If things work out alright, I would definitely be looking forward to December. For now, it'll just be a whole lot of prayer and preparations.

So many arguments about what should be right and at the same time trying to justify one's stand. It's natural to gravitate to a certain stand based on one's life experience and beliefs but I still maintain the fact that we should be more concerned about our personal growth and not so much about the outer appearance. We talk so much about our dressing, posture, wealth, attitudes and what not but I really feel that we should be more concern about our walk with God rather than what we wear to church. Yes, I do know your intentions about it and I respect it but I could dress my best for God on Saturdays and Sundays but not even bother to acknowledge Him during the week. I don't really see an issue with casual dressing. Then again, you're welcome to refute me. But I wonder, what did Jesus wear when He came before God in prayer during the wee hours of the day? I'm sure He was more focussed on the condition of His heart above anything else.

hey you, dinner soon?



I've realised how I'd rather not write specifics in my journal. Certain things just shouldn't be articulated or pen-ed down. On a brighter note, I totally dig the following song. Can't get the video so here's the link. It's one of those pick me up song.

STUCK LIKE GLUE

I love this song so much. It's those kinds of song that make you do a funny dance in your room when no one is looking:D



FRIDAY IS HERE. I'm so happy :D

This week has been long and not so good but I still enjoyed myself. Such a contradiction I know(:
I'm looking forward to the weekends to spam all my readings and catch up with them since I don't have the time to do so during the week, or maybe just this week. I guess it's cos I didn't do any of my work last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I went out on all 4 free days. So yes, I normally do all my work on Sunday and Monday but I went out for the entire day on those last two days but I must add that I had a great time(: Sunday, going JP and having an impromtu tea buffet at kuishinbo and then walking about at JP and Lot 1(: hehe. But yeah, backlogged work all the way this week. Not as bad as previous semesters but I'm not gonna repeat it again next week. PROMISE.

And I did catch Resident Evil in 3D on wednesday! I actually quite enjoyed it and the 3D effects weren't that bad(: Had a nice long talk till almost 12am after that and crashed when I got home.

Yesterday was beyond great. Despite the presentation and really crazy 100 mcq test questions in 1 hour, I felt so blessed. Woke up and wanted to listen to some music. Turned on the radio but I didn't feel like listening to those songs so I downloaded the Klove app on my iPhone and the familiar songs made me feel so lighthearted(: Been a long time since I last tuned in and soaked in the songs. Sat on my bed and decided to pray. Likewise, been a long time since my first conversation of the day was with God. So yes, did just that and it made my Thursday a whole lot easier.

I'm wondering how the mission team in Timor are doing(: Looking forward to have them back in Singapore but also praying that while they are there, God is using them greatly:D

WG girls: I miss you all alot. Heard there hasn't been much dg dinners since our last official wg session. I hope you girls will have one soon kay! Get some bonding going on and much needed fellowship! We will meet soon okay? I love you girls alot(:

hey you(: hi.



After reading a few chapters of Ecclesiastes a while back, I had some thoughts especially from chapter 2. Here was what I jotted down..

"Chasing after the world's goodness means nothing. Even after the author of this book has done everything that is 'good' in the eyes of the world, his soul and meaning in life was nothing short of futile. here, we see a man, chasing after the things of this world as an experiment(?) to see if it brouhgt him satisfaction. And after everything that he had done, chasing after riches, partying, gaining wisdom, accumulating wealth, having women, slaves, etc., he still found that life was meaningless. What puzzles me is the fact that we have an account of the lived experience of this guy but we fail to heed his advice. Why does our human nature still crave for this 'goodness' when we already know the consequences? Why do we feel the need to gain material wealth solely for oursleves? However, the chapter wasn't left hanging, thank God! We are told that we should find joy in God because nothing can be done without God being our joy.
Question: In the last few verses, it says "To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." What does God mean by this? It cannot be that Christians aren't suppose to be rich right? Then what about the very last sentence? So which is meaningless? Gaining wealth or?"

Ecclesiastes has a way of making one think.

Heh. Babysat Zeph yesterday with Clarissa:D I'm amazed that Mark and Sue trusted us with him when we didn't have that much experience with babies but I must say, it was a really good experience. Not easy definitely. Especially when he was crying for no reason. It was tiring! New found respect for all parents out there. Babysitting for 4 hours was enough to tire me out. I must give it to all parents who do this 24/7. What's more, Zeph was being an easy baby yesterday. I know I was a difficult baby. Refused to stop crying and cannot be left on the bed when I sleep. So my mom had to carry me almost all the time. And she told me I'll cry till my face turned red. Oh boy. My mom's a real supermom!(:

I think I'm going to watch Resident Evil tonight if plans go accordingly. It's gonna be a packed week ahead. Did I mention I love weekends? :D

hey you! Thanks(:



I'm gonna get only 6 hours sleep tonight because I decided to have impromptu dinner plans with Jon and only got home around 10 40pm. Sigh. But I really enjoyed dinner(: Thanks for the treat! I promise I'll treat you the next time. Crystal Jade to eat Xiao Long Pao right? I'm not so rich kay. We should stop eating Cafe Cartel. It's too big a portion): And trust me, one day I will pwn you at your games. I'll make sure I'll not be lazy and use my brains for once since I can't count on beginners' luck. Haha(: When I'm 60, I'll challenge you.

Thankful for such opportunities to catch up and hang out together despite our busy schedules. He's so ridiculous I can't even begin to explain. Too many stupid stuff, cannot say out. Later reputation of ours go down the drain. Haha.

Okay. Random post before a CRAZY friday. I hope it won't be torturous. Please please please. Hurhh. HOW TO WAKE UP. OKAY BYE.

P.S. Someone buy me koi please? I'll treat you to one too.



It's been quite a hectic week thus far but very eventful nonetheless. It's 3am in the morning as I type this entry and the only reason why I'm up so late is firstly, I got home around 12am, secondly, I finally completed what I initially set out to finish at 1am, and thirdly, school starts at 1 15pm so I can sleep in till 11 plus. So yes, I'm dead beat but I shall blog since I've not done so for quite a while.

Birthday boy

Justin was so funny. I gave him a card that read Happy Birthday Justin on the front with a note behind and an Ang Bao(: This was before the dinner so I thought he read it already. Then I asked him if he had already read it during dinner and he said "Huh? Got note behind ah? Ohh. I thought it was just Happy Birthday. Nevermind, later I go home and read." -.- Boys ah.

Tuesday was NICE:D Had lecture in school and waited for Mag. As I read up on my textbook, Julia happened to pop by to say hi. And the funny thing was that I was wondering if I would see her. Awesomee(: Chatted and caught up with her. Mag came shortly and we had a good dinner together in the canteen before heading over to Mark and Sue's place to visit them and baby Zeph. Made our way there and baby zeph was simply adorable. He fell asleep in our arms and it was nice holding him as he slept. Looking forward to babysitting him soon.

Today was packed! Had lessons till 10am, went home and did up some cards before going for tuition. After that, I rushed to Yishun to meet up with some of them to visit Mark together since that guy got admitted yet again. The KTPH was sooo nice! More like a hotel than anything else. Mark was looking great even though he was in some pain. Hope he recovers soon and the tests tomorrow would determine what's the cause of the pain. Get well soon kay Mark! When you're hungry for fast food, just look at the card(: Haha. Remember no fast food till next year. So future study dates cannot go macs. Must go church or something. HAHA. Rest wellll! After that, I rushed to meet Grace BB. It's been sooo long since I saw her and we had an awesome time catching up. You better come on saturday kay! I mizz youu and the girls are always talking about you!

This is a crazy long post and I'm super tired out): Time to hit the comfy bed and enter dreamland till 11 30am before a long day tomorrow. Mummy's birthday on Friday! Hope she'll like the card:) Ok. Bed time. Next post will definitely be on Ecclesiastes and random thoughts about soci. Heh. Nights people!

hello you(: I can't wait!

Fanastic week!

Very thankful to have Friday off this week. After one Friday last week, I was exhausted by the end of the day so having a day off today was a huge relief and althought it wasn't the most productive, I managed to do some work. SOME. Plan was to meet Aletheia and Grace to study at BPP but Grace wasn't feeling well so it was left with Ale and myself. (Take care bosom buddy!) We arranged to wake up at 9am but I woke up at 10am. Haha. I love my bed and my bed loves me(: Headed out after a quick call from Mark. (Hello you! I'm glad you're getting better. Stop thinking about fast food and eat rice. Later your stomach cannot take it. Haha. I told my mom I wanted to make you a get well card with cut outs of all the fast food things you ordered but she said i was evil. So sad. HAHA. Get well sooon!) It was a cool breezy weather after a short downpour and we studied at Subway before going to Macs for lunch and basically fought post lunch sleepiness for the next few hours. I lack the concentration and attention span that is required of a Uni student. I really think so. Haha. Someone tape me to the chair please.

Yesterday was hilariously fun. Finally met up with the usual Friday peeps but it was just the 4 of us since most had plans already. From dinner to conning Ale to spinning on some old peopel fitness area to swinging on swings to telling Ale the truth to having fibre torn out of Ale's heart to walking to Keat Hong to Bangkit to heart2heart talk with Ale to home. Hahaha. I had so much fun really. We should meet up again kay! Maybe a time of pool and bowling soon too? I'm missing all those fun thinking about it now(: Thank you guys for making Thursday night so much fun. Make sure the twins come on Saturday kay! LOL. ^^

Weekends are coming!(: Looking forward to a long weekend since I get Monday offs too. Study date anyone? Without the food pleaseee. Thanks. Haha. I've been really good these few weeks! Staying home for dinner and not going out so often. I kinda miss having dinner plans with people and hanging out with random ones. Study date / dinner date / movie date / chill out date? Hee. Okay. Swimming with two of my girls tomorrow morning and maybe some shopping. Excited!

And yes, once again, my thoughts about Ecclesiastes have been put on hold. Bleah. Soon!

hey you! I hope you see how God is working(:



I love wednesdays! And especially today(: Despite the extended lectures due to Friday's holiday and the pouring rain, I was a happy kid for whatever reason. I see God breaking through and providing circumstances for restoration and interaction.

Oh yes. On the way home, at the bus stop, while the streets were drenched with rain and rain still splashing down in buckets, one SBS bus suddenly stopped 'working' and the bus driver kept trying to restart the engine but you could tell by the way he was shaking his head that the bus probably had to be declared 'broken down'. Had the urge to pray and I did so silently. I didn't know what I was praying but all I remember was asking God to make the bus work and that it would not cause inconvenience especially with the heavy heavy rain. Before I knew it, the bus sputtered back to life and was on it's way to continue the journey. I was glad but it was only when I boarded my bus that I realised God had answered my prayers. God! God of the Universe, above all kings, above all powers, above everything, had bothered to tune in to my quiet prayer and answer it, knowing how much joy it would bring. As I pondered over this thought, my heart was filled with thanksgiving. What joy it was to realise that God cared(:

That was one thing that made my day. Now for the second thing :D
I was on my way to BPP after tuition to get Subway for my family since they all agreed on having that. My dad called half way asking me where I was and saying that he'll pick me up after I've gotten dinner. Normally, these calls are quite mundane to me but it hit me during the conversation that there are kids out there who wish their dads would call to check on them, show some love and pick them up to save them the hassle of taking public transportation. It was then that I realised that I should treasure such moments and I did. That sweet feeling of being loved crept in and I couldnt help but smile a little.

To top that off, there was a third thing that made my day. While at subway, there was this really friendly staff who helped out with my order. He was cool and did all the vegetable toppings and sauce for the 4 foot long that I ordered. To make it easier, I asked for all the sandwiches to have the same vegetables topped off with sweet onion sauce. He turned to his fellow staff who was still making the other two orders and chirped "Do you know why she wants sweet onion sauce? Cos she's sweet!" Awwww! So nice. As I got ready to pay, I looked at the counter and displayed was $35.20. Took out the money, ready to pay when he punched in some other stuff and the bill totalled up to $31.70 instead. Apparently, he gave me a 10% discount. Haha. I beamed and thanked him before heading off. Friendly service people make me smile more(:

hey you, remember to take a break(:



Monday:

Had a good long chat with Mark at midnight while I waited for my hair to dry(: Justin sat beside me laughing at Russell Peters and playing whatever nonsense game he was playing. Those bang bang die die games I bet. It was almost 2am when I settled down to fall asleep. And I slept like a baby throughout the night. I don't even remember tossing and turning. When I opened my eyes, it was already 9 40am. Bummed around in bed till Joel came in mimicking Annoying Orange "Toe-May-Toe..Toe-May-Toe."-.- Seriously. And he said I was more 'annoyarable' than Justin. Thanks Joel.

Chilled out with Justin on the sofa till 2pm when Mark called and suggested a studying session. Hehe, God is good. I hadn't studied the whole day so this was a good chance. Plus, home had the slacker feel and Monsters Vs Aliens was on HBO. I'll tell you now, it's sucha CUTE show. I love bubble. He is so funny. So yes, I peeled myself out of the sofa and headed to BPP macs to study. Turned out, it was quite productive. I completed one chapter of UGC. Yes, only one chapter but I'm happy neverthless :D I also learned that the Chipotle seasoning is lethal. Never pour it out separately and dip your fries inside. Chances are, you'll have alot on your fries and when you breathe in while munching your fries, you can bet you'll have a coughing fit right after.

Msn-ed with bfg at night and she raised a very interesting point about the whole accounting before God on Judgement Day. Her question was "If we seek forgiveness for our sins everyday, then what do we have to account for when we face God?" It is intriging since God already said in Hebrews 8:12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." As such, if God remembers our sins no more, what then do we have to account for? Our stewardship of time etc? (And I think I may have just answered myself but then again, I won't know)

That pretty much sums up my Monday :D

Highlight for today: I BOUGHT ITALIAN B.M.T FROM SUBWAY FOR DINNER. I'm so happy:) Have been craving for subway since Sunday and thinking about it during lecture today was enough to send me hopping on 852 to go West Mall and buy myself subway. Hehe. Happy for the night!

Still sniffing. Hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow. Like magic.



Thank God it's Friday and weekends are finally here! I must say, the week went by pretty quickly and for that, I'm really thankful. But today was just so very draining. It's only week 1. I dare not imagine what I'll be in for for the next 12 weeks:/ It was school at 9am with the first two lectures being relatively light and fun. But the last lecture at 3 30pm on World Civilisation totally killed my brain. 3 hours in a cold lecture hall, about ancient civilisations like China and Egypt, not to mention a terribly itchy nose coupled with a cold, was just bad. And bad is probably an understatement. I've no idea how I managed to survive. And now, I'm still managing one sneeze every 10mins or so. Annoying. Hopefully a good night's rest would do the trick or I will have to find a replacement usher I/C for tomorrow's ushering team, which will prove to be a challenge since it's so last minute. Help.

Anyhow, today was a relatively good day, cold aside. Reading world civilisations before the lecture proved to be very challenging as we awaited the 3 hours of talking and taking notes. Initial plan was to meet bosom buddy Grace for a studying session after my lecture but she couldn't make it. With nothing to look forward to, it just made the day so bleah. Thought of Jon Tan and decided to text him and see if he had any dinner plans. None. Good. Arranged to meet for dinner since I haven't had a proper conversation or a meet up with him for a while already. That made the last lecture a tad more bearable since I knew there was something to do tonight. Lecture ended at 6 30pm and I was glad to be out of that place to just unwind for the day. Decided to head home to drop off my stuff before heading out for dinner since Jon wasn't quite done at work.

Dinner at Woodlands was great. Great company and food at Ashton's Express. Cheap and of good quality. Slacked about, played a few rounds of Reversi and what not, talked and did quite a bit of catching up. Hehe. Free data plan for a month! Thank youu(: Headed off around 10 40pm since we were both tired and I wasn't feeling good. It felt good to spend Friday night like that. I'd be happy and contented if I could spend all my Friday nights meeting up with friends just to chill and hang out. No textbooks, no notes, no homework. Just pure quality time with my friends(: Sounds like a plan.

My eyes are closing and my brain isn't making much sense. This post probably has quite a few contradictions but that doesn't bother me. I'm not here to make perfect posts(: I should head to bed and hope the cold subsides. Please no fever tomorrow. WEEKENDS!

hey you, I'm praying for you. Keep the faith(:



Day 2 of school and I'm surviving well. How can I not? Especially since I go to school for a mere one and a half hours of lecture:D Heh. It was great seeing everyone again. Plus the fact that my lecturer is really cool. He's so laidback and it's funny how he is making sense but says he is not making sense due to jetlag. So contradictory but so cute. I like his accent(:

So today was a relatively productive day. Had school till 9 20am and then it was home! Bfg came over and we had so much fun(: Wrapped books, went gymming, bathed and had reallly good lunch together. It was a good fruitful time of trying to exercise. (Love you girl!) Had tuition after that and the weather was just terribly hot. Unbearable. I could probably get a sun burn if I was under the sun any longer. But ah wells, tuition was good and studying with my girls at Jellywelly's house was half productive, not forgetting an unexpected call. I think we laughed and chilled out more but they were probably done studying since they were there since lunch time. It was about 6pm that we left and headed home. Was almost tempted to get cheesefries from KFC but decided against it. Heh. Next time maybe:D Diet plan fail seriously.

On another note, reading Ecclesiastes has been a real joy. I find myself having quite a number of questions. And I'm just dying to have someone to discuss with. But everyone including myself is so busy, so it's gonna be really hard to do that. I've had a good mind to just type it all here but due to lack of time, I probably would have to do it on Saturday or something. It's about time I sort out my thoughts and put them into words and hope someone would have alternative views and share them with me. Yes, that shall be my plan.

Dang, I'm starting to feel sleepy): I spent half the day sneezing. Panadol cold relief ftw(: Stopped sneezing but my nose still feels weirdish. Shall head off to do some reading and then spend some time with God. Looking forward to latter for sure!:D Comfy bed with air con, my bible, room to myself and God's presence. What more can I ask? Heehee. Okay. Nerd time! Toodles!:)

edit/ Hehe! Ale came over last minute . Happened to be at cck so she popped by for study/nail painting session. Funniest crap ever. Love how she was able to come at just the right time- as i was about to fall asleep reading my texts. Laughed and had sooo much fun despite the mere 2 hours of meet up. And on the way to the LRT...

Me: Ale! That expression was such a Canon moment!
Ale: Huh what Canon moment?
Me: Aiyah. Photo moment.
Ale: What Canon moment?? It's Fuji moment! HAHAHA
Me: OHH. -Laughing fit-
Ale: Oh wait. It's not Fuji. It's Kodak...

LOL. I bet the whole neighbour could hear us howling with laughter. Nevertheless, we laughed till we could hardly walk. Heh. Loved today alot:D

hey you, i hope you've been studying for 'O' levels!
