theres really nothing better than starting the day with a hug.
especially when you know its gonna be a huge smile on your face.
especially when its gonna be a long long long day ahead.
especially when its from the one you love.
especially when its from the one who loves you.

i really should be studying right now.
should be trying to get through Shakespeare's King Lear and reading up on notes about it.
its absolutely insane.
this Shakespeare module of mine?
the lecturers arent going through the books but rather we're gonna compare editions, versions of the plays, videos and what not.
i mean. how does one compare when in the first place we dont even know what the play is about?
tsk. it just means a lot of hard work and camping out in the library as well as lugging heaps of books home just to grasp the basics of each book.
*bleah.
which reminds me..michele! you need to pay the fines for your library book on my lib card. heh.
another module im really worried about is Principles of Visual Communication.
bah.
no one told me i needed to draw!
i havent drawn since....primary school....and to begin with.....i cant draw for nuts.
phooey.
and i went down to ArtFriend the other day to buy art supplies which i probably will never ever use again in my lifetime after im done with this module.
hurhur.
i suppose its gonna be one tough challenge for me.
and this is what uni is for isnt it?
challenge yourself and expose yourself to different ideas and concepts.
things that you probably wouldnt ever get the chance to learn and absorb in a school environment once you get out into the working world.
guess this is whats stopping me from dropping the module.
same with "Literature and the other arts".
i really wanna use this chance while im still in school to really be exposed to as much as i possibly can before i face reality in the cruel outside world.
besides, you never know when these skills might come in handy.
alright.
guess im just gonna send him an email, grab a bite then get back to my King Lear.
what a way to spend my free day. phooey.
im so not looking forward to school tomorrow.
i end at 9pm!
and what to wear..........*headache. hurhur. ;)

alright..i wanted to blog yesterday after i came home but i was too sleepy..heh..pig..but here it is..better late than never (like i always say..hurhur)...
went down to city hall to meet jy and his poly buddy tianjie (or TJ for short) to have dinner..
interesting fact: TJ and JY were not just stuck together in poly for 3 years but later posted to the same platoon for BMT and as well as the same bunk..haha..then later posted to the same unit in NDU..hahaa..funny huh..but i suppose its a little like me and michele..same primary school, same secondary school, same cca in secondary school, same class in JC and now doing pretty much all the same modules in NUS..woah..wonder if we'll get the chance to work together..hurhur..
anyway..back to last night..went to marche to have dinner..which meant jy had to walk all the way back to suntec..hahaa..and he told me to meet him at city hall so i wouldnt have to walk all the way to suntec then to city hall..hahaa..yeah..he suggested suntec just cause he saw on my wishlist i wanted to have dinner at marche..heehee..thanks dear..
needless to say..food was aplenty..haha..but with two bottomless pits around (not me of course) it wasnt that much of a problem finishing up the food..food was ok i guess..not that fantastic but i did enjoy my seafood combo platter..yummy..always loved the tempura prawns and soft-shell crabs..heh..and who could forget dessert? in fact..i think i go to marche mainly for the dessert..hahaa..i would have gladly just had dessert for dinner but i dont think jy would approve..hurhur..we 3 had to share a plate of caramel banana crepe with ice cream though..all 3 of us were just too stuffed...
walked down to the esplanade after that..was really empty..guess because it was raining the whole day..but yeah..was nice and cool..the city skyline always looks so nice at night..went to max brenner later..hahaa..eat again...TJ had some alcoholic+choc drink, i had a strawberry with white chocolate shake and jy had this suckao thingy..its like they give you this little gadget that has a candle underneath and a metal bowl thingy on top..and with choc bits and milk..and so you melt the two together and drink it up..haha..sorry for the really lousy description..i didnt have my camera with me last night..yeah..and seriously..one could get a high from all that chocolate..haha..and thanks TJ for the sweet treat! literally. ha.
definitely enjoyed myself.
guess i really have to learn to give people and myself a chance as what jy told me while waiting for the train home.
thanks TJ for being so friendly and full of nonsense.
thanks JY for being so encouraging.
(:

this morning he called me and i was feeling so under the weather that i sounded like a grouch.
then i rejected his offer flatly to go upstairs to watch the hongkong serial with his mum.
and then a while later i sent him an sms which wasnt exctly very pleasant.
but it did say why i was feeling like an absolute nasty little thing.
well.
instead of being pissed and fed up with me...
he came down to give me a hug.
a very much-needed reassuring hug.
thanks dear.
it meant the world to me.

the very first week of a brand new year and already old bad habits are manifesting as they always have been..
sigh..
bad bad baddddddd start to the year 2006..
but i suppose on the more optimistic end..there are things to thank God for..
not in retrospect looking back on last year but rather within the few days of the new beginning..
ok so results came out last year but it was the year end so it counts ok..haha..and besides..i havent exactly blogged about it have i? well..results were..disappointing..i didnt get the B+ i was hoping for for intro to computing and the other results were just mediocre..tsk..but i got a rather shocking surprise (note the juxtaposition here..i really dont know if i shld b happy or not) when i got a B+ for Asian American Lit..like hello..me and michele only went for like 4 lectures? and attended give and take about 6 tutorials? hahaaaa..oh well..think either my bull-shitting skills really showed itself during the exam paper or everyone else did very badly..hahaaa..so yeah..results..phooey..there goes first class honours..hurhur..
on the brighter side of life..thank God that this year CORS decided to be nice to me and mishie moo..only 2 rounds of utter nonsense and senseless bidding of exorbitant amounts of points and we manage to get all the modules we want..of course theres a price to pay (literally) as now im broke in terms of points..hahaa..might have to settle for rubbish modules next semester..hurhur..but yeah..just wanna enjoy this semester and do well..think i should be camping out more in the library this semester..hurhur..find me and michele in the central library every tuesday 12 to 5! after which i shall run off to suntec to meet jy..hurhur..whatttttt..must have something to look forward to right..motivation to stay in school to study..heehee..*grin
oh yeah..also thank God that me and michele only have to bid for 2 tutorial time slots so that should ease the headache on tutorial bidding..yeah..cause 3 out of 5 modules are like either e-seminar or sectional teaching..which means..3hrs lectures..hahaaa..yeahhh..oh well..u cant always have your cake and eat it..
oohhhhhhh..how can i forget..if all goes well with tutorial bidding..im gonna have another semester of 3day weeks!!!
*WOOHOO!
so..
looking forward to this year..
kinda..
sorta..
looking forward to chinese new year..and church camp..and hopefully a shopping trip to bangkok in june..
yeah..
but on the flip side..
its gonna be a really really long year without someone...
sigh..
its a battle of wanting time to stand still but yet fly by..
sigh..

New year resolutions...
have you done yours?
or are they merely a repeat from last year?
ok so im about 3 days late but better late than never right?
new year resolutions..lets see..
i honestly have no idea..
i mean..the things i resolve to do every year kinda seems the same..
not exactly the same same but you know..like..theyre all about the same thing..
oh well..
guess its cause it takes a lot for people to actually get down to changing?
haha..
im definitely included..
everyones resistant to change arent they..
but sadly..
change is the only constant..
well..here goes:
-speak up more during tutorials
-be more concerned abt e ppl ard me (a.k.a b less spoilt)
-eat more..or rather more healthily
-have more self-confidence
so there you have it..
kat's four main resolutions for the year 2006..
i wonder what God has installed for me..
whatever it is..i know He'll be there for me..
(:

went to check out the zara sale..and well..nothing fantastic lah..haha..so crowded..and its like the fall/winter collection so nothing really suitable for singapore weather..all the woolies and thick coats..i dont really fancy their clothes anyway..for the simple reason that i cant really fit them..hurhur..even their smallest size for the skirt 34 is like levis too-superlow cutting for me..tsk..im too small lah..anywayyyyy..moving onnnnnn..went to kino since jy called to say he just left the office..was browsing through the fantasy/sci-fi section..ok..dont stare at me..yes yes yes..ever since that module i took last sem ive been quite drawn to the genre..hahaa...but sad to say..lousy kino does not have the books that i want..it does not have the Ursula Le Guin, Orson Card or the Philip Pullman book that i want..i mean..how can kino..a hugeeeeeeee bookstore..NOT HAVE THESE BOOKS!!!! tsk..someone please tell their manager yar..or rather someone send dr susan ang to give them a good telling-off please..hurhur..but yeah i bumped into this friendly caucasian guy and he recommended me this book titled "Lucifer's Hammer" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle..sounds good..science fiction book..my FIRST sci-fi book bought on my own accord..everyone applaud..hahaa..yeah..and finally got Orwell's 1984..yeap..now all i need to do is start reading them before school starts!
dinner was..very filling..hahaa..there was so much food! on top of my shui jiao mien there was roast chicken, black pepper beef, portuguese style tofu in claypot, stir-fried veg and deep-fried prawns in salad cream..gosh..i dont think ive eaten quite so much in a while..not since..Perth i guess..hurhur..and jy had to finish about a little more than half of my noodles..hurhur..yeah..but..gosh..silly me.........tsk..i thought there was no more chicken and i just happily piled an empty plate on top of it..gosh...seriously.................tsk. oh well..live and learn..but it was rather embarrassing..tsk..*bleah..yeah..the guilingao was nice but i was really just so full to the brim to eat anything else..still had to save space for cake!
came back to his place to cut cake! yummilicious chocolate mousse cake from Baker'z Inn..i wanna go for desserts!!! any takers? haha..probably when i do try and save some money..spent too much on presents during christmas..tsk..anyway..the cake was really darn good..my favourite kind of cake..really really really rich and sinful..haha..and yay! i got to take a quarter of the cake home! haha..yeah..and and and...while i was waiting for the lift to go down to my place his mum was like calling "kat kat kat" so i went back to his gate and guess what? she said she was actually looking for a white cardi..hahahaaa..well done man..hurhur..two happy people..his mum happy with the white cardi and me happy that i bought the right present (:
came down..changed..went for a walk with jy to pass someone smthg..came back..walked the dog..yeah..its nice..really its nice..to be ok with his parents..and for my parents to be totally alright with him..it just makes this LDR a lot more bearable..and i really thank God for it..honestly i dont think all this would have happened so smoothly without it being His work..right from the beginning..from me somehow getting to know Edwin..then Edwin introducing me to jy..even for jy to move into my condo and the same block..and both side's parents being so open and fun people..amazing..truly..His planning is incredible (:

i can barely keep my eyes open, its 1254am, and i have to wake up in about 6hrs time for breakkie with jun yuan but here i am blogging.
haha.
its my birthday!!!
i turned 20 about 56minutes ago.
hurhur.
but already i think ive had the best birthday so far. haha.
even before my birthday, i got a present from wayne and lily, my favourite neighbours.
really pretty and dainty diamond earrings from Lee Hwa Jewellery.
then i got to spend the first few minutes with my dearest in the car with him driving, something i really like. (disclaimer :: i like being in the car with him, but i do not like his driving. hurhur)
i come home to a present on my bed from my brother.
a gorgeous little box to keep all my linglinglonglongs (ie. earrings.heaps of them).
and then, a few minutes later, a surprise present from my dearest.
a really slick braun buffel wallet, which for that, he has now got to survive on bread and water for the next month. (well, u can always cm downstairs for breakkie n dinners. haha)
and of course how could i forget all the lovely birthday wishes.
its really not the presents that matter.
nor the cost of the presents.
its being surrounded by the people you love that makes it just so wonderful and special.
thats why i always tell people to just come for my birthday celebration empty handed, because really, its the company that counts.
theres also some things that money cant buy.
like love. from parents, brother, relatives, friends, and of course that special someone.
but its really hard to be fully happy.
how do you celebrate, laugh and enjoy yourself when something happened to a really good friend?

someone bring me back to Goodwood Park Hotel for high-tea!
haha. ive always been someone who adored high-tea sessions. i mean, i love sweet stuff. and where better to find a fine assortment of cakes and what not than at high-tea buffets?
the goodwood park one was lovely. rather traditional and more elegant if you ask me. compared to the other high-teas ive been to at other hotels, this one has a much smaller selection of savories and sweets and the place is definitely very much smaller.
but this does have its plus points.
the selection, though small, was delicious and the ingredients were of quality and very fresh.
the presentation was also just so pretty and delicate. each little morsel perfectly prepared and displayed.
a small sitting area also means less crowd, more privacy and i suppose a more relaxed and cosy feeling.
unlike the other hotels where theres hoards of people, screaming kids and long queues just to get what you want to eat.
it felt so much more exclusive.
the cutlery and tableware was so so so pretty too. roses bordering the cups, saucers, plates and teapots.
me, michele and regina wanted to steal some home. haha. (but we didnt lahhhhhh.)
the tea was very good too. very fragrant. my vanilla ceylon was wonderful. michele and shawn's earl grey and regina's chamomile was equally good.
most of all, thanks Dr Ang, my literature tutor and lecturer in NUS for this delightful treat.
she is really one of those really dynamic and impactful lit tutors that deepens your love for literature no matter how tough the subject gets.
her passion for literature is truely amazing and im sure all those who have gone through her appreciate this very evident fact.
so glad she liked the little booklet my tutorial group did for her.
9 pages of heartfelt gratitude.
Thanks Dr. Ang!

walking around for 8hours on heels is a health hazard to feet.
you get blisters, peeling skin and sore soles.
trust me on it.
i did it today.
what an achievment man.
haha.
anyway, today, i spent a bomb.
i seriously did. i suppose all that repression during the pre-exam and exam period from shopping led to todays outburst.
but the thing is, i didnt buy a lot of stuff, just a few rather expensive stuff, and no not everything was for me.
i bought for him a crumpler bag and a zara tshirt.
i bought for myself a fox sweater, a guess tshirt and my gold esprit bag.
total bill: $345
bank account balance: (if im lucky, im too afraid to check) $155
insane in the membrane i tell you.
but honestly, i felt more satisfaction buying the stuff for him than for myself.
spoofing the mastercard advert would probably be the best way to describe it:
superman zara tshirt :: $50
crumpler bag :: $169
the smile on his face :: PRICELESS
giving is really such a joy.
but it got me thinking.
some people just keep taking and dont give.
well at least i dont remember receiving.
my point here is not that when i give i expect something of equal value in return.
thats not it. that just takes away the whole point of giving.
but what strikes me is how people can actually keep taking and taking and taking.
dont they learn anything?
dont they want to also put that same smile on someone else's face?
their parents? their siblings? their friends? even accquaintances? strangers?
truely it amazes me.
christmas is coming. hopefully these people will wise up and get into the mood of giving.
alright. im off. parents just came back from hongkong with heaps of food.
haha. just because they know i like sweet sweet stuff.
see? give.
and dont give just because you have extra to spare.
give when you know its gonna set u back a bit. or when u know it means you sacrificing that extra pair of shoes or tshirt or bag or what not.
give because you've been saving hard. not because you have extra cash. worst of all if the money is borrowed and not even yours.
give because you know its gonna make someone feel loved and happy.
22 more days to christmas!
(:
isnt it obvious my parents love you?
theyre even asking you to come along to hongkong with us next year.
how amazing is that?

I dont think ive ever felt so stressed up and panicky for any exam before.
honestly.
'o' levels, 'a' levels, never felt as horrid as this.
and the source of the stress is definitely not external pressure or expectations, this i am sure of.
then what?
i dont know.
*sigh
maybe its just that stupid 19th century literature module thats absolutely killing me.
i feel so so inadequate for that module.
so much info. too much info to absorb. a hundred and one things to memorise.
all of which i havent and feel like i havent done.
ok, so feeling inadequate is probably normal right.
right.
i know.
but this time, this paper, i feel so panicky its killing me.
maybe im just looking forward too much to getting my 1st three papers over than done with.
that i just keep thinking about the exams.
*breathe.
i need to breathe.
and not let it overwhelm me.

-but i am already overwhelmed aren't i?
its strange. im about to get baptised and yet, a simple task like exams, i dont seem to be able to trust God.
i feel more inadequate in my faith than in my exam prep.
maybe thats what it really is.
not so much about the exam, but the realisation that i'm not worthy to be called into His fellowship.
and that scares me more.
but with GOD, its never too late.

Father,
i am humbled by your love, the fact you had to die on the cross to save a wretched child like me. you never fail to manifest your love and care in every aspect of my life, but yet, when i feel overwhelmed, i cant seem to remember all those clear instances.
Lord, just go before me and prepare the way. Bring me back to you, and find your lost sheep who has gone astray. Comfort me and grant me the peace that can only come from you.
I worship you my God.
I love you.
Forever i will sing, forever i will be with you, as you are with me.
Rekindle the dying flame and ignite that spark that leads to a fire which will burn with passion and fervour for you and only you alone.
Remind me, for i so often forget, your presence especially in times of need and anxiety.
Jesus, you are my best friend, and you will always be cause nothing will ever change that.
Keep close to your little helpless child.
In Jesus' precious and holy name,
Amen.
I can do everything through CHRIST who strengthens me.
-Philippians 4:13
