my dad doesnt say it. my dad doesnt brag abt it.
but i know...
my dad loves me the most!

my mum, i'm 100% sure, she loves me too!

i am a princess.
a little princess in their eyes

i'm so happy and blessed abt it, that i'm tearing.

2008-02-29T11:56:00.002+08:00

i have 101 reasons not to...
but i just have 1 reason to...
so y is that single reason still dominating?
maybe its true when pple say, its blind...

well, i lost "it". i lost "it" yet again.
i tried to keep it under control. i tried to not think abt it. i tried, but all it takes is a slight trigger point n all my effort goes into vain.
=(

i've convinced by my 101 reasons, but still... *sigh to myself

2007-12-13T00:59:00.001+08:00

somethings ain't as simple as i thot it was...
somethings does not necessary be how it appear to be...

2007-12-06T22:33:00.000+08:00

its all about planning, having foresight and thinking ahead...
and then working towards the goal...
despite all challenges, changes, discouragement, obstacles along e way...

that lead to success!

but 1st, whats ur definition of sucess?
what do u foresee and hope to achieve?
what are u macro plans?
whats ur ultimate goal in life?

before u can achieve anything, u need to know what u want to achieve...

e most important and difficult step to make towards success is...
taking the very 1st "step"...
this step need not b a physical/visible action, but something deep within...
the very 1st step of faith! *pun intended. =p

2007-12-02T19:42:00.000+08:00

everyone once in a while i embark on a new n exciting project...
well, each of these projects will be able to keep me looking forward and anxious over it...

i've decided to embark on a new project, as of today...
i hope it will take off...
i hope it will b a success... with the final "product" itself, as well as e reaction...
=)

wish me luck!
wait! but then again, i don't believe in luck... i believe in my own capability and will power! =p

2007-12-01T23:43:00.000+08:00

given a choice, which role would u chose to play based on ur status?
-a guy's assistant? or a driver?

just when i thot no one did, someone did, in fact 2.
its obvious enough, but...

i hope, i wish, i pray that THAT day will come soon... n most importantly even come...

2007-11-28T14:37:00.000+08:00

taking an evening paper, it e worst time of the day to take a paper...
because, waiting for the time to come... is a torture...
thats exactly what i'm going thr now...

if only the time to 5pm will speed up... but the time from 5-7pm will slow down...
but too often, its e other way around...
its all abt perceptions...
well, but, unless, provided, u have absolutely no idea how to do the paper, then maybe the 2hrs will be long enough for u to just stare at it...n panick

i'm just hoping my paper will be "fun", but not too "fun fun fun"!
its serene tan and her definitation of "fun"

2007-11-20T20:37:00.000+08:00

just when i was just randomly pondering over it...
coincidently, i got a gentle reminded from a friend of mine...
she seems to just know me even without me saying anything... sometimes e things she says is like so true n appropriate... coincidental? well, i believe that its more than that...

well this gentle reminder, my rational mind agrees, but my heart... feels otherwise... hmmm...

anyway today... hmmm...

2007-11-19T21:50:00.000+08:00

saw my phone bill...
its record breaking...
consistency with my current lifestyle...

e "distance"
oh well! oh well!

2007-11-19T00:41:00.001+08:00

its has been a rollar coast ride for the past few days, but i'm so glad the waters are much calmer now. =p

AND.
today's MY a special day.
=)

2007-11-18T00:19:00.001+08:00

its been a long time since i last watched a movie...
its been a long time since i last went shopping...
its been a long time since i last bought something for myself...
its been a long time since i last had a relaxing day out...

oh man! what kind of a life do i have?
a typical nus undergrad student life...
esp during this time of the semester...
what to do???

2007-11-14T23:08:00.000+08:00

when and how do u know if someone is just teasing u n ain't really meaning what they say to u?
its just suppose to be a casual joke... but sometimes, how not to think more about it?

maybe i think too much...
maybe i'm oversensitive...

maybe its just being said at e wrong moment... when everything triggles the mood...

2007-11-13T22:41:00.000+08:00

expectation... its all about expectation...

setting it too high has its pros & cons
setting it too low, has its pros & cons too

2007-11-12T00:28:00.000+08:00

all i can do, is to sit n look

wondering how things r going to be like in the future, in e near future...

many things have changed, but i'm still quite sure that there's sth that havent, on my side... how abt ur side?

i miss those times, yet i'm glad that i even had those times...
i look forward to the future. my ideal future...

2007-11-11T01:05:00.000+08:00

we've all grown up!

today went for wesley 21st bday... although only half e class is left in spore... but its always great to be gathered together with my acjc peers. we rox!

today made me really realized... we've all grown up... some guys came with their other half... those guys who used to "hate" gers n say funny things abt gers... pple came driving in their cars... even e subjects changed slightly, just slightly...

e guy who i personally think have changed, or rather matured, e most since jc days were nor other than e bday boy himself... a fine young man he is now... well, no more biased scolding n critizism from him too. *hehe

we've all grown up... each of us in our respective uni... some in nus... some others in ntu... and some some other in smu... or sim... or in aussie uni... we've doing good... to think that we had like straight Fs for our prelims then... a cause for concern?

we've all grown up... we've entered this new, ok! maybe not so new phrase of like... uni-life... even at a party, we hear hardcore drinker n clubbers saying they can't drink, not even a glass of wine as they need to rush home to rush assignments, to study for e upcoming exams... i do not recall such a concern or comment by these guys back then, even if it was like just merely a few days before the actually A level exams then... everyone was still so happy-go-lucky, like as if nth else mattered esp to chill n have fun! they used to say then that jc life is e toughest, while e tough part abt uni is about being able to get into a decent uni, once in, everything will be good... well, it doesnt seem too true huh... it seems we're all more stressed up n occupied by uni work now, then ever!

we've all grown up... but i guess no matter which stage of life we've entered, lucky we'll all be entering in together... *hehe. so no one is alone... oh man! this is so cheesey!

2007-11-09T02:04:00.000+08:00

today, or rather yesterday, a good day!
it's a public holiday. although whether its a public holiday or not, its my free day on thurs!

went out for lunch with dad mum sis. had yummy tim sum at chinatown. its amazing how the night before i was just thinking to myself that i wanted to have a hearty meal, tim sum would b good. and tada, i actually got to eat just that.

after a hearty n enjoyable tim sum meal, we headed back. slpt!

apparently, before i even woke up in e morning, mum dad went out n came back. they went out to settle some stuff, and more importantly, bought 3 wonderful things for us, to "surprise" us. haha

1. d24 durian cake!
2. mango!
3. haagen dazs ice cream!

3 of my love! my parents loves me the most. =)

well, not forgetting, after lunch, we went to lee chee guan to buy ba kwa. mum bought half kg of my ever favourite ba kwa! told mum 300g enough, but i guess she was feeling generous to get more instead. well, i'm fussy, i only eat lee chee guan ba kwa. trust me, its e best!

so since we have so much rich food during e day, mum prepared porriage n sesame sause chicken for dinner. my love too! well, i meant the sesame sauce chicken. not so much the porriage. i prefer rice though.

after dinner, e whole family sat down in e hall to watch the 7pm show together. had fun, esp during the commercial things when i would mute e tv. instead of having some quietness so that i can at least try to b hardworking n read my notes, it ended up being more distracting with the rest of them talking away... despite me keep going "shhh!". i bet they did it on purpose to spike me! hmph! hehe.

an enjoyable public holiday.
i'm a happy ger!
=)

eating tim-tam chocolate biscuit in singapore is different from that in nz...

is it e chocolate itself?
is it e temperature of e environment?
is it the surrounding?
is it my mood?
or is it just everything else?

i can remember clearly, a packet of tim-tam cost appro. NZ$2. being displayed on the huge supermarket shelf, with so many different variety n flavour. how when i use my fingers to take a piece, e chocolates doesn't dirt my hands. yet taking every bite, e chocolate just melts in my mouth naturally. every bite sending chills down my back, e sense of satisfaction, e sense of "i'm on cloud heaven". this is life! this is my pampering life.

on the other hand, back in singapore, a packet of tim-tam cost appro. S$3.50. displayed on a small congested shelf in e supermarket, with only 2 variety to chose from. as i used my bare hands to pick up a piece, e chocolate almost immediately melt on my fingers, dirtying it. thus having to put e remaining packet in e fridge. after a while, e chocolate just get too hard, it doesn't melt in my mouth anymore. e texture of e chocolate seems so dry n 'fake'. no more of that sense of satisfaction. every bite make me not like this piece of tim-tam n making me miss my days in nz more n more.

2007-10-12T15:09:00.000+08:00

each time i'm upset, bored, un-motivated, i will think of my days in nz...
think of my international friends...
think of e fun & happiness i had there...
think of e crazy things i did...
think of how i really let go of myself...
think of e landscape, e beauty, e amazement nz has to offer...

and now i'm imagining how pretty otago is right now... its spring time!

it was pretty in end of summer...
it made me go 'wow!' everyday during autumn...
it made me so excited at the beginning of winter...

i miss my nz sep days sooooooooo much...
nth is ever gonna replace it...

well, my friend reminded me, at least i have these wondering memories with me... =p

2007-10-02T18:35:00.000+08:00

after a long long while, i'm deciding to post a post...

thinking back of the past 3 months back in singapore from my sep, my perception of life, my expectation, my emotions have changed...

i'm really thanksful for the precious 4.5mths of my sep experience... to the land that is known to have the happinest people... the new zealanders... i just have to agree strongly that thats life in nz... so happy, so peaceful, so enjoyable, so enriching, so encouraging, so meaningful, so great, so memoriable... certain emotions and experience that is just lacking being back in singapore.

well, half a sem as a year 3 student have passed... well, tough, challenging, stressful, boring, not motivating...

it seems like turning 21, i've step into a new phrase of my life... to start to think beyond what i have and what i am at present moment... to looking n think further... to prepare... to discover... not possible to be as naive and simple minded as before anymore...

welcome to my new stage of life!
guess life will never be the same as before again..

2006-10-15T22:13:00.000+08:00

Lord, I offer my Life

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Chorus:
Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

i always love the matching-in part...
esp this year, extra special... cosss my friend is in the GOH Commendor contigent!
He's in his Number 1 & Red cap...
i'm so very proud of him...
i've always been having a liking for Number1 & GOH (guard of honours)... *haha

and as always, i love it when the 5 planes, F16, spilt up in a nice formation...
i can hear it from my house too!
and i love all e other planes... jetplanes, fighting planes etc...

but, not so much airplanes! so i dun need to work at e airport... *internal joke... hehe...

~~~

spring cleaned and moved into my new pgp room today!!!

e window is half e size of my previous room... i dun like it!

dad was mentioning, how come new room, still look e same?
but of course mah... same few things... same 'designer'...
unless anyone is willing to give me new decor and things to put ard in my room...
*i will greatly appreciate tat... *hehe...

~~~

some random though & happening... *in e mood to blog today!

Festival of Praise on sat...
We, (mel, robbie, oliver, myself) left oweek earlier to head to indoor stadium...
met up with jen, weiqi, shanice...
as usual, getting there, getting in, finding a seat is stressful...
year after year pre-FOP is stressful for me...

but ultimately, its all worth it...

the CCC band was super rock! i didnt know all except 1 of e songs... but at least their songs are easy to catch and sing!

Don Moen, e moment we (jen & shanice) saw him... our same reaction... 'wow! he so old liao... white hair'... hehe... its been many years since i last saw him in spore...
i enjoyed having him lead a time of worship... =)

sermon... wow! his accent is super hard to catch & understand...

then we walked to Geylang for supper.... yum yum..
by tat time, i was super high! haha...

~~~

sun... wow! wat a day! *enough said

~~~

arts o week been great...

i'm from the House of Rolling...
We're more than a House. We're a FAMILY...

and from the group of ROCKSTAR...

made many new friends!

with blueblacks on my arms... becos of some stupid tortue games... e guys really dun give face/chance... hmph!

~~~

my modules CORS is screwed now...

*keeping my fingers crossed

~~~

Singtel job! with shanice...
counting of Hi!Cards...

we're counted a total of 70,000+42,000 Hi!Cards!

~~~

my year 2 starting soon soon!

2006-08-03T23:20:00.000+08:00

this post is specially dedicated to shanice... *as requested by her

as of today, its our 24th time meeting each other, since our holidays started... oh my! she actually counted and kept a recorded...

~~~

i spend today thinking abt a lot of things... clearing up most of the unfinished business... settling all the hanging in mid air issues... tying up the loose ends... prioritising & making decision tat i have been having to make... 'accepting' some, 'rejecting' the others...

~~~

and i predict, by dedicating to tat ger, pc will get jealous and demand for one too...

so pc, this post is dedicated to you too!

many times liao... when she's free, i'm busy busy... when i'm free, she's busy busy...

2006-07-31T22:36:00.000+08:00

life is full of decision making...

as a friend said, i've reached e 3rd stage of my life... tats when lots of decision, big & small, will start coming my way...

decision made... and i will have to bear watever consequence to my decision myself...

as much as other can say & air their opinions, ultimately, e decision lies in my own hands...
no force, no influence, no on behalf thingie...

my to-action, to-settle, to-decide list is scarey...

2006-07-14T23:53:00.000+08:00

i havent been feeling like blogging... so i'm not... *simple as tat...

or rather, i havent been feeling like publishing my entries... i do have many just 'saved as draft' entries in my blogspot account though...

~~~

i'm not here to please anyone... but yet most of us still put on a front... put on a mask... after being so used to 'hidding' behind tat mask, its a challenge to do w/o it...

things happen when u least expect it to happen... there are just too many things, in fact most things, tat are just way beyond our control...

if no one's going to do it for u, then do it yourself!

take one step at a time... dun think too much... as nike motto go, 'Just do it!'

yea! so JUST DO IT!

2006-07-07T11:38:00.000+08:00

2006-07-05T22:42:00.000+08:00

i'm screwed!
screwed with my next sem modules...

last sem, i took e risk by taking only 1 of my econs major module... i chose to 'sacrifice' my ec modules for mkt & ssb, so tat i can take with my friends... *no regrets though... which means i have to take at least 3 this sem... *thinking long term, so tat i can graduate...
but but but... looks like i only can take 2 major modules this sem...

reason being, i havent taken ec2101... and until just tat i realise tat its a pre-req for most of e subsequent ec major modules... i'm surprised... 2101 must be really impt! so i'm stuck now... until i've fulfiled tat modules, i cant do e others...

which means, i'll only be taking 2 ec modules next sem...
which means, i'm going to have a challenging subsequent sems ahead... cummulative from last sem and upcoming sem...

which means, another headache... i need to find 2 more modules... seems simple, but no, its not...

chosing modules... coordinating timetable... CORS bidding!!!
its e time of e year, once again...
*stress *hectic

but on e brighter note...
its a challenge!
i will sort these out and figure my way thr'
i shld have enough time
i will unscrew all these

its all part of being a student of NUS

earlier, met mel to get our jerseys... like finally... e store uncle is damn one-kind... he kept insisting tat L-size is too big, so shld get M... i'm like, hello, u havent seen my friend before, how would u know... i still trust my own judgement... but u know y he kept insisting, i found out, cos he doesnt have anymore L-size... wah! wat a way to do salestalk...
then met robbie, after his work, for dinner... he ends work at 1800h... so at 1758h, e playful me smsed him military style tat his reporting time is 1830h, shld he b late, dinner on him... reporting venus... there'll b no allowance or excuses... guess wat time he actually reached... 1827h... panting... haha...
apparently, at e point of time we 1st smsed him, he was still arguing with his boss... e sms interrupted e 'conversation'...
good day... although i started e morning quite badly...

i've been getting this strong urge to password protect my blog... i dunno y too!

2006-07-03T23:22:00.000+08:00

there's so many things i wanna share abt my trip...
but.... too many until i dunno where to start and how to say... =p

basically, its great! thanks God for everything =)

i've been back for slightly more than 24hours after 8days in COSi... i experienced such a great and overwhelming difference...
the difference between the life in singapore and the life in cambodia...

in singapore, we are living in such a fast-paced society, a rat-race... with so much technology... pple having to rush here and there... stress level super high... tech makes communication w/o accurate emotions... pple have their own way of expressing their concern and love and existance...

in cambodia, specifically COSi... life is such a routine and smooth-sailing... hardly any technology and 'distraction' from elsewhere... one seem to be so close to nature... e innocence of e children... their ability to detect unspoken mood changes and thots... the full of compression them when they ask abt u... when e smaller ones purposely come from behind to give u a hug... or some others tap ur back and next moment when u turn, u see them running away (aka they wanna play catching)... how they enjoy playing and tie-ing up ur hair... surprising u by giving u flowers they just plucked from their garden...and trying to grab ur attention...

to me, e kids gave me this opporunity to find out for myself tat its all these little little gestures, thots and things tat matter e most to me... there's just so many things tat singaporean, like me, often take for granted w/o even realising...

in e means of 'giving' to the kids all tat i have for them, i believe i have received and learnt so much more...

these 8days, i also experienced and 'seen' for myself God's work, His presense and how real He is... He answered prayers... He make things possible the way they are for His purpose... He is always around...

this is my 3rd trip... every trip is different in its own way...

i promise e kids that i'll be back next year... tats my promise to them...
i know they're looking forward... so am i...

shopping in cambodia is super fun... esp at Russian Market... bargining and cutting prices can b so crazy... its e thrill of it...

brought the kids to the amusement park on fri... guess wat, we witnessed something unusual... there was a mini-sand storm... like a mini hurricane... no joke... even the stall holders were stocked... roof collapsed... ferris wheel fell... e kids were like "sister! scared!"... i thot to myself tat i shld be more scared than them... haha...
but after this short experience, we continued... we had so much fun...

my HomeMaking session for the younger kids was a great success... the kids were way more coorperative, obedient, excited and participative than i thot during my preparation prior to e trip... during our daily debrief, pk will ask if i'm pleased with e outcome of e day... of course, very pleased!

fellowship time was great...
within my team... we bonded well together... getting to know each other so much more...
and with the kids... both younger and older ones... esp from e 'big boys', we discovered so much from them... abt their real life, the issue they face, rgd e management of cosi etc...
specifically 2 'big boys', ya & somann, never fail to make me laugh and entertained with their cheeky-ness and 'lame-ness'... small rathan who's so often seen at our door looking into our house, asking for food... sreychet, mati, povpoung- my 3 little princess... hannan- my precious... neng- e playful boy... etc

~~~

this morning, just as i just woke up, i received a pleasure surprise! =)

just nice, my chance to head down to milleum walk to witness my sec sch PL 90 hours music maranthon... going into e guiness books of records...

when i reached, it was like 10mins before the 90 hours mark...

i met so many of my teachers, teachers who have made a difference in my life... they're still e same... sang along with them a few of e annual theme songs, specifically 'Dare to Run' & 'Go Light the World'... 'To God Be the Glory'... and of course, not forgetting my pl school song which i sang for 10 years!

so many memories were brought back...
and it dawned on me, y didnt i think of organising a class gathering...

all these are in celebration of PL 90th Anniversary...

i remember for 80th Ann, we had a concert at Kallang... i was pri4 then... was in e main cast... one night i was Jack, one night i was Jill... yea! Jacks needs to roll down the hill... no joke! haha...

those were e days...

then it was our food & retail therapy

baker-inz black forest cake is e best... their rose tea is refreshing too!

i saw this very cool Guess Collection watch! its nice!!!! i like it!
then i saw this very unique black and white specs! its nice!!!! i like it too!
it suits nicely... but of course, i chose them... =p i just cant take my mind off them... *haha

i enjoy ur company...
ur little little pleasant gestures...

Jesus- The Same Yesterday, Today and Forever

2006-06-22T11:30:00.000+08:00

FEVER!!!

when i woke up earlier yesterday, my throat hurt! to e extent tat i dun wan to swallow anything... it hurts... but i thot sorethroat only! no big deal!

met michelle for lunch at ps pastamania... eeee, tat place.... bet tat Ben is a soccer fan... make his staff wear jersey... *yea! i'm biased towards e top management of Pastamania... LAF pple will understand y... anyway caught up with her... discovered an exciting news abt vivien... so proud of her... i'm going to support her! felice coming back 26june-3july, but e dates clashes with my cambodia trip... so left with 3rd only... hopefully i will at least get to meet her... i miss her so much...

then a quick errand to staff serice at bugis to return my timesheet... May, so cute, came out and tok and tok and tok to me... telling me how dangerous cambodia is, how come my mum allow me to go blah blah blah... a nice lady to tok to though... known to everyone as very bubbly and gan-kiong... tats my beloved job consultant for u...

then met up with shanice and pc for some window shopping and took lots of photos... i just kept clicking and clicking her camera until "memory full".... u need skill to reach tat point... haha... as of today, shanice is my "oldest" friend & pc is my "bestest" friend... *puns intended... we go a long way back...

during these period of time, i was feeling more & more uncomfortable... spoke less and less... to e point i was shivering just walking along marine square shopping center...

but hack! i still made my way down... by tat time, my fever came! hehe... wah! he bought cheng teng for me... cold, yet so refreshing... and sour sour mango sago... then headed to e chinese medical store to get bitter drink... for e sake of my upcoming trip, i need to get well soon... so i force e whole yucky bottle of drink down my throat... i almost vomitted... then to e park and chilled on e swing... not many stars though... but still nice, relaxing n i didnt have much strength to even swing myself high enough... by tat time, i really going to "faint" liao... so decided to just take a taxi home... while he has to book in again... flagging e taxi indeed was 'exciting'... haha... and guess wat, before i left, i got a lovely surprise! =)

in e dark taxi, i carefully unwrapped the so nicely wrapped gift... tada! presenting... my 1st precious moments figurine!!! =)

its a little girl bending down along a sandy beach spelling the word "JESUS"...

i love it! so sweet hor... i mean both e figurine and him... hehe... =)

apparently, he told me, he took 3 days to chose... so much for always saying i'm e indecisive one... wahahaha... but of course, i appreciate it... =p... and this is his 2nd choice... his favourite was out-of-stock... now, i'm curious to find out wat were his other choices...

well, i often like to enter the precious moment store and slowly admire all the figurines on e shelves... *enough to make me smile... each figurine has a character of its own... e names to each of them are so meaningful and approperate... i like them all...

i thot to myself, i want a collection of my own too...

2006-06-20T22:07:00.000+08:00

i'm back! back from MALACCA, M'sia!

spent 4 days 3 nights at BaBa House...

my "past"... my "hometown"

i'm a perankan!

so how was my trip?
i'm glad i'm a singaporean & live in singapore
*haha...

well, i had a good time with dad, mum, sis, steve & mama =)

We were there on free & easy... not much pre-trip preparation... so we just found our way around e place... reading pamplets & maps & asking ard

despite so, i've seen many parts of malacca & learnt lotz! their history, lifestyle etc

i tasted e most traditional and yummy food!

like chendol, chicken rice ball (fishball look-a-like), nonya dishes, wantan mee, kueh, different types of durian, roti canal.........

Shopping was easy on e pocket... things seem to be 'half-priced'!

Msia police is doing a good job, cause i couldnt find a place tat sells 'copied' vcds *hehe
i'm slowly learning to understand the Malay language!

i watched my 1st completed world cup live match at a roadside pub *nice though... and half of e so-exciting brazil-australia match due to some circumstances =(
While watching, i took my 1st try at guiness beer *neh, i dun like it!

Bought so much gula melaka sugar! i intend to attempt to make chendol soon.

so presenting... MALACCA... =)

2006-06-16T18:30:00.000+08:00

i've been running errands e past few days- tues, wed, thur, today- in e mids of my other activities
mainly is to settle my mission trip stuff, e 'gift', got my 'new look', bought for my mum a chinese-english bible

no doubt, e 'shopping list' was more or less listed, but wanting to get e specific stuff seems to be such a challenge...

*i do like challenge though, at times

its like, just when u want to get sth, u just cant find it... so u keep walking here there everywhere in search... but on other times, u keep bumping into it...

then things happen tat just seem to go against u...

for eg, i got a vcd for e kids... came home to see wats in it... and i have to be tat lucky one to grab onto e one in a million faulty disc...

another eg, just when u actually only need to use 3/4 sheets of e already quite expensive transfer paper, i end up using all 4 sheets... when u actually need one top, i end up travelling down to get another one...

wah! wat an advanture!

but of course, e "i'm not giving up" me, didnt fall into any of these 'failure'... *hehe... and of course i'm proud of myself... i got them all eventually. ok! maybe not all, but most... *good enough...

at e end of e day, when all these "misfortunes" are overcomed by myself... e sense of satisfaction is so so so great & rewarding... =)

after looking for mum's bible only to find out tat it has been out-of-stock in e many christian store i went... in e end i bought e bible at a price $18 cheapers... i'm not kidding... i asked e sales lady myself, y there is such a huge price different, she doesnt know too! *blessing in disguise

after slowly dealing with e 'mistakes'... quite a headache though... something tat i initially thought was so easy to do, but i was totally wrong, instead i spend quite a long time on it... but now i'm a pro at it! e final product is so nice!!! i love it!!! so proud of it... everything else was worth it! and opps! i forgot to take a photo of it... haizzz... but i still have e "rejected" version with me *hehe...

maybe only when i'm this free, tat i bother & have e time, tat such things will happened... *hehe

well, all these caught me thinking...
even if one dun succeed on his 1st try, he shldnt give up or be dishearten... alright at times i was dishearten myself...
but to continue being hopeful and strive for what he wants...
even if one dun succeed on his 2nd, 3rd, 4th...times... still dun give up... who knows, e 5th time may be e success time... wont it be such a waste if one just give up at this 4th chance? esp after putting in so much?

yea! i know, all these are easier said than done!
*i agree too... =p

*y do i like to contridict myself? oh well..

~~~

yesterday went pasir ris park cycling with shanice, while pc was blading...

didnt like e bicycle... i wont go to tat store again... e uncle there so stingy too!
so pple, dun go to e bicycle kiosk at pasir ris park carpark D...

despite e bicycle problem... e weather was good... had a fun time cycling although slower than usual.. have to take care of tat gal... she fell down twice...

then headed home, no, to junction8 1st... yes, to exchange e vcd... i walked e WHOLE shopping mall while waiting for mum to finish work for dinner...

~~~

wed, pc came to my house...

a while later, shanice came... to eat too!
we were mad... drinking barlieys when e sun is still shinning bright

then to marine south for steamboat bbq with family...
wah! e food so so so salty... and so so so so so much msg!!!
e live prawns were e best... cos no prior seasoning... and super fresh...
but still, i enjoyed e cooking part e best...

~~~

such a long post again

2006-06-13T23:33:00.000+08:00

while eating mangosteen with my family...
time check- korea vs togo match time!!! however its already way past half-time...

with a hopeful heart, i turned on my tv...
earlier today i tuned my tv to search for msia channel TV1...

woohoo! i get to watch world cup!!! and its rather clear, as in e signal...

soon after... GOAL!!!!!! i saw korea goal... *scream!
my 1st goal watched this world cup season... yea, i know i'm lagging...

in e mean time, steve and sis making barliey with milk... before i even drank, i'm already high...
yummy... my 1st barliey with milk is so yummy... dad asked me wat it taste like... i answer... hmmm... it taste like milk... wahahahaha...
sis gave me another glass to taste.... i took a slip... i got a shock... taste like orange, yet taste like its much more concentrated of barliey... i dunno???

thanks to steve, he took his australia chips and a huge huge bunny chocolate... as all of us sat in front of e tv watching e match...

*so exciting...
*nice feeling...

*my 1st experience watching world cup germany 2006 =)

2006-06-12T22:23:00.000+08:00

i didnt know just wanting to get a soccer jersey can take up quite a bit of time and consideration and analysis... *hehe

about more than a week ago, in e newest adidas store in singapore, out of e blue, me and my crazy idea of "lets make a soccer jersey... very easy! just decide on a colour & brand... then iron-on our names and numbers! tada! its done!"- world cup fever!

surprisingly, wow! e others were onz for my crazy idea too... haha...

so our world cup conversation started...

but up till now, we havent really settled on it... despite making a intensional trip to queensway shopping center... *haha.. but still a worthwhile one...

guo an... e world cup "expert" in his own way... was teaching and telling us stuff... wat has been happening... which team possibly will make it... and y... e team players... black horse... their tactics... blah blah blah...

indeed it has been an eye-opener for me... i learn something new everyday! in fact a lot... *i like intellectual topics...

now world cup isnt just able 22 guys running after a small ball on a green patch of land with thousands of pple screaming... betting on e games isnt just able gambling... its about strategic planning and anaysis... lots of thinking and calculation... maybe just a bit a bit to do with luck though...
there are some who just watch e matches for e thrill & fun & entertainment... some other die-heart soccer fan who play soccer themself watch with very sharp eyes & knowledgeable minds... some even learn some of e players tactics and style...
this season is indeed a time for pple, esp e guys to bond together... pple come together with chips, beer, nuts, home-delivery pizza/mac... late nights... coffee shops...
i'll put it as an intellectual & strategic game... for both e players and viewers... its not as simple as it looks...
there's just so so so much into this international recognised sports...

as of now, we're come out with 3 colours... based on our predictions of each match and round... and highly prob one... but shhh~~~ i'm not telling u... at least, not yet... *hehe...

so its more analysis for now...

e worst part is, i dun have cable... =(

~~~

i remember my time during acjc pe... when e guys kept playing soccer... i will just sit at e grand stand... or just acting busy... or doing my more hated ang's yellow thingie jumping!!! but observing e guys play their soccer... e same few tactics and tricks each of them have... their individual style etc... then there was one particular pe session... it was with e same few of them, e guys were teaching me some of their tricks... so i learnt and then applied while playing with them... obviously they knew wat tricks i'll be using... but they did give in... how nice of them... hehe... of course, with my occasional screams... and times when i'll be e goal-keeper... e trick is, i'll place the 2 cones so close to each other... of course, e ball can hardly get in... haha... those were e days! =

~~~

i realised something... my blog posts been rather long... but wat to do.. having survived a year in nus arts course... thousand of words & pages of essay seems to be nothing anymore...
*so pls pardan my "longness"

2006-06-12T00:25:00.000+08:00

oh no! she's "back"! oh no!
but.........................................
WHO CARES...
esp abt her!

its been raining... weather has been cooling... and so i havent been able to enjoy warm bath... =(
my house water heater is based on solar... yea! solar...
so if it rains, my water will be cold as well... if there's hot sun tat day, i'll get warm water... *hehe...
sun oh sun... where are u???

and guess what!
i got my specially air-flown from australia 'Rocklea Road' marshmellow, nuts, milk chocolate...

2006-06-08T22:19:00.000+08:00

wed had dinner with family and weelong... he'll be leaving for China on fri... for 1.5mths... business trip... go there talk chinese chinese chinese... *can he survive? hmmm... we had so much food... yummy... but i didnt exactly like e style of cooking... its teochew!!!

on our journey back, we have a very funny and interesting conversation abt relationship... how to 'score' points... many lame comments too... shhh~~~ not suppose to spread outside e 4 doors...

but tokking abt it... i think to myself *wats going on...

thur and fri was Singtel SME BizFair at Raffles City Convention Centre... as compared to pc show... this is so so so so so much more slack... but e more slack it gets, e more boring and e more tiring it can get...
well, since its at a 4-star hotel, we got good service and good food! u'll b amazed by e treatment we get... at times, it doesnt feel we're working... and e best part is, we get paid...
chatted with few of e perm staff... enjoyable...
Jackee, my i/c, was teaching us quite a bit abt Singtel, her job, e process of planning this etc... we tokked abt competitors... looking ard... seriously, u dun see e colour orange and green at site... *sensitive colours... and i was suppose to watch out for competitor spy... unfortunately, i didnt manage to spot any...
*enriching...
got to meet all kinds of big shot pple... directors after directors... MDs after MDs... *smile and be poliet* is very impt!
and guess wat, i met Mr SingTel VP, Mr Wong... he looks friendly and pleased with us... which is wat tat matters... apart from e sales figures... i guess in e working world, it is very much impt to be able to please ur boss to succeed...

2006-06-07T18:27:00.000+08:00

shanice aka gui fen aka Gou Feng aka dog shit...

-- is an intruder... she just keeps crashing into my house... disturbing me... and beating me...

-- is a free-loader... helping herself to my food (ie ice cream, maggie mee, drinks, chips, biscuits, sweets)

-- is useless... she cant even do simple things... all she knows how to do is make a fool out of herself...

-- is lazy... she doesnt even want to click a free buttons to get simple things done...

-- is in self-denial... she keeps thinking i love her... she and her 'love me, love dog' logic...

wats next???

*oh well, thats my bestie 13 year old friend for u... and still counting... =)

her crazy-ness and lame-ness never fails to make me laugh... her company is entertaining and great... being able to go crazy with her w/o feeling shy... no self-image... of course when we're serious, we're serious... dun mess ard with us...

*alright, i shouldnt go on & on, or her head will swell... and she'll keep bragging... hehe...

2006-06-06T23:04:00.000+08:00

i heard it, i was 'wow!' too... now knowing more abt e wonders of 3G... i want a 3G phone too! =p

i typed a rather long post... a few times liao
but somehow, there is something unknown tat is stopping me from clicking the 'publish' button... so i just saved as draft...

this is my blog... my diary, yet often i make this conscious effect to remind myself tat it is not tat really confidental or personal...
its freaky to know how many pple actually view my blog everyday...
i dun like pple to pass judgement on me... it upsets me at times...
maybe somehow, i dun really want the whole world to know abt my life... only e special few pple... *i'm biased... hehe...

so wats e purpose of a blog now???
for others to discover abt u? for others to discover abt self?
an avenue for self-reflection, self-expression & self-thots?

recently interesting 'discovery' been taking place...
i'm in deep thots... pondering... mind highly triggered... *a sign of maturity? haha

~~~

i guess, ok! no need to guess... i only have 1 simple wish this season... since its a wish, it cant be said... shhh~~~

2006-05-22T15:42:00.000+08:00

at ps area... waiting for shutter bus to national stadium... loooonnnnggggg Q... early in e morning... it just got bright... =)

2006-05-21T20:27:00.000+08:00

fri shopping => walking
sat 'shopping' => more walking... but happy happy =)

both days i was wearing my 'doll' shoes... which made my feet hurt & feel sore... n a blister at e back of my right feet... see lar, wanna vain, so have to suffer lor... haha...

today = big walk + shopping => more n more n more walking (a few KMs!!! no joke leh! =p )

time for my poor legs to take a rest... *medic! i need the medic... wahaha...

a great achievement today too... guess wat time i woke up??? 6am! yea! AM... TAT early... i left e house when it was still dark... i reached home when it was dark again... woohoo... =)

big walk was exciting and crazy... i love walking on the road! e feel of being able to have e whole road to myself...
then suntec shopping... i wasnt exactly in any mood then... so tired and slpy... and feeling stupid wearing the super huge big walk tees with shorts... at times, e tees seems longer than my shorts length... wahaha... and i was just there last night... haha...
then ktv... wah! wat an experience... maybe because i'm so used to being so conscious abt being in pitch, tune and rythm... listening to e other voices to blend in with them in harmony... i'm choir girl mah... *a proud one =)... so even asking me to sing today i felt challenged... out-of-tune! cant take it! till as point, i just rather not sing... anyway this time round, i know how to sing more chinese songs than e last time i kbox-ed... great achivement faith! =p

~~~

i dun wan to be judgemental and jump into conclusion... i think its better to put myself in e other person's shoe and learn to understand y things are e way they are... take one step at a time... and not think too much... trust is impt... respect as well... not forgetting love... Love one another as God loves me... =)

this afternoon, 2 verses spoke to me... with reference to the NIV Bible

Life by the Spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
-Galatian 4:22-26

Love
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
-1 Corinthian 13:4-8

of course, when reading verses... like how sis often teach me... we should not forget to read in context... so here goes:
-Fruit of the Spirit: http://www.ibs.org/niv/passagesearch.php?passage_request=Galatians%205&niv=yes
-Love: http://www.ibs.org/niv/passagesearch.php?passage_request=1%20Corinthians%2013&niv=yes
