i love my weekends.
ok before i begin let me dispense a bit of trivial but you-never-know-when-you-might-need-it advice.
Never Ever (i repeat) NEVER EVER put rabbit sweets in the fridge.
They become hard like rock.
Thankfully my teeth are still in tact.
(Kat puts another rabbit sweet into her mouth. She's just too impatient.)
friday was definitely better than i expected.
first of all, econs lecture was hilarious. LT 11 is never cold. But that day me and gina were freezing our asses off. Haha. It was so darn EMPTY. My gosh. I almost wasted to burst out laughing when i went into the LT. And to think i was worried there wasnt going to be space.
Secondly, Soci tutorial was not as bad as i imagined it to be. Made "friends" with the tutor (this is such a highly embarrassing encounter that i dont think i want to or dare to publicize it. ha.) and this year three girl named Vince (pronounced Vin-See) and FINALLY there are cute guys in my tutorial class. Haha. So finally i have solved the mystery of the missing cute guys in NUS. They all went either to Archi or Engine fac. I know where im heading to for my cross-fac module. Haha.
Went to chomp chomp to eat with Michele and Ah-sao (my junior). Had sambal stingray, chilli sotong (with tons of onions), fried carrot cake, peanut and sesame tang yuan in peanut soup and a huge cup of sugarcane juice with lemon. Good food. Excellent Company.
Saturday was a good time spent at YF.
It really reminded me of my need to be salt and light on this earth as a christian.
We watched a powerpoint presentation on this girl who was the above to those around her, blessing everyone, not just her friends and family but even those who were shunned by people.
Sadly, she was killed during the shoot-out at Columbine.
It was said that one of the gun-men pulled her hair and shouted to her at gun-point, "are you a christian?" and her reply came bold and convicted, "you know very well the answer is yes."
When i read that, tears came to my eyes.
I realise that honestly, i doubt my ability to do as she did.
Is life so important to me?
Are the things that i have on this earth more precious than what is to come in heaven?
Where is my conviction to spread the amazing word and love of God to the people i care about?
Today, i spent the afternoon in town with my parents.
Retail theraphy at its best.
Haha.
Bought two tops from Fox and a polo tee and bag from Fila.
And yeah. My dad paid for everything.
Haha.
I love it when such things happen.
As in when im completely prepared to pay for the stuff i want but dad comes along and foots the bill.
It just means i have that "extra" money to buy other stuff.
Haha.
Going shopping with Mishie moo on thurs for CNY.
Better buy soon.
Dont fancy rushing with everyone else.
Alright. Gotta go get some work done.
Tmr is a mad mad day.
i start at 10am and i end at 8.30pm.
Pray for me.
Thanks.

Contemplation.
Its hard to feel enthusiastic or want to do something when you arent recognized.
No hard feelings here because im pretty sure it was unintentional.
Just thinking aloud i guess.
Trying to come to a decision to michele's question.
Its not that i dont wanna agree.
Its not that i dont wanna serve.
But as of the above, its hard.
Its almost impossible to look or think or talk to someone as before when you know things are different now.
But its weird how he acts so oblivious as though nothing has happened.
And if he really is what he is then someone isnt going to be too happy about the way he treats and talks to me.
Maybe shawn got his infomation all wrong.
Then again i highly doubt Shawn would lie to me about such a thing, or even lie to me at all.
Anyway, thanks to Corlissa for being worried about me.
Heh.
I worry about u too my dear sister.
We will meet up soon ok?
:)

the eternal optimist...
| You Are the Enthusiast |
You are outgoing and playful - always seeing the happy side to life. You're enthusiastic and excitable. You love anything new. Multi-talented, you do many things well... and find success easy. You prefer to keep things light with others. Opening up is hard for you. |
What number are you?
and so the eternal optimist will rise to her feet again..
she will, with God's unfailing love and grace, pick herself up and get on with life..
actually. im not as affected as i thought i would be. maybe its 'cause i was kinda expecting it.
well let's just hope it doesnt give me more problems than it already has.
in fact it seems to have helped me a wee bit in my lil predicament.
but yes.
Nothing is too big or too small for God to handle.
And He never ever lets me go.
Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side;
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

everything happens for a reason...
from shawn not being able to get the same tutorial as me and gina,
to him knowing swi cause they're in the same elang tutorial,
to them coming in for elang lecture together,
to meiyen not really wanting to sit beside shawn during lecture,
to swi changing places so that meiyen could sit beside her resulting in shawn sitting beside me,
to shawn mustering up the courage to risk slight embarrassment and ask me something,
to him telling me about that very important fact.
thanks shawn.
i mean it.
thanks for telling me.
and thanks for the two hours of non-stop hilarity.

i dreamt a nightmare...
they say your dreams show you what you subconsciously want, think, feel.
i dreamt.
i thought it showed me what i really wanted.
it was bliss initially.
then it became a nightmare.
i was still torn.
and i tried to run away.
even my dreams are confused as to what my heart aches for.

this semester is just going from bad to worse..
first round of bidding for tutorials have eneded.
the results?
a whole load of rubbish.
honestly, the rankings all dont make sense.
a friend who put a particular timeslot(s) as his 1st and 2nd choice didnt get either.
some people only got 2 out of 5 of their tutorials.
some people got timeslots that they didnt even rank.
others got tutorials at completely horrible timings.
so basically the bidding system has failed terribly.
succeeding only in pissing off tons and tons of people.
me (definitely) included.
at least me mish and gina all got into the same marketing tutorial :)
There's something therapeutic about doing the dishes
and amazingly i do it not against my wishes
perhaps its because
i think its the perfect gesture of appreciation to the cook
for all of the heartfelt effort and love that she took
without a breather or a pause.

rendered helpless..
what do you do when someone has a problem?
what do you do when someone has a problem and turns to you for help?
what do you do when someone has a ginormous problem and turns to you for help?
what do you do when someone, who is extremely close to you, has a ginormous problem and turns to you for help?
what do you do when someone, who is extremely close to you, has a ginormous problem and turns to you for help but you cant and dont know what to do?
1230 - my hair, after taking its own sweet time, was finally dry
0100 - about to sleep
0130 - the call on my hp came
0530 - the call ended, the friend crying and the other crying for the friend
i've never been more helpless than before.
this person really means so so so much to me, perhaps more than i'll ever admit.
and it hurts so bad not to be able to provide a solution or even a temporary comfort.
all i can do now is to kneel down and pray.
The bumps and bruises along life's way
Are softened when you stop and pray...
God will always listen to you
Gently guiding all you do...

So how was your wednesday?
i absolutely hate taking the bus in the mornings during office rush hour..today it took me one and a half hours just to get to school..the jam at hougang alone was almost half an hour..bah..and the 151 wasnt an air-conditioned one..so it was a really rickety-rack journey all the long long way to NUS..
maketing lecture wasnt too bad..i thought the lecturer was a bit weird at the beginning though..haha..he was playing classical music before class started with everyone still streaming in..heh..and he tells horrifically lame jokes that NO ONE laughs at..haha..just ask Gina..we were rolling our eyes every single time he tried to be funny..haha..but i suppose his lack of joke-telling-success makes him rather entertaining..heh..
hhaa..took the wrong shuttle bus from biz ad..thankfully i realised it (while Gina was happily smsing away) and got off before we ended up at PGP..haha..the frequency of 95 is really terrible..we waited until i asked gina "are u sure 95 comes to this bus stop"..haha..i returned Joel's missed call there too..and it was funny cause somehow he was driving along past the bus stop opposite the central library and i think he saw me so that silly bugger actually stopped the car in the middle of the road just to see me talking to him on my handphone while he was talking to me on his..haha..too bad i had to meet my parents later if not i would have joined him and shawn for lunch..
accompanied Gina to buona vista to get her bus pass done..haha..silly girl lost her bus pass and has to pay a freakin' 21bucks just to get it replaced..so here's a warning to all..dont misplace your bus pass! its not worth it! haha..left her shortly though..had to be at kovan station by 1.30pm..
There wasnt any jam at the causeway (thankfully!) and we headed to city square to shop..the place is huge..haha..Malaysia really has too much land..many many many shops..wanted this pair of shoes but they didnt have my size..phooey..vinnci doesnt exactly have very nice shoes either..what happened to their old designer? come back please! haha..bought a Aeropostale's tee, a Levis tee and a pair of Levis shorts..ok im sorry but im a huge Levis fan..haha..and i like going into the Levis in Malaysia because the staff are more friendly..in Singapore they always give me a horridly bad impression and are most unhelpful may i add..like how they screwed up my alteration..but lets not get into that shall we..
Dinner was at my aunty's house..haha..as always..good food..had wild boar cooked in this awesome milk-based soup with tau kee and peppercorns..stir-fried veggies..fried fish and chinese-style omelette..heh..and my niece is awfully cute..but naughty as most kids are..haha..she almost pulled my bracelet out in her insistance to want to try it on..tsk..heh..looked at photos of shanghai, hainan dao and hongkong..think my parents wanna go one of these places during my 3month break..i dont mind..haha..as long as shopping and dim sum is included in the programme :)
haha..im talking to my neighbour who stays in the same block as me but on the twelveth floor through msn right now..pretty interesting huh..so here's a "hey there!" to Jun Yuan..haha..here's one for you:

The same country, the same side.
The same area, the same night.
Just me and my neighbour
Talking under the moonlight.
well..mine was a day well spent with my friends, parents and family...

i hate the bidding system...
ok i predict a terrible semester 2 of my first year in nus...
first of all, due to the bidding system i wont be doing any literature modules this semester.
which absolutely sucks.
the only reason im in arts is because i want to do lit.
but ok. stupid me.
i didnt declare lit as my major.
secondly, im a little afraid, ok make that a little more than afraid of the coming semester.
all my modules seem to be rather difficult and heavy.
ive gotten four modules so far.
econs - i like econs but i did get a C for the As...
E lang - ok this one isnt too bad...
Sociology - im praying hard this module is interesting...at least amanda is taking it too
French - ok this is the real killer..two lectures per week..tests every week..its not that i dont wanna learn it..im just afraid..i really dont wanna screw it up..as it is i completely suck at chinese..what makes me think i can do well/ok for french?
now im left with marketing to bid for..i rather management and organisation but ive got GB at 1530 on fridays and the lecture clashes..
sigh..and frm what i heard..marketing is a lot of work and presentations and projects..
*deep sigh*
God i really really need your help......

the guys in my life...
these past weeks ive really been catching up with the guys..
Jim took a really really long leave from army so he was pretty much freeeeeeeeeee the past week..
saw him really often from YF camp to the bbq to christmas eve to christmas morning to christmas afternoon to christmas evening to new year's day itself to that night when we went to catch corrinne may at the esplanade to sunday service/school..
haha..
thats a little bit too much of jim in about a week!
but yeah..thanks a lot fella..thanks for always being there and showing up when i least expect it..thanks thanks thanks..thanks for just being a great friend to me and amanda! :)
didnt really meet up with rongcai but met him and jim to catch corrinne may..
it was actually his idea..haha..amazing..i never expected him to be into such things..but as he phrased it..its his quest to be cultured..haha..sounds like vitagen or something..
anyway the train/bus ride home with him was really funny..
haha..
kept teasing him about being already so old (i shan't disclose any numbers here) yet being without a girlfriend and he was like joking about how literally everyone in church is asking him whether he needs help in finding a girlfriend and pushing him to get married!
im no exception my god-brother!
oh and thanks for sending me all the way to my door step that night..much appreciated :)
had dinner with edwin before meeting up with the above two to head to the esplanade..
it was really pure coincidence..heh..
was just chatting with him and we were both heading out at around the same time so we decided to have dinner together..
though dinner wasnt in the best setting (we settled for macs at PS but had to sit outside surrounded with smokers..argh) but the company more than made up for it..
we gotta have another meal together ed..it wasnt nearly enough time talking to you! and i just realised u had the honour of having the first dinner of the year 2005 with me! haha! oh! and lets remember to take our "red" photo if it ever happens again yeah? :)
met wee wee yesterday and joined the infamous queue to eat at crystal jade taka for dinner..
bad move though..'cause we were supposed to go shopping..haha..but by the time we were done with dinner it was already nine o'clock..heh..it didnt help that the staff took ten minutes just to settle my bill..
wanted to get my really belated gift for mig but somehow all the nice stuff are missing from the shelves especially now since everywhere is having sale (which translates into a time to get rid of the really ugly clothes)..
we actually walked around just to convince ourselves that yes, everywhere is CLOSED..haha..
we literally walked a-round starting from wisma towards tangs to lido to wheelock and back to wisma again where we finally had our 25cent icecream at macs..
haha..hey we gotta go shopping again! i still dont know what its really like to shop with you..haha..we'll check out the live entertainment we walked past (and heard) at wisma another time too yeah? maybe when u drive so i can stay out later..oh and thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for the cookies! though thats no excuse for making me wait and of all places orchard mrt station :P
And then there's you..
you smsed me at 1.18am just to tell me you're not gonna stay in hall anymore..
and you "insisted on disturbing my peaceful sleep" knowing full well that "my sleep can wait" just to reply you..
i really would have taken your offer for "dinner" but there's absolutely no way my parents would let me out 1.32am..
and guess what..my mum keeps asking me to show her the photo my dad took for us during the bbq..
and who can forget you?
the bbq really made me realise that it has always been you..no matter what happens..
i still enjoy talking to you and u never change..always cutting short our conversations just to run off to play your game..
and i think you're "bored" enough to be reading this..heh..
so yeah lets meet up once we've got each other our presents alright?

Something about you...
Dont what you do to me but
Everytime I'm with you its a natural high
its like re-discovering Eden
with chocolate-coated rainbows and cotton candy skies
And everytime you look my way
I wish i had the guts to say...
There's something in your eyes
Something in your smile
Something in the way you move me
You make me want to sing
Make me want to dance
Make me want to cry
I'm falling in love with you.
I think i'll hire Cupid
He'll make you see I'm more than your friend
You'll be tossing and turning
Counting the hours til you see me again
And when we meet you'll
Kiss my hand and say the words I've longed to hear...

so how has your 2005 been so far?
mine's been pretty crappy actually.
mine's been pretty crappy actually.
- I missed camp echo! (someone tell me who my angel is?pleassssssse?)
- went home after watchnight service feeling rather cheesed off due to a whole load of misunderstanding and absolute frustration (But all is well now..i hope)
- Brother totally messed up on sunday morning resulting in me getting a mouthful from my mum (like hello, i didnt do anything wrong)
- And my wound is gonna leave behind memories on my leg..and from the looks of it, its gonna be an ugly permanent reminder. (this photo was taken a day after the incident. it doesnt show the hideous state of the wound now in its awful peeling process)
But ok, not all has been all doom and gloom :)

So how has your year been?
Let's see..
2004 has been a rather exciting and painful year i guess.
I pretty much wasted 7 months of this year doing nothing productive whilst waiting for the uni term to begin in august. i was working at the uniform shop but that ended just before chinese new year. bummed around. slacked around. mopped around. until my mum couldnt stand me being at home anymore. haha. especially since i was still getting my allowence but she was buying lunch back for me everyday. haha. did find a job later helping jim's mum with her school work which was quite an experience since it gave me a taste of what its like to be a teacher. endless marking of work that is half-heartedly done and tons of prep work and staring at the computer screen. but it wasnt really work i guess. i was earning but believe me, it was easy money. lunch was even provided by jim's grandma and everday it was yummilicious food.
Moved in to my new house in june in time for my brother to celebrate his 21st birthday here. It was a lot of hassle especially since i only really started clearing out my room a month before the big shift. i never knew i had so many stuff. but it was difficult clearing out my things because it seemed as though everything was worth something. so much memories flooded me as i went through every book, every letter, every paper, every photo, every thing. i suppose im someone who really hoards stuff. i think i brought half my room over to this new place. hehe. and half the things in the bomb shelter belongs to me!
The month June was the worst for me. Too many things happened. Was painful. Even church camp was quite an emotional experience that led to what i thought was good but in the end was nothing gained. I made a decision that was incredibly difficult but i knew was the right thing to do. But now even as i type, i feel a sense of regret and almost guilt. During that month and thereafter i was ok. Everything seemed to be going ok, on the right track. I was preoccupied with the single life, really living it up, enjoying this new found freedom. But...
The start of Uni life proved to be quite an experience. Bidding especially which im in the midst of doing right now. haha. choosing modules, making new friends, orientation week, getting lost in campus, dealing with really lousy project mates and the ridiculously long journey to and fro school. uni life also meant dealing with new emotional disturbances. haha. my solidity and constancy was disturbed. tsk. and i didnt even ask for it...
so even as i start a new year..im starting it with a conflict-ridden heart but yet with optimism and trust in God. if there's one thing i learnt this year its the need to trust in God with all my heart, mind and soul. That no matter what, God is always there to lead us through and get us through the darkest valley and highest mountain. It sounds cliche but too much has happened that just reminds me of His love for me. And sadly, He constantly has to remind us year in and year out because we fail to believe and have faith in Him.
ok, think i'll end this really long entry in typical new year's fashion, resolutions:

ok, think i'll end this really long entry in typical new year's fashion, resolutions:
- I would say stop lying but lets be more realistic shall we, Lie Less. Ha.
- Use my pool more often!
- Eradicate Cs from my results.
- Spend less money on shopping.
- And the most important of them all, Live a life worthy of being called God's child :)
Have a great 2005 ahead everyone!
