robber. Haha. Not because he's cute or anything, but because he's SO NICE. Haha. The stuff he does is just so cute. Gotta watch it yourself and maybe you'll know what I mean. Haha. He doesn't wanna kill anyone at all. He just wants the stuff he came for. SO NICE RIGHT??? Haha. I don't mind watching the show again. AHHHHHH. Haha.

the happiest day of my life

2006-02-17T14:27:00.000+08:00

So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

Acts 16:31

well, 2 days ago(14/02/06),

my mummy has decided to slide back to God.

oh gosh! im so glad.

it's like the happiest day of my life.

10 years ago, she was once His servant.

but she went and hid away.

today,

she is born again.

she is running the race.

she is fighting the good fight of faith.

every family has her own problems.

but thank God for these problems.

cause without them,

my mummy wouldn't have came back to Christ.

without them,

we wouldn't know where our family stands.

flashes of our past races through my mind

the happiness we had was so evident on our faces

the joy of the Lord, it was our strength

it still is and always will be

only two are left standing

and now one more added unto Your kingdom

i want to be Gideon's 300

i want to tell Him that i have fought the good fight

i have finished the race

i have kept the faith

let me be that little girl You want me to be

to be the head and not the tail

above and not beneath

let me carry Your cross daily

he who endures to the end shall be saved

i want to deny me

a vegetarian?

confusion

2006-01-08T15:13:00.000+08:00

what can i say?
what should i do?
how should i feel?

mixed emotions..
filling up my brain.
hatred, pity, denial, objection.

should i forgive you?
should i hate you?
should i cry?
or should i hold my tears back?

i'm so CONFUSED!

what is it?

2006-01-08T07:33:00.000+08:00

love. is it all that special?
is it worth for some to die?
to feel the pain for someone else,
to share the sorrows within themselves.

does it feel worthwhile?

happiness, pleasure, bliss, delight
all will start to be in sight.

but then, the storm will soon begin,
everything then becomes a frown.

the smile on your face
where is it?
the joy in your heart
where to find?

then, jealousy, hatred, anger and rage
all just seem to come somehow.

will you find the one you truely love?
or do you think that it's just a fairytale?

is it friendship love?
or something more?

ask yourself...

a brand new beginning

2006-01-02T00:30:00.000+08:00

a brand new year, a brand new beginning.. 2006. i know it'll be a great year, by faith...yup! when you run, RUN! don't look back & just keep on running foward! looking back will hinder you from the purpose god has for you!

but then sometimes, it seems so easy to say "let bygones be bygones".. but can we actually let everything go? sometimes the hurt is so bad that it has left a scar in us, and you wonder how to remove it..

"forgive and forget".. it's such a common phrase. but is everyone doing it? although most of us forgive, but we just can't seem to forget. why..? because all those bad memories you had just keeps on flashing in your mind..

it's 2006?

2006-01-01T19:00:00.000+08:00

say goodbye to 2005! such a crappy year. everything doesnt even feel like anything. chinese new year didnt felt like chinese new year. my birthday didnt felt like my birthday. even christmas. and 2 hrs ago.. it didnt felt like it was the end of 2005. it was such a lousy year. everything was just wrong. almost everyone felt that way too..!

but then.. now it's............2006!!! yippie! hope this will be a great year for everyone.
anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! just some messages to my darlings:

to TARA..
hey girl, thanks for all the things you've done for me, the joy you've brought into my life.
thanks for spending time to help us organise those little meet-ups.
really.. THANK YOU!
haha..
thanks for the times, where we would sit down and talk..
remember everytime when i get pissed off or angry?
guess what you'll do..
you'll just laugh at me because you think it's really funny when i get angry. haha
i could just go on forever.. about the both of us..
but i just wanna thank you for all the great times we spent together

p.s. dont get angry with me for placing your face on my blog.. haha. it's an honour.

and yeah.. it's just more than words can say or express..
you know what!?!
I LOVE YOU!!
MUACKS!
oh yes.. and although we wont be in the same class next year..
just dont forget that i'll be there for you. aiight??
c ya in school sister.
love ya.
i'll miss you!

to EVERYONE WHO "KNOWS" ME OUT THERE..
just wanna thank you guys for everything that you've placed in my life.
fond memories, joy, laughter.. just EVERYTHING!
whether small or big..
because without you guys, my life wouldnt be the same.
so yup, just wanna thank you guys again..
and wish all of you....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

toodles!

2005-12-30T04:38:00.000+08:00

some freak hacked my hotmail account!!! IRRITATING.. but im kinda happy too. haha. i know.. im weird. irritated because i dont like people hacking into others account.. they've just got no life! to those hackers out there.. GET A LIFE! haha. happy because i can finally change my stupid and cheesy email add. sounds so ewwww.. i've been wanting to get rid of it. thanks hacker. haha.

i miss you

2005-12-21T18:20:00.000+08:00

remember the times we used to talk on the phone for long long hours?
remember the times we used to talk like we were friends forever?
remember the times we used to hang out so often?
remember the times we used to compete with each other?

do you even remember how we came about knowing each other?
do you even remember why you called me everyday?
do you even remember what embarressments we went through together?
do you even remember how i comforted you?

all these seems to fade away..

why?

because i left you?
or because you left me?

because you asked me that question?
or because i didn't give you an answer?
after that night, we stopped doing the things we used to do.
you asked me why i was avoiding you.
well.. i wasn't.
but you were..

you wrote me a testi.
but i wished you didn't.
because after that testi..
it seemed like we were worlds apart.

i know this has happened a long long time ago..
but then..
i really miss the times that i've spent with you.

my pillar of strength

2005-12-20T18:10:00.000+08:00

look at the mess you got yourself into,
how am i supposed to forgive you?
everyone is talking about you.
but i choose not to listen.
i shut my ears.
thinking it's all just a lie.
but somehow,
i'm caught in the middle.
whom to believe?
i really don't know.
you?
..or them?

i lie on my bed every night,
thinking..
about you..
and about her.
soon, my pillow gets wet..
my tears start to flow.
pictures of us,
starts to fade away... ...

i can't help
but doubt you.
i'm sorry,
but i've lost that trust in you..
how am i to pretend like nothing's happened?
how am i to pretend like nothing's wrong?
my life feels like it's falling apart..
but thank God..
i found my pillar of strength.
and that's Him.
my God, my Abba Father.

rain down

2005-11-17T08:20:00.000+08:00

My prayer is still the same
My heart is calling out your name

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again

I'm longing just to see
Your power and Your majesty

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in your embrace

Sweet anointing
Wash me over
Sweet anointing
Wash me over

weird tummy.

2005-11-07T17:28:00.000+08:00

do you have a tummy that can't take milk and fizzy drinks? well i do..! haha. it's true! and what happens when i do take them? diarrhoea!! haha. and sometimes to the extent where i throw up. i know.. i know.. it's really funny to talk about this. haha.. but it hurts badly. seriously. for fizzy drinks.. it's a good thing. because of me not being able to take fizzy drinks, now i dont like fizzy drinks anymore. and as you know.. fizzy drinks are bad for your health. haha. i only know one thing which coke is good for.. .. .. CLEANING TOILET BOWLS! haha. TRY IT. pour a can of coke into the side of toilet bowl and flush.. you'll see a cleaner toilet bowl. haha.

taking it all in.

2005-10-15T14:59:00.000+08:00

stress, sicknesses, tiredness.. everything! just piling up on me. im just taking it all in. i was on the verge of breaking down. but i just took it all in. the feeling of being sick, stressed and tired altogether was really horrible. i just slept through most of the time of the days of my examinations because i was really sick and i really couldnt take it anymore but to give in to my flesh. i knew i had to study. but my eyes just shut. exams lasted for 2 weeks. on the first week, i was mugging like crazy but on the second week, i was worned out. i just grew sicker, more tired and more stressed. the house i once felt comfortable in, is now somewhere i wouldnt wanna be in. why? because this house had all the thoughts of studying, getting sick and feeling sleepy. i dont know why. but i just felt so uncomfortable being at home.

but now, exam's over!!! and im free! i can get all my sleep back! right now, everything i've written up there can be forgotten. i'll just cast all those thoughts away and live my care-free life.

thank god for the wisdom and strength during this whole period of time. really! thanks!

Solitude

2005-10-06T02:54:00.000+08:00

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all -
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

*Ella Wheeler Wilcox*

this was the unseen poem i had for my literature exam today. meaningful huh. haha. most of us did this one. it was easier to relate to.

phew...! this is the first time i ever wrote SO MUCH for my lit exam. haha. i wrote till my hands ached. and.. poor trees.. i crushed so many papers. haha. that was because the first few minutes i didnt know what to write. so i had to scribble something on the paper to get my juice flowing. haha. after that, everything i had in my mind just started to flow so smoothly onto the paper. and that caused my hand and my lil fingers to ache. so i had to stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch. haha. that's about it. gotta start mugging now.

where are you?

2005-09-26T13:06:00.000+08:00

sometimes when you get into a really bad situation.. you will ask questions like..

"God, where were You when i needed You the most?"
"why have You forsaken me?"
"why aren't You helping me to get out of this situation?"
"You said You love me.. so why aren't You here to help me now?"

sometimes the situation is so bad that these questions just appear in your minds..

but then again, whatever situation you are in, it is just a test from God! a test on how you handle that situation. a test on how much you trust in God to bring you out of that situation..

don't be afraid of what situation God has put you in. because.. whatever situation he puts you in, he can take you out of that situation as well..

im walking on a new road.

2005-09-10T08:00:00.000+08:00

sailing last wednesday was so scary... the wind was quite strong. so we had to pair up with someone else. altogether, we capsized 5 times and i got flung out of the boat twice! haha. uprighting the boat 6 times climbing back onto the boat countless times is not something fun.. do you know how heavy the boat is!!! haha... "uprighting 6 times? i thought you only capsized 5 times?"you may ask.. well... the first time we capsized, we uprighted the boat and before we could get on the boat, it capsized again! URGH! it almost killed us!

then on friday we had sailing again.. this time it was totally different compared to wednesday. the wind was so light.. so our coach told us to stand on our boats to sail.. cos this will keep the boat flat.. then we went back to shore to have lunch and after that, our coach said that since there is no wind, we shall go for "a walk"... so we went for a walk from our sailing centre [National Sailing Centre (NSC)] all the way to the mcdonalds after my house.. we didnt know how far we were walking.. all we knew was that it was FAR!! haha.. wanna know the reason why we were walking to mcdonalds? well... it was all just for the 50 cent ice cream.. but our main purpose of walking there was to workout.. and so, after eating the ice cream and all, we walked all the way back from mcdonalds to NSC.. at first our coach told us that altogether, we walked for about 16km. but she wasnt that sure.. so she said that she was gonna help us check it out.. so after unrigging the boat, she came to tell us that we walked for 23KM!!! it took us 3 hours in total.. we were all so proud of ourselves.. haha. my coach said that, for that, she is going to print us a certificate for walking 23KM!! haha. cool huh...? haha..

this whole week has been so tiring for me.. but it's worth it because it was all for the purpose of God... well.. just take a look at my schedule:

monday: 6.30pm-1.30am drama practice (by the time i reach home it's already 2am)
tuesday: 1.30pm-4pm school, 6.30pm-1am drama practice (reach home at 2am)
wednesday: 9.30am-5pm sailing, 7pm-1am drama practice (reach home at 2am)
thursday: 2pm-7pm drama performance (evangelistic meeting)
friday: 9.30am-4pm sailing, 7.30pm cell group meeting
saturday: I'M FREE!!! the only day!!! but i gotta do a whole pile of homework
sunday: church & zone game
