where we met

2009-01-14T22:52:00.005+08:00

We met each other in this classroom. We were made to sit next to people we didn't know on the first day of school. I sat with Josh. We shook hands, and I remember vividly that I commented that his hand was cold.

That's us on the same slope 5 years ago!

We went back to nj some time at the end of last year. We stopped by to take some photos. Fond memories of how we met in tutorial room tc14. And the slope that we always climb when we are walking back from the canteen. Josh would also give me a push up the slope. These photos seemed to be able to freeze time! As how Josh puts it "crystallise our years of relationship since day one at tc14".

he's the sunflower man!
it's flower power.

23rd apr 2008

the day that i walked a lot with josh. went to ASL to get the internship formed signed, had lunch, realised that i left my thumbdrive there and went back to get it. went to buy paper at fancy paper and met jess! we walked to sunshine, and utterly shocked by the china man's service at the printing shop. he looked as if he doesn't know anything. no wonder no one goes to that printing shop. decided to go back to double A coz it's still the cheapest. but waited like 3

hrs. if only i have an A3 colour printer! life would be great.

met winnie at double A and we went to paradiz together.

xueying's bday celebrations

my darling sister's bday was great we ate at paradiz centre, with wxyj.

was great and exotic food that served non-stop haha. the fruit tea was the best!

i was really full after that!

and we had a funny waiter, overly talkative! that is trying very hard to entertain us.

and wr gave xy a really big birthday gift on the spot that throughly shocked us.

hmmmm

long time since we've gone out together coz everyone's busy with everything else.. love you guys! really!!! bdays are great gatherings ;)

my darling sister! pretty birthday girl ;)

xian jie, wei ren and xue ying

2008-04-12T23:03:00.002+08:00

the hell week was over. yes! it was. i wondered how i survived.

was totally mad rush.

but God is good in many ways.

stressed out me is really

scary. (shan't talk about it).

glad that me and josh could go for a great sushi dinner yesterday! was really full!

put the asian film fest was really disappointing.

the egyptian film 7th heaven was supposed to have subtitles.

but they screw it up (how could they). really wasted

so we watched the whole movie trying to guess what was happening...haha

was quite funny though.

coming of the theatre and still trying to guess what the movie was about.

can't wait for hols to start!

but still have 3 things to hand in plus an exam.

and still waiting for an internship to knock on my door.

2008-03-10T21:55:00.002+08:00

don't hesitate to call 999

i was taking mrt that day and i think i m paranoid! bet everyone's secretly hoping to spot him.
the phua chu kang one's my favourite!

weiting's 22nd birthday! 23th feb 2008

the ever tall ice queen hweeting and the sweet bday girl weiting!

korean food's super great! it's near china square! but china town's togi is still the best.

went to emily hill, the name 'yi ling' is so poetic. quite a dark and ulu place.

check out http://www.emilyhill.org/aboutus.html

we sat down here already at wild oats. sad to say they only served alcohol. so we had to leave!

so in the end we ended up at hang out hotel, there is a restaurant wild rocket. great dessert!!!!! the price is "great" too though!

and we decided to take a silly photo!! (josh took this for us!)

just realised that i've know these 2 friends for almost 10 years?? gosh. haha hope we'll never stop celebrating each other's birthday! ok?

love you guys lots.

lets eat more korean food and go for more urban hikes!

2008-02-26T20:10:00.002+08:00

sunday sch.

thats my student meaghan. she rebellious, sporty and humorous. sometimes maybe i feel frustrated teaching them. it's tough getting their attention and trying to make them listen. but last week i was encouraged again to do better. trying to get to know them better slowly. hope they want to know me better as well.

2008-02-26T19:35:00.003+08:00

valentine's day 2008. 12/2
romanticism vs consumerism?
nah romance wins.

nice weather, nice meal, nice view.
there is a reason why there is vday.
god made vday for busy singaporeans who need time out with their loved ones.
my stress level was great relieved.

view from our table at pier eleven. marina south pier.

great food. hope u are hungry looking at this.

even dessert looks so pretty.

moonlight. love the blues.

not forgetting us!

it's our fifth vday. toast! great time trying to remember what we did for each time. never mind that we forgot what happened for some years. the first vday still remains the clearest in my

very forgetful mind.

i love u.

2008-02-21T17:00:00.005+08:00

finding rest
FINALLY, the term break is almost here. this is exciting! this term has been so tiring. maybe coz i had to do my portfolio and almost 2 presentations and with the rest of the projects. now there's even no time for lunch. but i really thank god for bringing me thru! sometimes i wished i can put in more time in my work to do a better job, but it seems that there is always not enough time and i am always too tired to go further. well, the holidays are here, so finally getting some rest! know i haven't been updating so enjoy! so i am gg to mass blog now!

met up with agnes in the begining of the year, she's really a darling sister. i guess i dont mind listening to her over and over again because she's so truthful and real. hope that she's doing fine in her last sem in ntu!

me and josh had seafood with elisa, xm, shao and becks. had fun catching up! all of them are same yet different. esp elisa, she's still as tai tai-sh and motherly haha. yummy sea food but i don't have pictures of the damage done. it will be great to go back to tp for seafood again!

welcome back home
xuewei is back from china after one sem of studying at zhe jiang uni! really happy for her and proud of her having survived. xue wei's in our cell group so we had a cell group gathering at weiren's house and made a nice banner to hold when we pick her from the airport! agpc as usual caused lots of chaos at the airport. It was a little embarrassing to hold the banner. oh my. and the funny thing, we tried to take multiple shots so that when she comes out the camera would flash continuously at her. ironically, in our frenzy, there was no shots of her! but we were screaming her name like she's a star. the star of agpc ;)

from left, jonathan, weisin, wei ren, me, chae huah and hui shan at terminal 3, changi airport.

me and chae huah, acting like crazy fans.

weiren (group leader) the banner says 'welcome back xue wei'

yueting(ex group leader!) plus huishan (our fellowship leader)

Sending off

now that xuewei is back, grace is gg off to australia! curtin! at perth. she finally could further her studies after working for so long! will miss her and her emo states! all the best! hopefully will visit you one day, and shine for the Lord!

winnie's 22nd bday

winnie is 22! finally (she has an age phobia). had a western dinner at the vines. really great catching up though we see each other in church, seldom get to sit and talk. the food's not too bad for the price ;) had dessert at selegie soyabean! great stuff. and its so crowded! and they had to chase us out... how NICE!

winnie!

from left xianjie, winnie and xueying

josh and me.

chi new yr maddness
pardon me but i really don't like chinese new yr. i mean the food, the family gatherings is nice, but i find it too tiring when u have to entertain everyone. and such a contradiction when people only gather once a year? why wait till chi new yr? there are uncles and aunties who still don't know what schools their niece or newphews are studying? and is weird to go into homes and people don't even bother talking much and entertaining you. sooner or later the chinese new yr tradition will be gone. oh wells. still if only chinese new yr is like christmas.

the babes of agpc!

me and my sister! i'm glad we look different sometimes. at least i feel unique. but many people are saying that i look like my mother. maybe coz of my hair.

joshua's newphew. super cutie! at first he was super quiet. then he became super noisy. and the way he plays with the ball is scary. totally adorable. maybe all kids are cute, but there are only some that really catches my attention. however after playing with him for a long time, the afternoon i was really tired. kids really need lots of attention which is super tiring. you just can't stop them from being so hyper.

visiting at xuewei's house for our cell group outing. we ended up watching tv! after that drove them to wei ren's house and we watched local chinese drama! glad that wei ren's mum made chicken wings ;)

the cell group at my house. we played the table soccer and some lame game we saw on taiwan show.

vday!

2008-02-02T18:10:00.000+08:00

joshua's bday + jay chou concert 2008!
celebrated joshua's bday on the 17th jan thursday and we went for jay chou concert on 18th! he is 22!!!!!!!!!

17th jan
had dinner at changi village! yummy great food! wanted to try the red tea jelly but we were too full! we should go there more often, coz the food is cheap and super good! so we cut the cake at changi beach ;) and started playing with the sparklers that i got! the people at changi beach must be thinking that we are mad. oh wells.

here's joshua's version:

jay chou's concert!

we went to the new kallang more b4 the concert and we played the basketball game in the arcade! and i won him haha. something new to add on to the 'i beat joshua' list! (competitive )haha

my favourite part was fa ru xue when he played the gu zhen ;) wished he could sing more songs!!!! really liked the videos that went along with the songs. awesome!

josh booked the whole indoor stadium! cool huh!

2007-12-17T23:02:00.000+08:00

Wintry Hokkaido

back from hokkaido! lots of pictures and things to share ;)
the trip was a 7 day trip to sapporo (city in hokkaido) and other more rural areas.
practically snowed everyday! snow was like free of charge, every where and probably nothing fascinating for the locals there.

I saw the wonderful works of God, the mountains, the snow, volcanoes, hot springs, all so pretty.
Hokkaido is so different from tokyo. Tokyo (been there twice already) was much more fast paced while hokkaido's slightly more rural and slow paced, but still, nevertheless, very beautiful! there was also quite a lot of shopping, mostly food items la. and the people in the tour group really shopped for food non stop like there is no tomorrow? some of them were even shopping on the plane on our flight back! really amusing.

I was just thinking if i stayed in hokkaido i would be extremely depressed. Although it is pretty, the snow makes one feel sad.. like winter sonata. Plus, the day gets dark at about 3pm just after lunch!

dinner at one of the restaurants in sapporo airport upon arrival! fake food but still looks super yummy!

traditional ainu folk dance at the ainu museum at Porotokotan. Ainu is the indigenious people of hokkaido.

this is where the people used to live in. small houses with practically nothing!

superb seafood meal at a seafood market! super huge crab! its really super!!!!!!!!! oishi! we get to choose what we wanna eat at the market and they will prepare the sashimi and bring to the eating area upstairs! of course not cheap man! scallop+ sea urchin+ crab +...I'll definitely miss this meal the most.

the hot spring at di(4) yu(4) gu(3) or hell valley. smoky and the smell of burning sulphur attracted lots of crows. that night we stayed in a hot spring hotel, and me and my sis went for a dip at the hot spring nude. haha was a really funny experience.

dinner at the hot spring hotel! traditional japanese meal! also, the japanese would wear the robe to the hot spring as well.

snow mobile! was really fun! like driving a scooter! it was snowing heavily, and we were driving at 40km/hr. it was really cold and my fingers were really numb, cant move my finger, totally cant feel it and had to still press the button for it to move. poor thumb! freezing cold!

scallop rice! super nice as well!

city of sapporo! clock tower! finally saw like shopping malls so we were a little excited! Dimaru was like the best shopping mall there haha.

took a cable car to see the night view! could see where the pacific ocean and the sea of japan divided by sapporo!

wu(1) ling(2) ge(2), a star shaped park

japanese temple. started snowing when we went there. made the place even more beautiful. was very poetic and lyrical. the falling snow was very gentle.

will post more pictures, quite tired now! to be continued!

2007-11-28T14:47:00.000+08:00

2007-11-09T22:18:00.000+08:00

a photo that was taken months back! lin mu shi's sunday sch class! this was taken for disong's farewell! and there was full attendance for the class! its been a long time since we have full attendance, so really like this picture quite a lot! the '85, '86, '87ers ! and lin mu shi's leaving already... this week would be the last sunday school class. another pastor leaving agpc.. he's been a great help and encouragement to the church! god bless him building a new church in taiwan!

2007-11-01T23:41:00.000+08:00

today i read in proverbs chp 16: 3

" commit to the lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

this verse is short and sweet! but it really means a lot. to commit everything and whatever that you do to the lord. sounds so simple, coz you just have to commit! but at the same time there are so many struggles because you just forget about Him sometimes. but i like that as long as u do commit all that u do, ur plans WILL succeed. The verse doesn't say "might succeed". The word "will" is really encouraging!!

To all A and Os students, jia you jia you!

The final weeks of sch, really exciting yet stressful! cant wait for it to be over, and at the same time, the process is long and dreadful. Looking at all the people's work today at graphic design history class was really motivational... u just feel good and want to create more inspiring designs! since i started from the bottom, the only way is up!

hang in there ching!!!! jy!

2007-10-21T17:50:00.000+08:00

7th oct! yubao lao shi's farewell!

me and yubao lao shi.. she's my choir teacher and fellowhip teacher in charge.

youth fellowship!
glad i took this photo... we were taking turns to give our well-wishes to lao shi! and she started tearing...
her treat for breakfast at jln kayu prata! after which many had a stomachache! oh my and the church toilets were totally packed!

one thing about pastors is that they come and go, it is really hard to forge a close relationship with them. i really thank god for yu bao lao shi, she's always so on the ball, ready to serve, passionate and full of drive ;) take care and god bless! may you know what god has in mind for you!

2007-10-21T17:07:00.000+08:00

fire works festival 2007 17th aug! dunno why the pics turned out like that even after i used the fireworks mode. haha weird! met sean while watching fireworks. me and josh were just standing outside the window of GV, and he managed to spot us from the crowd! this is the 4th time we have watched the fireworks festival together! I remember the first yr we watched at esplanade, 2nd at merlion park, 3rd at marina square and 4th at marina square too!

the minds cafe. I cant believe we spent like 130 dollars at minds cafe. coz it was a sat and we sat there for like so long. Haha my cell group celebrated my bday early. great to see daniel come ;) and i won the game! the last game took really long and its really toturing! we were just waiting for someone to win haha, a never ending game that coz so much rivalry between us! we are still fine friends my dear cell group mates!

Bday celebrations 21st!

I didnt want to have a party. Everyone did.. haha, must be middle child syndrome that i have. wanting to be different! so sorry for those who were looking forward for me to organise one. yea, its too much of a hassle for me.. so nah.

on fri me and josh had buffet at the international seafood buffet restaurant. that restaurant always look so nice when i pass by it, guess because of its deco, but we were slightly disappointed!! the food isnt that great... hai, sad!!! but i got more stars from josh! so i am a happy girl! and he gave me my present long time ago! without the camera i wouldn't be able to take photos on my bday! sweet!

25th aug! sat suppose to meet up with my sec sch friends. hwee, weiting and josh. haha, but had a pleasant surprise coz becks and squidy came along too! long time since i met both of them. squid think i havent seen him in 3 years and becks 1 .5 years! gosh. haha, we got together because of our nj yr1 talent time group! me, josh, weiting, becks and squid. that was like so long ago. and becks and squid have been in my morning student venture prayer group! sitting at the amphi in the mornings to pray was really refreshing for me! lots of fond memories! squid's still the same! chatty, except his hair is long and he has transformed himself into a mugger! wooooo.

squid, weiting, becks,hwee, me and josh! at wheelock. thanks for the presents!!

me and josh! in our pyjamas! haha yawn! with giraffe and the pig! together they form pigraffe ;)

pyjamas party! dont ask me why.. haha it was just my sister's silly idea and i just decided to carry out for the fun. so everyone was wearing pyjamas at my party! we had yummy cake and ice cream plus my mum made cocktail punch! non-alcoholic! and we look really weird! haha, and cute :) started playing childhood games like country eraser and pick up sticks! thank you joshua dar for organising the games;) had lots of fun! this is the best group pic that we took! haha, the rest all r-rated! reliving our childhood! say bye to teenage!

the next day in the morning when we were about the go to church, my grandfather fell down while he was taking his usual morning stroll. luckily he didnt hurt his back, but it really hurts to see him in pain and bleeding so much coz he fell flat on his face. There was a pool of blood and i thought he was unconcious..Glad that he is back home and i really thank god for protecting my grandfather! he is already 93 and falling down for an old man like him is really dangerous. he is really strong and even after the fall he still said he was ok and didnt need the ambulance! tough old man isn't he! my grandfather is stubborn and strong! i hope that god will protect him forever! amen!

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

"There is a time for every thing and a season for every activity under the heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV

The night before national day was spent night cycling ard the island! I wasnt mentally prepared for it, coz i tot it was too ambitious, but God did protect us and sheltered us the whole night. There was good weather and i thought it was even more meaningful when we cycled ard Singapore for 47 km before the nation's bday! And it was more meaningful coz the crusaders prayed for the country during crossroads. Half way through the cycling journey i was really tired, my legs were aching, but i started singing and guess the singing helped me forget the pain and tiredness...

Though i missed the fireworks, watching the ndp at home on tv still made me touched. Singapore is probably more than just a home to me. It's my memories!

*

School has started for a week already, and as the verse says, there is a time for everything.. holidays are over! (sad) though i am still in a holiday mood...now is the time to work hard! as much as i wanna work hard, i really do hope that i wont be too caught up with trying hard to do well and forgetting about the process of learning.

I only have 2 more years in school! And if schooling life is going to end soon, i should cherish it! Watching 'the secret' reminded me of jc days! haa, and erm made me feel guilty about my piano skills haa. Hopefully the show has some motivating effect on me! And i am so glad that i watched the movie. the secret to the show was really amazing! So those who know the secret must not tell anyone!!! so mysterious, scary but yet it's a beauty! It reminds me of the movie the prestige! the twist is so good that you would never expect it!

Watched another movie today with josh! We watched 2 movies in a row, was our first time doing that! Rush hour was funny but a pity it was too short!! But i am still amazed at the rate chris tucker speaks!

this is the funniest part of the show i guess ! the rate at which the 2 conversed... haha amazing!

its either a giant prawn, or a lobster! whoooooo. and it was super huge, super scared when i saw it... it looked more like a scorpion to me! ultra long feelers too. some of the kids came over to look at our catch haa they were shocked too. gee and one of the small prawn aka lobster died today coz it got bullied by the big one in the fish tank. sad case. shouldn't have put them together! there's a small one hiding behind the pump guess it is used to hiding under large rocks??

I've read one book from the catholic bible today, i thought it would be meaningful to share about it! And Rembrandt actually painted a scene from the book!

Rembrandt: Tobit, Anna and the Kid (1626)
This Painting by Rembrandt, decipts a scene from the book of Tobit found in the catholic bible, a story from the Apocrypha which literally means 'hidden'. The Apocrypha contains books that form part of the Jewish and Christian tradition but are only included among the canon of the Holy Scriptures by the Catholic Church.

The fictional story is about a man named Tobit who was put to the test when he became bankrupt and blind after doing a good deed. God answered their prayers and sends an angel named Raphael to earth to save Tobit and his family. And the story goes on about how Tobit's son, Tobias married a women Sarah after he successfully chased a demon which caused the death of all her 7 husbands after they got married to her.

I think the book's theme is basically forgiveness and how God will aid and reward the faithful who suffered and plus, Raphael the angel disguised as Torbit's relative to help them was really interesting to note as the Christian bible hardly speaks much of angels other than probably Gabriel.

30.

Recently my sunday sch teacher gave us an exercise, that is, to pray for 30 mins everyday. that probably sounded really easy. it's only 30 mins of your life. When i tried it the first day, it was shocking. I prayed as long as i could and it only lasted through 5mins! I found myself looking at my watch in despair. this cant be it. I ran out of things to say to my Lord. Then i realised that i was so weak in my prayer life! Focusing 30 mins just seemed tough.

James Long wrote in "Why is God silent" that prayer is companionship.

"..some of the most sublime moments of companionship are moments shared in silence. Perhaps it can be the same with God. Perhaps an even deeper level of communication begins when we quit talking. Then, there is the silence, we both became articulate."

Christ himself prayed all night, but does that mean he spoke to God all night? non-stop? Maybe prayer didnt really have to be spoken out.

vesak day was spent having lunch with my grandma and my family. quite glad that my grandma is recovering quite well.. she ate so much ! compared to that time when i visited her at her house and she couldnt eat anything. that was really amazing!

the night was spent having dinner at esmond's house! his mum makes really delicious food! our cell group must go back to his house haa. really nice to have a mum that cooks so well! no wonder esmond likes to eat so much! we had yummy bee hoon and dumplings! and we played cluedo.. my cell group is crazy about the board game.. haha. and then we spent the rest of the time celebrating huimin's bday... she rarely joins us though.. but glad that she came! yummy mango cake bought by disong and there was apple crumble plus ice cream made my esmond's mum!! the rest of the nite was spent guessing scenarios haha. that seaweed one is still by far the best!

though my cell group may not be as noisy or loud or comical as the other groups. i think we are slowing opening up to each other..love them in their own way...thank god for them ;)

fri was spent playing tennis with esmond, disong and josh! its a fun game.. hope can play again.. and improve! arm hurts though.. warning.. playing in the rain is bad for health haa

sat morning a group of us played badminton.. wha so xiong. my arm and butt still hurts now from tennis and badminton.. haa. but i feel fit, which is good! go calories !

death
everyone is afraid of death.
but we all have to face it one day.
at my death bed...
i wonder if scenes of my life would appear as series of flash backs...
who would i see? who would come into my mind? is it you?
would i leave this place with regrets.
would there be a stream of light? which i will follow in the tunnel of darkness?
and as i knock on the gates of heaven...
there stands Jesus welcoming me!
Death has been swallowed up in victory in Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:51-57
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

may you rest in peace. amen.

2007-05-05T23:11:00.000+08:00

some quotes that i like from the book i am reading..My Sister's Keeper

"Kids dont stay where they're supposed to. You turn around and see she's not three but thirteen. Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves." -- a parent

I wished i grew up slower. and had more of a childhood with my parents. did i grow up too fast?

" 'Once i asked my mom why stars shine. She said they were night-lights, so the angels could find their way around in heaven. But when i asked my dad, he started talking about gas, and somehow i put it all together and figured that the food God served caused multiple trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night.' "-- a child

A child's is so simple minded. They make complicated things seemed to simple and they paint the most beautiful pictures!

" 'He used to call me jewel,' I said, that was enough to make me start crying. A jewel's just a rock put under enormous heat and pressure. Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look."

Everyone of us is a piece of jewel in God's eyes. I wanna see myself as a rare jem. So are you! All so dear and unique to our heavenly father.

i'm back from church, everyone is so well dressed and happy haha. the cheena atmosphere gee. got some ang baos! well i'm just plain happy haha. seeing everyone happy makes me happy too ;) and disong's dad came for service today. didn't really say hi, but really glad that he was willing to come to church ;)
wanna blog about a movie that i watched with josh yesterday. its a korean movie called A MOMENT TO REMEMBER. its really a sad show. this time i cried worst than HAPPY BIRTHDAY but not as bad as LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (that is by far the worst 'make-me-cry-movie').
read on if you are interested to know about the movie!

The lead actress Soo-Jin contracted Alzheimer's Disease.. a disease usually reserved for the ailing elderly has now been bestowed upon the twenty-seven year-old girl, who's beautiful and recently married. Her husband, Choi Chol-Soo, was really sad when he found out. The line when she said "There is an eraser in my head" to him starts the real drama.

She starts forgetting how to get home and in severe stages her husband. Her husband was heartbrokened when she called out her ex bf's name and said " I LOVE YOU", looking into his eyes. That's because she forgets the recent memories first. Later when she found out what she said and recalls the incident, she was shattered because she knows that she could even forget him one day. What is a person without memories? She might even forget who she is. She had to leave him and constantly remind herself that she loves him only. Ironically her dad ever said to her that " Being able to forget easily is a gift."

I think memories are what make up a person... isn't it. without any memories whether happy or sad.. is there anything worth living for?

vday celebration! tuesday 13th feb! we had dinner at sentosa, there is this restaurant called IL LIDO at the sentosa golf club. yummy food, great view of the sunset, and the man! perfect. cheers! think we were the youngest there, the people there drove mercs and bms. haha. we seemed a little out of place and underage. gee. the funny thing was we were asked to order drinks. i don't even know what to drink man. trying to act old haha. it's a little embarrassing. the waiter was really nice. he explained to us what the main course was in his best description as the menue was in french or was it italian. and he kept asking how was the food. i could only say "yup good! good! " haha.

this is our 4th vday! that's quite a few. wow. i love vday! not for flowers , gifts or atmosphere. but a day dedicated to be spent with your loved ones. and the man that made it right. i hope there will be many more vdays to come for jc! thanks josh for everything that you've done for me!

me and cheeky smile. my hair looks really flat here. -_-!

josh! blue shirt rocks! the guy behind is the super friendly waiter! always on his toes to serve us!

our appetizer! beef with cheese! and seafood soup!

the view was great! lovely sunset!

toast! great! not too thick! the bowl is cute and lovely! unfortuately i forgot to take a photo of the main course. think i was too hungry. what a pig

dessert! chocoloate cake! with coffee sorbet.

literally candle light!
a picture of us before we left!

2007-02-16T18:10:00.000+08:00

2 weeks ago was madness, i guess i just had too many things to do (i didn't know why) and think all the pimples were a good sign huh. but i'm feeling so much better for the past 2 weeks. guess i am back to the normal unstressed mood again ;) and i can't believed that i broke down. coz i felt really bad for that...

lets recall what i did..*recalls*

1) winnie's 21st!
happy birthday winnie!!!!!! hugs! hope you like the present that me and xy made! yup yup! i've know her for a really long time since pri school! and we literally grew up in church together. she a wonderful sis and i'm very glad to have a friend who cherishes friendship so much! winnie: hope that you will grow as a pretty lady! the party was really cool coz there was a live band haha. though there were not enough seats la. haha but great food and great bbq chicken wings! yummy!!!!!!!

2) yongkwong's 21st!
in one weekend i had to attend 2 parties! haha. yongkwong's party was funny coz jel's party was just next door. haha, we wanted to steal the food! happy to see my ex s22 friends esp alene and hl!! and there was a special dish of jelly with durian.. haha, which got me really sick after a while. weird combo haha. and singapore won the asean football match ahaha. me and josh watching during the party haha. yayayay!

3) i rebonded my hair! i know i just cut my hair.. but it's just so messy..and my friends keep telling me to do something about it. and i was really upset when i went home none of my family members commented that it was nice. hai. its really sucky. i tot i just wasted 3 hrs of my life and money. but my friends thought it was so much better. had my family gotten use to the messy look that when my hair is straight they thought it was ugly???? and i think weiren couldnt even tell when i rebonded my hair. gosh.

4) supper with the gang wxy ( winnie, wr, xj, xy, yiqing[me] + extra disong). the names are placed in this order for a special reason. haha. and disong is really too extra.. d seems too far away from w! and we havent met up since last yr's xy's bday. though we meet every week? that's really shocking. we met at chomp chomp and i had to parallel park. gee. sat at coffee bean after that.

past yr had been a scary one.. yueting was right about my 'out of character'. think youth talk made me learn a very big lesson.. hope this yr would be good! i'm disappointed that i cant go missionary trip with them. hai, hopefully i'll get to go this yr! coz i really wanna go!!!!!

5) weekend shopping: went shopping with josh and i got some clothes! at bugis. really happy! and i think i better understand what suits me and what doesn't! sorry for the walking.. both josh and i hate walking aimlessly!!! we were really tired and thirsty after that!

6) man u is back! think they are doing great! jy man u! whohohoho

5) happy birthday! finally caught the movie that i wanted to watch! by rene liu and louis koo! think this show reminds me of xin dong by takeshi and gigi leung which i watched in sec sch! so i really wanted to watch this! and i cried while watching the show. haiyoyoyo.
actually i don't understand rene's role as xiao mi...dont' they like each other but they just didn't want to be together? or they didn't want to commit yet. and...the sad part was really when she was ready to get back with him and he said he was getting married. she drove her car ard the carpark like mad and cried like mad. she thought they could be together happily and suddenly, all her dreams were broken and shattered.

6) vday lilies! josh dropped by my house on the 12th and passed my lilies! was a pleasant surprise haha. didn't expect him to give me on monday ;) but ya, the 12th is our official vday! the idea of flowers on vday is conflicting. haha. when josh asked me what kind of flowers i prefer i would tell him its ok.. no need flowers... but when he gave it to me.. i was very happy! girls are girls isn't it. no wonder guys find it hard to understand us.

7) i wanna thank yueting for her vday card! she's really sweet! the postcard says :

KEEP THE FAITH. If you don't see the stars twinkle at night, it doesn't mean that they are not there. They're just hidden behind the clouds and you will surely see them shine again.

how nice! i'm starting to look up into the nite sky again! i miss star gazing!

seeking beyond. youth camp 29th dec 06 to 1st jan 07

i m back from my church camp! seeking beyond!
hopefully i will get more photos!
it's been a long time since we gathered like this before. It was a really good time to build broken/neglected friendships and a relationship with God once more. Although i may not have interacted with everyone in the camp, i really enjoyed myself despite moments when i felt down and i wanted to go back to my own shell.lost without some members.

the games were really fun haha. thoroughly enjoyed it! and i love yellow! such a bright nice colour and a nice group! the cooking game is great though i didn;t really contribute much coz i practically cant cook huh. haha, but we worked together for the better!

throughout the camp i saw myself in the past. when i was still in junior youth fellowship. the time spent planning for the previous camps including 'quan xin the ren' and 'shen ming de ying xiang'. i really miss those days. now in the youth fellowship, things seemed a little different when your friends are busy with other things, other commitments and we are all separated. maybe thats part of growing up. soon i will be 21!

and i think me and wr are fine now i guess. haha, i dunno, i just feel that we can still clique when we are together. coz for all the time that i've know him, we've been suaning each other?

i m also touched by some who were very willing to share and to be truthful infront of God! and the sermons serve to remind me of who i am and who God is. which is a great affirmation to me. It's really great to start a new year with all these things in mind. and ending 2006 with a blast campfire and countdown! i really hope 2007 would be a even better yr for me!

to the youths: always believe in that you can! cherish the time when you are given the great opportunity to lead others and work for God.
looking at the youths, i am really afraid that one day i would not be able to have that much fun when i grow old. would i be able to still jump up and down crazily doing the 'ya!!!!!!' cheer? or play water games and stupid 'hai dai' game. maybe i am thinking too much. but that worries me!

cherish your youth! cheers!

2006-12-28T20:52:00.000+08:00

25th dec.
i couldn't wake up today! i woke up like 1.30 pm crazy man! haha cant believe that i slept so long! didn't do anything much. had such a big headache! dinner was spent at merchant court swissotel! great buffet! yummy food!!! totally full to the brim!

watched love actually with josh again! its a great movie! we watched it like 3 yrs ago at suntec haha, i think that was the first movie that we watched together?! josh gave me my christmas surprise! i love light sticks and christmas lights, it makes me happy!

26th dec.
went k boxing with weiting and hwee ting! i totally agree that weiting is an all time super k boxer! haha. she practically sang every song!! whoohoho
had to put 5 hrs worth of coupons at clementi.. think i am sammant paranoid now! no more sammants for 2007!

2006-12-28T20:26:00.000+08:00

sunday 24th dec!

sunday school was so horrible. think we totally failed and i was a little disappointed with our performance...like we could have done so much better and we got last! how could that be!!!!!! urgh. and the games was like haha, what the.. dunno what we playing. but i really thank esmond's dad for organising everything. respect!

a few of the youths are getting baptised. really happy for them! i got baptised like 4 yrs ago! oh my! thats so long! watching them grow ;)

and i went up to present them with their gifts. haha. i remembered that aaron was the one giving us flowers 4 yrs ago. thats like really long!

lunch was spent and joshua's house. had turkey ham and yummy food!!!

went for the christmas party with joshua! wha the youths were really high! so many of them! was really rush coz wr told us to go at 10.45 then later become 10pm! what the! his house was totally packed with church people! got a free tour ard his house and its really nice! think i like the jamming room and the back the best! ;)
the party started and they were like chasing the adults out of the house. so bad huh. haha. we started singing and everything. everyone was jumping and all. i felt a little odd. think i am getting old. i cant jump anymore? or maybe i was afraid that josh will get some culture shock.. haha dunno.

had k box session later. and was suppose to be competition then became sabo session and dedication session! me and josh got sabo to sing shan hu hai. i have yet to mastered jay chou's 'shan hu hai'! arrgh! why! esmond sang for donna as well.. the shocker was 'weiren's-hand-over-xueying's-shoulders' moment. awwwwww. k la, kidding. weiren must have done it to please the crowd. haha.

we sang the song 'chi pang' for winnie. from the four of us! that's one of my favourite song all time! and yea i think that it could be a turning point for our friendship. i miss my friends! so much so much! and by the time the song ended winnie was like in tears.i picked up the copy of youth talk today and the state of it now was really saddening. i'll make sure youth talk will be a blast next yr!

2006-12-28T20:21:00.000+08:00

minutes before the performance started all the guys went totally mad. dunno why they so 'high'. i was probably too nervous to laugh. but i can tell that everyone was excited about it! was glad that joshua, serene, weiting and hweeting came! and my parents were there to support me and my sis too. the performance started with games and initially was weiting who was suppose to go up. but she so shy.. sabo joshua ! haha oh well excited to see him on stage but was so worried that the game would be too difficult haha.

when i was onstage i was trying to keep calm, glad me, weiren and xueying did a good job, though our 'mo qi' could be better in many more ways.

the night was filled with love and i am really happy that my friends could come, coz it meant so much to me. and most importantly, they could experience god's love@ christmas and god's love at agpc!

i am also glad that wei ren and i are on better terms now because of the christmas performance ;)

after the performance me and my friends went to eat prata! was a little hungry haha. yummy food!! and its funny how serene managed to come to my church after going one big round to dunno where. ahah.so cute!

after dinner they dropped by my house for a visit and we took some photos!

s22 class chalet

i hate the rain, it spoiled the fun. no bbq, but we had kfc and pizza in our room... nearly tot no one's gonna come haha and raining even worst! thank god yeah. haha. at least you people came ;) it just kept raining the whole night!! super crazy. oh wells at least we are under a shelter ;)
morning breakfast was good! wanted to go eat the minced meat noodles at blk 85 bedok.. but its not opened. then i realised that i ate that before haha, so funny. vaguely remembered i was there for food hunt during the hall orientation camp. gee. went home and watched oc!

2006-12-07T23:19:00.000+08:00

went to watch THE LAST KISS on wed with my josh! before that we had a nice lunch at suki shushi! yummy i love jap food!!!!

watched because i like the actress Rachel Bilson aka Summer from oc. she's so totally summer in the movie! she's hot!

some of my favorite quotes from the movie.. really touching!

jenna's father said this to Micheal: What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.You can't fail if you never give up.

Micheal: I've been thinking about my life lately, and everything feels pretty planned out. There's no more surprises. probably why he looked for kim. because she made him feel young and surprised. he got tired of jenna???

this movie is all about relationships and the choices that we make. the ending was touching. it was hard to imagine how a women can forgive a man that has betrayed her. it's so hard to forget. i wished that micheal didn't tell jenna the truth. because i rather not know! we all want pretty fairy tale endings isn't it. but what are the chances? there are bound to be problems in a relationship and we must face it no matter what. sometimes we just hurt the people we love... weird huh.too bad that the ending was really abrupt. but its a nice movie though.

there is a far deeper meaning to the word love.

2006-11-30T23:07:00.000+08:00

part of the singapore biennale 2006, on indus rd. so glad that its now brought back to school! went back to sch to assemble it, took almost an hour plus! but i really love the structure! glad i was part of it ;)nice working with the artists!

2006-11-27T23:15:00.000+08:00

watched this today! amazing plot! the g@me

2006-11-27T22:11:00.000+08:00

sunday!
church was busy, but i didn't feel so burdened! maybe coz schools over! hee, so i am happy!

choir was messy, i m suppose to teach them, but i couldn't do anything to stop them from talking except shouting! haha, i used to shout at the kids when i was teaching gym, and i figured that if they don't behave like adults should, shout at them like little babies. hai, what to do? gee. its weird how me and yue ting agreed that people wont listen to peers who are just 5-10 years older... the teacher must be at least 20 years older before anyone would listen! coz the moment lao shi stepped in the voice level lowered! arrgh

the dance that me and my sis, min and dijie did was great! haha, spent thursday discussing with my sis and thought of the steps. and we tricked them for the slow dance, so we were happy! hee. still find it funny how guys and girls don't wanna dance with each other and there was this invisible barrier between their hands haha

finished the 3 episodes of oc, and i cried like mad! haha. i miss marissa! everyone misses her!!! whats oc without her...

2006-11-27T21:50:00.000+08:00

josh's left ankle, i can't even see where is the ankle. it became a big ball.

suppose to watch josh play soccer on sat morning, but my parents used the car!... and dear sprained his ankle! his ankle swelled up like a big ball.. it looks really pain...ouch! must get well soon dear!

went for the invigilator job briefing and met mei ling! so qiao, looks like there are lots of ntu students there! glad i have a job! yy was there too, he looks different from jc.. haha, more chinese! hee

went to expo for liang jing ru's concert! we managed to get free tickets! and i tot we were very lucky, but there was one whole row of people queuing up from the zebra crossing all the way to max pavillion! and i think josh walked till his leg pain... expo is really big for a crippled man... glad we catch her concert though was a rainy day. i love her voice and her love songs ;)

spent the night having dinner with my family at ding tai feng, yummy food!

2006-11-27T21:42:00.000+08:00

christmas tree outside paragon! a nice guy offered to take for us!

watched casino royale on friday! great show, i love the twist! and orchard rd is so christmasy! i love christmas! the village is exactly the same as marche! why! hahaa. i didn't even know that marche is gone... !

2006-11-24T11:01:00.000+08:00

after 1 sem of hard work, i survived the first sem in vis com. happy with what i am doing now, not like foundation year, i find more pleasure working on the things that i like and enjoy ;)

reading the book 'for one more day' by mitch albom. it's a book from josh for our 3rd year anni. really good book, i love such inspirational books! long time since i read an touching book!

our 3rd year anni was spent shopping ard! and got josh a pair of nice leather shoes ;)hope it fits nicely!had dinner at a nice restaurant opposite the novena church called The Vines. had yummy food totally full. everything's great except the dessert could be better.its only our 3rd time there, though we officially adopted it as our restaurant 3 years ago?? gosh but so many things have changed over the three years. i miss the funny waiter who always served us with a smile.

oh, and when i went to the national lib to study last week, president Bush's wife was there.. i was so excited thought could catch Mr Bush in action..was really funny how the security guard cracked a lame joke about bushes. gee. funny people ard huh.

2006-11-09T20:34:00.000+08:00

horrors of clubbing
because of moc and mer production, i got to go see MOS and devil's bar. was really an eye opener coz its really my first time in a club. cool it may be..and yeah, think i got a shock of my life..think i'll never go back there. can't picture myself dancing, drinking and smoking my life away.

2006-10-15T00:54:00.000+08:00

even dogs are fighting. what's going on with the world? i still like rocky though i think brownie is small and looks cute. looks can be deceptive ya..he started being so naughty these days. peeing on the dinner room's carpet and coming into the house when he is not suppose to. and biting on rocky! the small dog bullying the big dog? and rocky's so nice not to retaliate. he's so much bigger! i admire rocky. i don't think being silent is a sign of weakness. he's even stronger for not showing his anger. i still like the good old loyal friend, rocky.

2006-10-14T22:49:00.001+08:00

2006-10-12T23:19:00.000+08:00

Quick updates!

*moc and mer production at devils bar!
was quite fun, first time there! devil's bar is really huge! moc and mer got drunk there and danced with some hot babes;)

* IVP track!
despite the last min preparation, our relay team managed 2nd;) was a great experience for me surrounded by the fastest runners haha. but had to pay $30 summant! what the! really bad luck day for me. Brought wei ting to the movie gathering! happy to meet esmond's girlfriend ;) she's super cute! We watched 'beautiful boxer'. i was a little disgusted by the whole show. i still find it hard to accept that kind of ideas. maybe i am too conservative?

*hwee's bday celebration
we celebrated at china town's coffee bean hee. planned a mini amazing race for hwee to complete. and it was really exciting smsing her and finding out where she was.. haha. glad she could find the place that we wanted her to go ;) had a yummy cheese cake. for dinner, we ate at a korean restaurant. yummy food! but all spicy! haha, the lady boss's really nice ;)after dinner we were so full, walked ard china town and explored the place!

*last week was a terrible week for me. ever felt so helpless, tired, sick, angry and sad. it was a mixture of emotions. just glad that i did what i need to. maybe things never would be the same again. just disappointed that this is how things turned out despite the good intentions. uth talk is out. but so what. nothing is acheived.. nothing. i just hope this nonsense will end, it will drive me crazy soon. felt like giving up while doing the layout.. but i know i had to continue no matter what.

* mid autumn festival!
went with church to the chinese garden. brought josh along! parking was $3 there! trying to kill lor! nice lights haha, but we soon realised that the chinese garden is so small! played some fun fair games and josh managed to win a soft toy which looks like my new dog Brownie!

*My new dog
Brownie! my dad got him from the seletar airbase, someone gave it to him! he's really cute at first. now he's more like a devil to me! i can't stand it when he pee on the carpet! and he kept biting my other old dog rocky! it's so irritating! how could he bully poor rocky? and rocky is so nice and friendly! arrgh! Brownie's really naughty!

jogging baotanical gardens

went jogging at botanical gardens today with josh! botanical gardens seemed so clean and nice now with visitor centre, food court, gift shops etc. hee. but i didn't see the canon ball tree that i always see when i go during my pri school years. love the palm valley, picnic there one day k!

it started drizzling and we went the wrong direction, so we were further from where we parked. and before we knew it, it was raining so heavily. pouring with thunder! we were stranded in a small shelter and think we sat there for more than an hour!

in the end cant wait so we ran all the way back to the car park, super drenched! soaked pigs hee. we should have done that earlier instead of waiting. haha, but the waiting was fun. played stupid games ;)

2006-09-13T22:53:00.000+08:00

moc moc and mer mer!

was helping out in the singapore biennale and the filming of moc and mer. i didn't really get to like erm film. mainly just help out with the costume and everything. but it was still fun! filming is so tiring! but everywhere we go, we get so much attention! hee. and i got to take the dhl hot air balloon! super fun =)

the actors for moc and mer are very nice too. hee, i'm like their "nanny". give them water, help them take costume! they are really hot in the big costume! and some of them had rashes! gosh. the filming process was long and tiring.thank god i am not in film. muahaha

2006-09-13T20:28:00.000+08:00

the devil wears prada

i don't wanna be a devil. neither do i wanna wear prada. haha. nevertheless, its a good movie. they do have nice clothes, but to me the question of time really made me wonder what am i doing to my life. i can totally understand how Andy feels. Her struggle to look good, yet at the same time she doesn't want to be materialistic and superficial like the other girls. She wants to excel in her job, and she realised that her job became more than a job. It's hard to balance and it's so conflicting. Do we judge people by what they wear?

this movie is so similar to Click. haha, just a different story behind and a different character. but both equally inspiring!

rating 4/5 stars!

monday 10th july-- the day where everything went very wrong.

helped jess's sister with the hair colour survey. nothing much to do at home anyway. but was a little screwed up and irritated. hai, so disappointed in myself that i can't calm down. first was i missed the shuttle bus which i am supposed to take. so i am very late, then i decided to drive. i actually was already on orchard rd, but while talking to weiting on the phone and trying to find a place to park, without full concentration, i found myself back on to CTE again. and i was super angry coz we wont told about the dress code. so in the end i exited the next exit and was somewhere at bukit timah. didn't really know where i was going but i entered another erp gantry! on bencoleen street. it's crazy man. and after that i found myself at smu and fort canning. finally i managed to find killiney rd but kena shocked when there was another erp there! it's crazy man, i went past 3 erps in that 30 mins! super angry. my transport cost cannot even be covered by the surveys that we get people to do. arrghhhh i hate the ERP.

it didn't help that the watson's people were super unfriendly and the l'oreal side didn't even contact the watson's people and said we need some approval letter. super messed up! so we waited for half hr, getting a scolding before we can start work. and it also super didn't help that my friends were already so sian diaoz that they wanted to leave.

and being the responsible me, even in such a situation that i feel mistreated, i still had to continue doing it. plus, i still had to answer to jess's sis rite. not very nice to like walk away on her. hai. in e end had to complete the survey forms managed finish 62! was quite happy!yay!
proud of myself that i did it.. And besides i have to cover my transport fees!

and my parking fee amounted to 7 plus. it's scary isn't it. hai, i didn't even earn anything la. still had to top up cash card to pay the parking. sian.

my apologies to my friends, didn't know it would be so cocked up. really sorry. thanks for the help. it's my fault in that i never checked properly with the company for instructions, dunno if i forced you guys into this or what. but to me it's my responsibility since i already taken up the job. i m obliged to complete it.yup yup. glad that i managed to finish tallying the surveys! phew. well done!

2006-07-11T17:09:00.000+08:00

C.A.N collect challenge! proud to be a volunteer. each received a voucher MPH!

2006-07-11T16:29:00.000+08:00

9th july. sunday
C.A.N collect challenge.

me and josh went there late, felt so pai seh when the whole com service team was already there. and we came just in time for our lunch. but we had valid reason for being late ok. hmmph* and had to change into the tshirt given at the void deck. was struggling a bit but was quite exciting hah.

we were supposed to go door to door in hougang to collect can food from the residents. was so glad that the houses that i went actually were willing to donate. while josh, wt and hwee didn't even have any haha. see, i know i m good at doing such things. i got the "friendly-make them feel bad-sympathetic-i should donate" face!

and i was even more surprised when this family actually donated one whole big box of can food filled with milk powder for the old folks! and from that moment, i became the TOP CAN COLLECTOR! haha

some weird things collected include chocolate! uh, what else..cup noodles and maggie mee.

after that it started pouring! and my poor birkenstocks! ah, so sad, it's like soaked!

ate at this hongkong cafe at kovan, the atmosphere there is quite nice. i love cafes that have good interior design! now going to a restaurant and cafe is not just about the food anymore, i would go for the atmosphere and ambience before food !

we ordered something similar to ice kachang.. but the mango version. ice is much finer! hehe. nice yummy!!
*

josh came over to watch the world cup finals with me. before that we played pool with my sis.. i dunno why i am so lousy at pool now. so sad. the beginner's luck is gone.

the match was quite exciting, except that me and josh supporting different teams la, and we were ENEMIES then. haha. when france scored first josh was totally torn, then when italy scored back i was quite sad and angry. hah, but we became FRIENDS again after that. the rest of the match became very slow when both teams not scoring. nearly fell asleep. josh was so rite when he said "only people who don't know soccer will support france" coz my mum, me and my sis did. oh wells.

when zidane got a red card i was totally shock.urggh so angry with him, nearly flipped! pissed off with his actions. so much hype about the france spirit and everything then he go and hit that guy with his head!??! so much respect for him lor. irritating rite. from "hero to zero"! he lost the world cup for france at that point of time.

2006-07-11T16:11:00.000+08:00

sat 8th july
went to hall in the morning. the place look just the same, great memories. long time since i last went back though. glad that the banner painting went well! glad to see my designs up on the banners. and some were very careful when painting the edges! so touched!

*
bbq
havent gotten any pictures of the bbq, was too tired to take photos all the time! was initially disappointed that aaron, esmond , daniel, jia wen etc couldn't make it. and johnathan promised that he would come but didn't hai.why why! all don't give me face.

glad that it didn't rain. wanted to play soccer but played touch in the end. a lot of people don't know how to play, so it was really hard to teach... and it's really hard to play when everyone don't understand the game. bleah. bear with it ba. in the end there were still some trys despite the small space that we had. and we got to raise the cup! haha

during the bbq again i was too lazy to bbq. it's just one of those days that i didn't want to do anything. ended up waitin for people to serve. (i know thats quite bad) opps. some were playing bball etc. my house seems nicer at nite... haha, by the pool, under the sky, slight breeze... sitting on the grass. almost could have picnic le. hah.

the food's great, hah, as the organiser you can choose what food you want! cool yeah! all my favourite!

ended up gossiping with some of them. coz i was sick of the lame games that we played in jc. i think i grew out of that. it's not that fun already eh.

glad they had fun, i had too, except i hate being the host sometimes. it's hard to enjoy yourself while having to take care of everything though i really didn't do much.

other than the poor broken plant ( the guys were the culprits while playing soccer), me and my house is still in one piece.

proud of my cell group, our cell group outing got 5people who went for the outing! close to full attendance! thank god that the steamboat at amk is not open! so i don't have to eat steam boat again. ate at breeks and ordered their mocktails! one of each, was quite pai seh the waitress was like diaoz. and there wasn't 'mocktail of the day'. what a joke! went arcade after that, guys went crazy and it was daytona and bishy bashy again! *faints* took some photos, the guys were either too shy (wanna hide from cam) and the chian bian (feel like beating him up) look. why can't guys smile and be as photogenic like me and yueting! smile when you are taking photos!

2006-07-03T19:32:00.000+08:00

s22 class outing 1/7/06

(from left: josh, me, michelia, huilin, yongkwong, alene) we had our class outing on sat, unfortunately had only 6 of us! oh well, quite used to such situations , but the class outing must go on!
had so much fun ! we ate steam boat at marina south, was terribly hot! and i serious never ate steamboat there b4, not with friends. gee, just can't believe that everyone can stand the heat there. and they have live prawns and crabs! we were damn freaked out when the prawns which were still alive we jumping out of the plastic container! muahah, and we started screaming, and b4 we knew it, the prawns were jumping all over on the table. haha. the other tables were like looking at us. was really pai seh. and half way we started taking photos, and everyone else were like looking at us too...! in the end no one ate the crab.. hah, me and josh tackled it all. the prawns were nice and fresh! yummy! and yongkwong really really really slim down a lot!!!! so nice to see him thin! i wanted to train him up in jc, but i guess army did the tick! he probably lost 20 kg or what? we're happy for him!

played arcade after that, was just next to the steam boat place. as usual mich wanted to play bishy bashy. feel like bashing up the game, it's damn lame. we played daytona, and i dunno why i kept getting last. diaoz and josh was like one lap ahead of me. so paiseh, must be something wrong with the machine! ahaha(excuses) i'll train up, next time maybe can be first when i learn how to 'dift'!

after arcade was 9 plus, decided to head for tcc! the nice and cozy one at boat quay, last time went with danny, jovian and nic. was really a nice hangout to chill! tough finding it, and i think i gave the wrong directions as josh was driving us there! sorry dear, hah, girls = bad direction sense.

next was soccer! england vs portugal. was so sad we didn't manage to find a bar that has a place for us, and all need to pay for the drinks. in the end, we stood outside fosters. quite pathetic la, but it was a nice good experience! and england had to lose! why why why??? so sad for england, they are out of the world cup, everytime got penalty shoot out, my heart like going to jump out! so scary! heart attack ! so close yet so far. why can't the ball find the net! and somehow, though we have faith in england, we knew that they cant win. and lampard and gerald had to miss the penalty!!! how come!!!!? damn sad. so we stood from 11pm to 1 plus! haha, train legs ah, alene was like leaning on the car parked at the side of the road! and poor huilin was so tired that she was falling asleep on the road side, poor girl.

now can only look forward to the english premeirship again! slept at 3am.

was a fun filled day. ups and downs. glad to see my friends again! guess we all grew, almost 20 now... not old yeah! miss the jc days, miss s22. study hard but played hard as well. now that we are in uni/ns, all at a different stage of our lives, i'm surprised how fast time flies. i can picture everyone of us in the nj in the grey uniform..and now, here we are, grown up to be women and men!

jj singapore concert 2006 beatbox pt 2

2006-06-26T21:26:00.000+08:00

jj-concert 240606

was a great concert! jj's so talented, my favourite part was his beat box! and of course the love songs were great! danced quite well too! all the hip hop! hee, and got special guests jin sha and ah du!!! remembered the day clearly when ah du came to rgs for his first 'xiao yuan yan chang hui'! and we were all so crazy about him though we didn't really like him, screaming for him! and he brought lin jun jie aka wayne there as well, introducing him as his xiao shi di! and jj played on the key board the song 'ji de' which he wrote for ah mei. such a nice nice song !

[谁还记得是谁先说永远的爱我以前的一句话是我们以后的伤口

HSBC tree top walk- 22nd june '06

my mum kind of forced me and my sis into this tree top walk coz she and her friends wanted to go, but they kind of backed out. and my second time walking there, but still, i think it's really far! we took 4hrs to go there and come back. yawns* now my leg and butt hurts! just walking throughout and enjoying the views and sounds of nature. lovely isn't it ! love the green and brown in the pictures* after that we went for a nice jacuzzi n buffet!

me: ting, you see mummy walk so fast!
my sis: wha, ya, dont you know.. mummy is good at shopping
me: oh yar! (darn no wonder*)

watched a really old movie with josh on tuesday. kate and leopold.
interesting plot and story. makes me wonder what happened to all the men these days. where are gentlemen!? *sorry dear!they vanished! haha, i really enjoyed their conversations and lines! like so witty, people hardly speak like that these days. it's like the modern shakespear. and the world really changed very fast, such that without our comforts and luxury now, we are uneasy and uncomfortable about it. imagine they don't even have margarine then.
and after the whole thing we realised that leopold = x men's wolverine! haha, pleasant surprise. he look so much better here!

Stuart(trying to convince the nurse that he found a crack in time): It is no more crazy than a dog finding a rainbow. Dogs are colourblind, Gretchen. They don't see colour. Just like we don't see time. We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the world is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train, eh, Gretchen? Imagine if we could stop that train, get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple. That's all I discovered. I'm just a... a guy who saw a crack in a chair that no one else could see. I'm that dog who saw a rainbow, only none of the other dogs believed me.

Gretchen: I believe you.

Leopold: Everything plays a farce to you. Women respond to sincerity. No-one wants to be romanced by a buffoon. Now, that number rings her.
*
Leopold: Marriage is the promise of eternal love. As a man of honor I cannot promise eternally what I've never felt momentarily.

my closing link.

with the successful publication of youth talk issue 3, the church seemed more vibrant. people taking up youth talk to read, saying positive things about youth talk. I am relieved, nothing more than relieved. I wonder how are we going to continue to meet the different expectations of others. I got really angry when ziyan's dad actually said that there was 'no content'. though i am not sure the reliabilty of this statement, it just goes to show that 1) he doesn't appreciate the shit work 2) he thinks he can do a better job. It doesn't help when people take it forgranted. so misunderstood. People want to help, i know. but can you show me that you can do something, instead of asking me whether i need help. coz your so called concern if i need help is no help at all. and it doesn't help when wr gives me his black face.diaoing me. if i misunderstood him, its my fault. just stopping bossing us ard. i already had enough of this shit. and it is not that i am reluctant to do the stupid advertisement. the person who was entrusted with the task needs to do it herself! you don't keep saying that "i will do it" when you never show that you have the ability to do it. so whatever it is, you clear your own mess yourself. why should i clean it up for you. you are responsible not me. i'm not siding anyone. i'm on my own. speaking for myself.

other than my best pals driving me nuts, so is my sis. i really don't understand her. she's totally possessed by the computer game. she's really crazy. if i can do anything to stop her i would. you just don't realised that we do care for you. she looks like a walking zombie now. if you will stop falling asleep during sermon and 'look' like a 'person'. i don't mean to stress you to play the piano, you don't have to live up to my expectations, just be a 'person'.

still disappointed in my dad, he certainly can do more than that. so much so for the theme 'family' . mine is more screwed than any other one.

was working for the past few days. as an INVIGILATOR for the ACCA exams at expo. It's quite fun though its very far. hah, get to observe what people do when they go for exams. really amusing some. some brought chocolate la, coffee, lots of sweets, aromatheraphy oils? feng you!!? going exam like going to the battle field.

this guy tried to bring in his electronic language translater, and then when i told him cannot bring in, he like diao me. then he reluctantly went back to his bag, to pretend to put it back... and then i saw him putting it back into his pocket?!$%&*(?

and this girl borrowed my watch coz she didnt bring hers. haha, so funny la, she so zhi dong. and then when pens down i walked to her table she still writing man. if it's pri school the teachers would have cancelled her last page rite?

and it's weird how at the last 1hr, everyone wants to go to the toilet and invigilators must really walk them to the toilet. can imagine if everyone wanna go toilet i need to keep walking back and forth! and ya, just realised that if they cheat in the cubicle i also wont know. haha.

funny how some candidates can sit at the wrong seat and happily write away ...!??

messy ugly handwriting, neat printed handwriting.. and how people use liquid paper like mad all the way. then make the whole test paper so unreadable. gosh!

this girl was like showing her butt crack all the way. aiyoyoyoyoyo. so horrible. i dunno guys find that sexy yeah. hehe, the guy behind her must be having a tough time.

when i m bored, i'll just look at all the stuff they have.. shoes, pencil case, jackets, ear rings, clothes haha, bored la, what to do.

i only hate the walking part of this job. my legssssss. up and down the row and the hall is super big. plus, it's so farrrrrrr away from my house. oooooooo

sentosa trip with the 7 church girls 31st may 06
we went there really late, think it was almost one? coz in the end decided to eat lunch at harbour front first. was really sad coz there were like dark clouds and for a moment it started to drizzle, but after that, i got the sun! finally! what's sentosa without sun! kiss the sun ! didn't get very burnt, just happy to be near the sun , sand and blue sea.

the girls are a bunch of fun, was thinking we can't do it without guys haha, but ya, it turned out fun! my sis's phone got wet while she tried to pull min down into the water. oh wells, despite my efforts blowing it with my mouth, wiping with my shirt and using the hair dryer, it still doesn't work. important lesson: never try to pull someone into the water and pls check that your phone is not in your pocket.

posing on the rocks (flower 4 haha)

me and my sis! just realised that she's almost as tall as me? hmmph darn

who's that hot chick. hah,yar my sis, she's a big poser.

24th may wednesday
i k boxed with wei ting and hwee ting. nice have both tings. haha singing all the rap songs.. some dunno how also anyhow rap. but i enjoyed their company. probably coz we know each other so well already! they got me to love singing again. lalalala

26th may friday
xmen! watched at yishun with josh. so hard to find parking space and in the end parked at some hdb /and we had to sit the second row, because there was no space! so frustrating huh, i hate that kind of situations. we were rushing like mad! my efforts paid off haha, watched x men 1 at home before watching part 3. hehe, was quite informative. i hardly new anything about them except for the character 'storm' coz when i was a kid i thought she's cool! the fighting scenes were really majestic, was like wooohoooooo! really wowed me!

read on the papers that shu fang passed away. i'm happy for her coz she's now in heaven, i can picture that in my mind, in the Lord's arm, happily dancing away. i thank god for using her life to impact others. she'll always be remembered as the happy, funny, always smiling girl in class. hardly remembered when was the last time i spoke with her. we weren't exactly close, but i guess she has made us realised that life is so vulnerable.. a 20 yr old, the same age as me, the same sec school, arent we suppose to be happily enjoying uni life...i still find it hard to believe, but i guess she has accomplished what the Lord has in mind for her.. it made me feel that i should do something with my life, make my life purposeful.

27th May Saturday
drove my grand ma and maid to the market at7 plus, nearly couldn't wake up, but so glad i did. hehe, had breakfast at the mkt with josh, delicious. hardly have anything to eat at home. sucks. went home and waited for kai min and huishan to come over. we are on our way to set up our business. planning to do some decos to the skirts that we got and we managed to successful alter a dress that was too small into a top! well done! hope we can really start the business soon! half way josh got a call saying that he was activated! was like so rush, drove him back and that poor boy had to change, bathe, and eat up the noodles? and realised that it was a false alarm? what the!

that night went for jess's bday party! was great! except that everyone was late, though me and josh that we were v v v late!!! arrgh. jess was pretty dressed in her nice dress. and all my classmates of adm! missed them! glad that josh didn't feel awkard there! the view of the pool from the roof top is great! 21st bday! what an important day of our life. but i guess i wont be celebrating in such a large scale manner. haha, simple is the way. too much hassle's not that good for me. maybe a simple small gathering for a few pple? i dunno, when the day comes.. then i'll think about that.

2006-05-22T00:44:00.000+08:00

i watched da vin ci code already. i think the book is much nicer, pity the movie couldn't show some of the tiny details, which were the essence of the book. i actually kind of admire dan brown for his wits. yeah, i give him 5 stars for his ability to link all the facts to form such a seemingly coherent and seemingly seamless plot. how can anyone think of that? but a FICTION remains as fiction rite? i don't regret watching though it was not encouraged by the church. shouldn't christians be the one standing up to tell others that what they are watching is not the truth! hah, ya, so everyone out there who is a fan of dan brown, there is more to it than it meets the eye! i would gladly tell ya all the myths! i'm actually quite glad that he wrote something like that. to show christians that how little they know about their faith. looks like there is really a lot more to learn and there are so many misconceptions that we've always had. mary magdalene is not a prostitute! (get that into your head).

heard people coming out of the theatre saying that they didn't know what was going on and they fell asleep towards the end.. hah, i felt quite funny, there we were fretting over how would non-christians would react to the film, but there were young teenagers who really don't bother to find out what they are watching!? diaoz. let's be tolerant christians. it's only a fiction. it's not going to change our faith in Christ and in God.

*

wr is really pissing me off, though i am not really that angry, and i tried to remain as composed as i can, i still feel like telling him to stop being so bossy. designers are still designers! i wonder if anyone made a law or what, at least give some respect to the creators of art? the least you can do. i actually enjoy youth talk. but i wished i was given more freedom to do what i want. and explore stuff that i want.

i am beginning to realise that i am starting to have this so called 'artist pride' which i never did. maybe it's because i feel that people don't understand the hardwork of artists. thinking that it cannot be compared to any brain activity of mathematics or physics. it's a different form of engagement. and when people say 'how come like that' , ' can you do this do that and change this change that' easier said than done. they never thought of the thinking process before you arrived at the work.

i hope i will still be able to take criticisms, no matter how low morale i am. guess that's the only way to learn. can imagine next time i am in the working force, could be more difficult when clients get fussy with designs etc. etc.

watched this movie called 童梦奇缘.was in my computer since last yr, haven't found the right time to watch it. i like the way they film the movie, the setting, the big green trees in the show! got this very dreamy feel to it!

讲述的是一个关于亲情的都市童话，和法国著名的《小王子》有异曲同工之处。在《童梦》中刘德华扮演的小孩小光无法接受黄日华扮演的父亲把后妈莫文蔚娶进门的事实，认为父亲和后妈对自己不好，想要离家出走。结果在疯狂科学家的帮助下，他一夜之间长大成人，并且开始品尝成人的滋味。在不久之后，他就发现其实成人有许多小孩无法理解的苦衷，父亲和后妈对自己还是很好的。与此同时，由于自己的出走，父亲和后妈之间产生不和，并最终分开。感到内疚的小光决定用自己的力量帮助爸爸和后妈重归于好，重建一个温暖的家.

the ending's really sad, hah, ya, as usual, cried quite a bit, tears were shed (grinz*). so touching how the boy realised how important the family was, and how he wronged his father. it was never to late to return home...*sob* a mistake is a mistake, but was never too late to realise you were wrong. better late than never!

i love shows like that, simple, short, touching and the message was sweet!

2006-05-15T23:57:00.000+08:00

i ran to josh's house today, figured out that our houses are just 6km apart haha, that is like so cool, so near yet so far. it took me 53 mins to get to his house!!!!! and the slopes suck, i jogged till i was blur and my ears were blocked. surprisingly i reached there in one piece. thank god that was still 50cents in my ez link so i could take a bus to the mrt station and the shuttle bus back home. =) wat a great sense of satisfaction !!! loo k at the map haha, the path marked red. i'm sorry, i think i m really bored. *hah

12th may
30th month~2.5yrs
josh gave me a really nice card on sat, i love it =) he thinks his handwriting doesn't go with the colour pen that he bought! i like anything thats from him, so it doesn't matter =)
the card is blue with stars hah, so nice!
there are some printed words on the card, though not written by him, it's still sweet!

have you any idea how much i love you?
i doubt you do.. but i seriously think what we have has added a whole new dimension to this "Love" thing.

I mean, every time i see you, even if i'm expecting you, my heart starts doing this little "happy dance" inside me. You'd think that would have worn off by now, but i don't think it ever will!

I used to think that poets got a bit carried away when they wrote of things like "hearing angels sing" or "the earth moving" when talking about love, but i'm a believer now.

Loving you has brought so much magic and wonder and joy to my life that it makes everyday feel like a dream.

I still can't believe my luck in finding the one person in all the universe who is exactly perfect for me. Thankyou for showing me that there's so much more to life than i ever thought...

You are very important to me than the very air i breathe, and i will love you forever.

*
the happy dance part is like how true, hah, sometimes my heart just dances and jumps for joy whenever i see him!

12th may 2006
* went for a one day tour to johor with my church. it's so fun despite the long bus journey (2-3 hrs). i hate the jam, and sleeping in the bus made me so dizzzy! we just laughed and laughed the whole day, cracking stupid jokes and taking lots of photos to entertain ourselves. gee. suaning wr and winnie, haha, was a good one folks.

*we visited an ostrich farm/fruit farm! i love fruits ! i wished i could buy back all the fruits. the mango is so tasty! i love fruits i love fruits! yummy+ heh, and we had sea food for dinner and lunch, yummy, and we were so full. our table ate the most rice man. fan tong took a boat ride after dinner to see fireflies! so beautiful, like little stars shining, but much nearer, was quite romantic yeah. and nicky managed to catch one!

* will remember the fun on the trip. it's probably not the place and the attractions that we went, but i treasure our amazing friendship by GOD'S grace, and the valuable time spent together and sharing this beautiful experience as we enjoy god's great works! i didn't regret going at all, it was great fun!

sunday 7th may. from left: winnie, xy, me (host), xj(host), wei ren, roy-- the youth talk comm

2006-05-10T12:34:00.000+08:00

last weekend was so tiring for me, had to prepare for the youth talk talk show. it's basically a talk show in church that runs live, like a tv programme for youths to discuss certain issues.we discussed the topic on parents and child (family issues) and i had to be the host. was like so "leng chang" all the time. and my chinese is gone into the drain. half the time i m like stuck waiting for xj to say his lines. oh well. it turned out better than i expected ya.. was quite maluating in front of all the other youths.. because the youth talk song was a DISASTER. WE CAN'T EVEN GET PAST THE FIRST STANZA because of all the stupid actions!! thanks to the WR. thanks xueying and weiren for doing all the deco stuff while i was freaking out. haha. and winnie, she's such a pretty joke book herself

our parents are important in a way yar.. when i think back now, they really did lots of stuff for me, but i just didn't know how to appreciate and usually take forgranted. there was a time when i really hated the family and the things way are, somethings you just need to get used to it rite? afterall, in god's plans, we are one family. nothing beats that.i really need to learn to appreciate them! and be a good daughter. love beats everything else. love is the greatest.

2006-05-10T11:19:00.000+08:00

the holidays are here! cheers to all, i'm happy! seems like i have all the time in the world now. yeah, the maths paper was ok, hard to live with mathematics arh, but casey and weisin were really of a great help, and i think i survived ! high 5^
*
finished one yr of university! feels weird that i am already one yr ahead of josh, sorry dear haha. but the yr was an eye opener. really, in adm... i felt like a little frog in a big big well. the art scene seemed much complicated than i thought. (or rather i never thought of that).

there are times when i still feel scared, as though this art thingy is not where i m suppose to be? maybe i am just not cut out for it. maybe god made a mistake? and when i failed myself so many times, i felt like giving up, all the tears of sadness, questions about my future, the art dream seemed too far fetched for me. the struggles..

I am glad that i hung onto moral values that i kept for myself. there is probably a greater temptation to stray away in school now, not saying that an art school is bad, but the people, the way they think are so different. still, adm has a bunch that are so creative, so open, so charismatic! they are lovely in their own way. not aliens of course. i am probably stuck in between now, neither science nor art. but fret not, i just merely opened my eyes. the world seemed so different now. i still prefer my comfort yellow and orange happy world.
*

thankyou all those who encouraged me to keep going, that this dream is not that far away from reality. esp josh, i know you've been exceptionally tolerant with my ultra busy schedules.. i'll manage it well k..thankyou dear! and group 6, i'll miss all of you! you made my first yr fun and memorable(minus the plaster)

i've to really be receptive to new ideas and new changes, be observant, be patient, just be myself. the challenge is greater ahead.
*
the next yr will be more exciting! visual com here i come!

2006-04-28T19:37:00.000+08:00
