my day

ok it gets tiring posting up individual piccas so here's my day summarised in a collage.

haha! my 3 lovely lovely youth choristers pretty in pink! :) though we kinda screwed up and fumbled a little butttttttttt im sure this is the beginning of more great things to come from us HAHAHA.

and insanity during lunch, sunkist smiles from caressa and i! :) damn funny la i love sunkist smiles i think they're so funny haha. shannon says we looks like orang utans but EH we look so cool that the watermelon people decided to join us hahaha omg.

loverrrrrrly.

FA quiz was a bummer :( jervis you shld stop saying it's easy and stop calling me stupid :( hurt my feelings :(

hahahaha, on the brighter side, lynn and i did a teensy teensy bit of retail therapy after the quiz. can't wait to shop tmr (albeit only a really short time) and can't wait for cheapo shopping! to get plenty plenty of skirts and dresses hee. shaaaan ming go organise! :)

sorry ek i cant visit you tmr haha, hope when you come out the week after you wont look tormented and mutilated.

hee, a rather busy busy week next week with FA presentation, journal due, and csp starting! AND gotta start studying for biz law :(

my oh my. 

queasy quiz.

quiz in 45mins and am rather worrrrrried.

:(

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

cos we are the pathfinders strong!

okay fine, im not a pathfinder. haha. but today's pathfinder day :) so we bratz trooped down to jurong church. either as a pathfinder or supporter :) and after the programme, i had this strange inclination to join pathfinder next year. omg. i don't believe i just said that hahaha. RAH. okay but before i say more, photos!!

my angelic ladies :)

at jurong, waiting for the prog to start.

my BROTHER, the model pathfinder :) sob sob so proud of my little brother :)

then again, i thought twice about joining because 1. i'll have an empty sash 2. i'd have to match up to my brother's EXCELLENT standards haha and i dont thk i can take pathfinders as seriously as he does 3. im like how old already la. but then again, it's like quite fun laaaa. heard they're gonna have more outdoor stuff next year :) and pathfinders is part and parcel of adventist youths. so how how how! shld i join? haha.

whoops my FA book has been patiently lying next to my laptop since hours ago. uh-oh.

prayers :)

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing the first man prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that his wife and he could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.
As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"
"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered, and so he does not deserve anything."
"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."
"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"
"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."
For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!

:)

this seminar room is FREEZING COLD.

-frown

sudden panic attack again. i thk i wont survive this term, dont seem to understand anything and i can't get over the huge inertia. which totally sucks. feeling weary from the projects and readings. and everything, it's so hard to keep up cos new things keep coming in again and again. feeling rather terrified cos i dont comprehend anything, whether textbooks or slides. concentration keeps wavering, which is not good.

comms individual presentation tomorrow, which im not feeling too good about.

okay, here's sth jianhao made for me that is somewhat cheery enough :)



i wanna fly away, lose myself in fantasies. and sing sing sing in musicals haha. oh well.

forbidden city

gosh :) everyone go and watch forbidden city pls.

poor empress.

rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

i know i've said this before but i've always wanted to sing in a musical!! :D hahahaha even if im some random passerby on the streets singing with everyone else. RAHHHHHH :D i wannaaaaa.

like children need their mothers
like rivers need the sea
like lovers need each other
like prisons need a key
like winter nights need fire
like temples need a shrine
like lovers need desire
like prophets need a sign

i need him, can't he see, i need him to be mineeeeee. haha so cheesy :)

this is my only chance, love, open my heart
years of broken dreams, all in the past
this is my only chance, love, make me a part
of someone who knows me, at last

sigh :)

kit chan's voice is quite nice :) but sth happened to her yest eh. she was like screaming her high notes :S raaather painful to listen.

alamak, okay i better go read FA already! lugged three heavy books to the library. better make full use. i realised my FA book is rather um, crumpled and has scratches. looks like i've been real hardworking but i havent gotten past chapter 1. DIEE!

rahh.

ek will scold me cos i made him go online yesterday night to send me photos, but i still havent blogged about yesterday hahaha. he wants me to dedicate an entry to him but im not stupid, i shant :) i dont like ek's camera cos it has lousy flash :( this photo was taken with timer and caused much stares from EVERYONE ughh.

so anyway! i made impulse buys yest, but im happy hahaha. it was a good outing with nice food and company! ek looks like a prisoner of war now, bmt has shrunk him.

harr, tomorrow night im going out and it's exciting! :) haha im not supposed to know where we're going but im smart so i know where and im excited!

pfft, am becoming very incoherent and crappy. rahhh.

i shall go concentrate on THE BIZ LAW report. after that no more biz law projects! :) save for the weekly assignments but those are just skeletal outlines anw :D

:)

:) biz law presentation is over. the world seems much brighter again!

thankful :)

yesterday i went to bed sobbing to myself and praying very hard. felt like shit, all jittery, scared, tired, anxious, jaded all at the same time. but today it will be different. i feel happier, somewhat relieved and in a contented equilibrium :)

when i made my lonesome journey home today, i pondered about my first two weeks of school. all my insecurities, fears, frustrations, all didnt seem so bad after all :D God put me in smu, and that is enough reassurance that He will bring be through all the ups and downs, calm my every sorrow every worry. somehow things are always for the better and such trust and faith in Him is enough reason to always remain optimistic, whatsoever the worry :D

okaaay the first two paras sounded really melancholic but really, im happy! :D i have so many many things to be thankful for! God has really listened to my prayers and answered them, in His own way, in His own time. and today i will list down all my blessings :) no matter how small they seemingly are.

count your blessings
name them one by one
count your many blessings
see what God has done

hahaha!

thank You God for the wonderful first two weeks of school. doesnt seem like two weeks. feels like i've been there forever.
thank You God for the gym nearby! har har i can start being healthy and fit now. heh.
thank You God for good profs. and lessons that are actually gonna be useful after graduation, haha.
thank You God for lynn :) my wonderful constant in school. my companion during lessons, lunch, gym :) sharing our fears abt school, complaining abt our projects, panicking abt our presentations. someone i know i can count on to look out for me, someone i really really cherish! plenty love, 1 flower is not enough for you :)
thank You God for jerry, who looks out for all his freshies and really helps me with EVERYTHING from getting school books to my biz law proj and my other random fears, haha.
thank You God for my new-found neighbour, ltb grpmate and friend - shan ming! someone to go to school and back with me, to fret about csp :)
thank You God for my super enthusiastic ltb group, who didnt complain about spending the whole sunday in school doing (omg) ART AND CRAFT. hahahaha, it was fun and somehow 9 hours did not feel very long.
thank You God for people like jia hong and lucas who tolerate all my crap when i complain and whine about my school stuff even though they are not smu students hahahah.
thank You God for etta! for the random and impromptu meetups and study sessions, haha. it was a lovely asoc camp. and even lovelier friendships after the camp (much as jervis likes to say im fat, and ken likes to say evil things, haha forgiven forgiven, im merciful)
thank You God for nice touch seniors who made touch rug actually seem like a promising cca despite the fact that im somewhat of a klutz :)
thank You God for the many new things that im gonna try (kickboxing salsa touch rug), things that i'd never dare pick up on my own. and muah to the lovely people trying these new things out with me :D
thank You God for the biz law meeting that went on fairly well just now :)
thank You God for our ridiculously small locker that can somehow fit all our stuff inside :D wonderful haha. thank You God for all the people who remembered my birthday and tried to make it special :)
and lastly, thank You God for the wonderful family :) who stay up to have family devotions with me even though i get home much later nowadays. who understand and accomodate when i say that i'll be home "hopefully for dinner".
:)
am i blessed or what?

9 hours on a sunday

i spent a total of NINE HOURS in school today. yes today. a beautiful sunday. when people go to the park for family picnics, couples go dating, workaholics get their well-deserved rest. i was in SCHOOL. you walk pass gsr after gsr and you see project groups meeting, people studying. and -gasp! it's only the 2nd week of school!

and it was nineeee hours of work nonstop, no breaks eh! i didnt even eat breakfast or lunch :( rather depressing but somehow the hunger pangs did not attack till after we walked out of the gsr, all happy and contented and relieved that we have finished what we set out to do.

i think we're over-enthusiastic, but it was fun :) i like my ltb group, harr. and somehow 9 hours didnt seem like 9 hours.

look at our happy faces, poster's finally doooooooooooooooooone! heh.

:D

im damn sleepy. slept only 4 measly hours. so, goodnight world! :)

nineteen

so i received four birthday kisses today! (albeit all from the same person)

MUAH! :)

it was a fairly nondescript day, just like any other day of the year. spent the whole day in church, then came home to do ltb and biz law stuff, haha how wonderrrrful. i realised people love giving me food. koen baked me really yummy choc muffins! :) aww.

i am damn tired. seriously. i spent 4.5h on my biz law assignment with minor distractions from my lava lamp (ooh pretty glitter), my grumbling tummy, shanming's panic phonecall, my flurry in searching for poster materials and sending a panic email to my ltb group. hahaha. im sooo looking forward to future biz law assignments man (like 1 per wk, gag!). the one i just did was really crappy. sigh.

hmm i just heard this really loud explosion, omg. what's happening :S OH WELL.

i have an ltb meeting in approximately 5 hours. yes, im going to school on a lovely sunday morning :)

welcome to life in smu. rahhhh.
