I miss my best friend :(


Hello month of July!

It's July in a bit, the month of fun and excitement.
Never dawned to me that it was already July until I received a text from Singtel wishing me and reminding me of the exclusive treats I'm entitled to.

It is also the month of Youth Sunday! We're having our youth sunday this weekend and I'm the backup singer :)
There's also a special dance item, that has very cute lyrics.

Please pray, for some reasons, I've been nursing a throbbing headache today since late morning. I also have fatigue, tried napping this afternoon and ended up sleeping through my alarm.
Doubt I'll be gng to school tomorrow.

I had a great time of fellowship with my girls this afternoon. Though it was really short, and canteen 3 was hardly a place to talk, I still feel glad la. I mean I don't have to talk to you girls, I am contented just staring at your faces and watching you all. I miss you girls and I'm glad we met up!
Special thanks to Van for passing me your books! They were just the books I was looking for! :P

I really wanna thank God for my results. Though it's not fantastic, I still wanna honor Him with whatever I have. I was really taken aback when I got my pmkt test paper back this afternoon. I actually scored an A! 40/50 when I was dreading failure. However I didn't do so well for SLM with 30/50. But I thank God for letting me pass both! :)

Alissa Hellooooooo go and blog la lazy bum! and GET WELL SOON!
Aaron aaron sim how did you do for pmkttttttt? :) you must have done very well!
Zhimin okay will do! :)
Jiahui Hey Jiahui! :) Are you the one from Hi 5 in Xinmin?

Sometimes I feel like I really cannot stand you, sometimes you throw me off by your actions or maybe it's just the way you look. But I always try to stop myself from feeling that way and am reminded of how Jesus treated those who mocked him. And I will try to love you too.

I wanna eat Bakerzin NY Cheesecake again so badly...

Humility, and love


Alissa & I at Astons Prime 3 weeks ago?

I received a word from the Lord earlier on, it was about humility. I was reflecting on how strong headed I was. I realise it's one of my traits and it can be quite a liability at times. Causes me to disagree with the way some people do things, or sometimes might cause clashes with other people too! :S

I've had incidents in the past which I am not particularly proud of, when I was young and ignorant. Childish. But yeah, that streak in me is still around, though much less eminent than before.

I opened up my bible, lo and behold, the page I was at had just the verse I wanted! I was speechless! :O

Matthew 18:4
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I wanna be like that! :P
Aiya, but the scripture is not asking us to be childish, just childlike humility.

-
Anyway today was the first day of school, pulled through 4 hours of tutorials with sleepy eyes.
I can barely concentrate. BADLY NEED TO SLEEP EARLY FROM TODAY ON! :S
After which I met Ernest and went to Suntec, met YJ too, thank you guys for being sooooooo patient with me and staying with me. Really appreciate you both! Sorry for the times I've been rushing and being impatient. You're my great friends, but sometimes we move too slowly :P hehehehe, this applies even more when we're in a big group man!

Dinnered, and had dessert at Bakerzin.
50% off New York Cheesecake, tomorrow's the last day!!
I love that cake! In fact, I like it better than the Oreo cheesecake! Yummyyyy!

Am not looking forward to tomorrow but :S :S :S
Ahh NP has her maiden case of h1n1 alrdy, but that person was made to stay home.

Basil Okay sureee! :)
Nick Hey Nick, I am unable to run now as I've got injured on my left feet. Give me about a month more to fully recover k? :)
Terence Yup of course! :)
Jieyi I like it too! hehe! we need to hang out. Pleaseeeee let us go www/escape one day!

Blog readers, please tag! :p go ahead talk about any topics! But please respect me and my privacy, thanks!

The end days are near, are we ready?

walks in the night


Thank God for girlfriends!

Heh, the above photo was taken at the hairdresser's and I hadn't chopped off my crowning glory yet. Right now I've got short hair and so far I've only received compliments about my new look! In fact, I think I seem to like this new look better! I don't have to tie my hair (but they'll get messy and all over my face), I don't have to worry about entanglement, or hair dropping! hehe! :)

One of the first few friends who saw my new look were Sheila, Pris and Jo. Pris was really shocked but they kinda liked it? :) hehe, and S kept saying I looked like someone. And after much thought, declared that I looked like my mum! -.-

Obviously I'll look like my mum? I'm borne of her! :P

And today, I received compliments about my new look too. Heh, I am not regretting yet, in case some girls were wondering (except maybe the tying hair part). And I certainly hope I will not regret cutting at all.

And come to think of it, my hair isn't THAT short, everyone's just used to my long hair look so when they see above-shoulderlength hair, they'll think it's short.
But I think I will be daring enough to cut even shorter. I actually thought of shaving bald a while ago in the toilet as the weather's such a killer to keep long hair! :S


I was just thinking about some stuff that transpired earlier on, and I really think we should be more careful with our time management. It is really not honorable to hold people up especially when we're taking our own sweet time/wasting time. Stop being self-centered, as other people's time is precious.
Also, we need to keep our behaviours in check. Displaying anger/displeasure is tolerable, but not wise. Watch our expressions, do they give our displeasure away? Will the words we speak or the piercing eyes we give hurt others? Or the cold shoulder?

I was quite perplexed at _______. Really didn't look good at all. Watch your countenance.

Philippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Romans 14:19
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification.

Romans 15:1
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

The verses on top were just to remind us how we should be.
Youth worship time was good, started out with prayer, transiting into slow songs, and more prayer. The adult musicians were good. Very glad I could worship from the congregation. Responded to altar call. Ps Ben prayed. The youths prayed for the adults.

Cell was postponed, they practiced the dance! It's really upbeat and nice! But I can't dance due to my injury :(
Youth Sunday's next week, I really cannot wait to see what God has in store for us! :P

Dinner @ PP KFC
Saboteur with the boys + cass + sis
Bridged earlier in church. Really happy to be with my churchmates!
But.......... okay nevermind hehe :)

Anyway WELCOME BACK, SUS AND JEREMY PAN!
We missed you at church today but you are in our prayers and I can't wait to see you both next sat!

School tomo, don't know if I shd be glad or not.

Ernest hehe :) thanks thanks! welcome back to read!
Zhimin yes! thank you! :)

Becos even the greatest friends have their flaws

11:38:00 PM


TWITTER
Yeah, I think you'll be thinking how mad I am blogging so many times at such an unearthly hour!
(I was trying to get my loyal readers back HAHA!)

Just kidding, and it's not funny.

ANYWAY, I've joined TWITTER! As you can see at the top of my page, you'll get updates from me even though I don't blog! :)

Heh, people, JOIN TWITTER! okay I better head to bed NOW!
4:24:00 AM


It's late! :O
I really cannot believe how silly I've been! Fretting over some codes when there's actually nothing wrong with them!
Hahaha! Yeah, go ahead, laugh all you like :P

Oh yeah, speaking of being silly, Ernest and I were the silliest people on earth, we were waiting for buses (yeah take note it's really a few buses) that were not operational at that point of time we were waiting! :S

What a weird day, also, the lady at SCH mistook ____________. I won't divulge the secret here, Ernest will definitely cold murder me HAHA!

Jump to the left, stick it, glide

Thank God for my long awaited vacation ♥

Where have I been/ What have I been up to? You may ask.
I've had the most fun-packed 2 weeks holiday break (especially after the non-break last vacation due to attachment)

Well of course it's not all play these two weeks la.
Right now since I'm back home, I've gotta start on my 4 projects which I've to hand up really soon.

Stuff I've done since 3rd June:

  • Alumni lunch with Marcus and Zephyr
  • Visited the sick Jem with Marcus
  • Dinner with attachment company
  • Dinner with relatives at granduncle's
  • Had common tests (lol)
  • Playmax@ St Andrew's Cathedral (helped out with logistics)
  • Sleepover@ BFF's, and with Jo, Pris and Andre on 2nd night
  • "Jammed" a little with BFF and her BF and Andre and found out Andre is a very talented guitarist and (pris claims) pianist.
  • Did a leadership camp
  • Vacation

Yup I finally did a camp! (dances around like a happy kid)

Butttttt I got injured :( by my super uber uber zai mirror boy who carelessly dropped the canteen bench on me.
And if you heard the true reason why he was sooooo excited and kicked the bench, you'd sympatize with me even more lol.
I wasn't even wearing my sports shoes at that point of time (no cushion to break the impact) :(
I was wearing my adi water shoes which had no cushion at all!
So I was practically convulsing in PAIN for 3-5 whole minutes :( :( :(

Which, by the way, has not even healed yet la. The pain has subsided, but it's not fully gone. I can't walk fast/run/dance/skip!
But I thank God there wasn't a bone fracture la.

On a side note, getting hurt by the bench after lunch was very silly. And of all the dangerous items in jbac, THE CANTEEN BENCH?! :O
The bench is quite heavy ah, not the normal wood benches. This one has black metal rims around the legs.

But I was quite fortunate to have kayaking as my next activity (it's a whole group activity!) which meant my mirror could take charge of my group as well and to top it all, my dear ol cousin was the boatman! :P :P :P
Hehehehe, soooo just a simple question asked and an extra wide smile got me on the boat for the entire timeslot :)
Thanks Josh, love you a whole lot!

This camp was really fun, my kids were great kids, easy to work with, but still need pushing la.

Hi 5's the best man! I love the cheers they've come up with! One was sooooo original and the other was just nonsense (haha obviously by the boys).

I also got to meet Mojo and Zephyr! :D :D
Their camp was immediately after mine and they arrived even before I left jbac! yay super glad I met them! :)

-

Aside from camp, I had fun with my family and Tay family too!
FYI, Tay and Fan family have been travelling together for many years already!
Most of our trips involve shopping or snorkelling heh heh!! :P

This time, we went back to one of the places we've visited a few years ago.
Bukit Tinggi Colmar Tropicale! :)

It's just beside Genting Highlands, but it's very different from that place.
The air quality is much better! Seriously! :) Very little to no pollution!

It's called Berjaya Hills, but I like Bk Tinggi much better. Colmar Tropicale is one of the Berjaya Hotels in Malaysia and it's french themed!
Which explains the castle picture above.
More photos the next post :)

Shopping in KL was tiring, but we spent a whole lot.
Especially with my "disability" which prevented me from moving too quickly.

Aiya I'll blog more about my vacation next post or smthg.
I've decided to be lazy and go and sleep now, just for now :P

-
Zhimin Hahah sure! I've been blogging way longer than you did what :P
Jeremy Yeah yeah whatever you say Jeremy! :) heh but will you be THAT petty? :P
Vanny Has your shirts arrived? :P I'm wearing them now and I love them! I wonder which designs you got man! :)
Jedi Nope I didn't attend church camp as I had school then :( Wish I could though.
Kai hellohi! Thanks for tagging man! :D
Heidi We had fun fun fun in Malaysia right! :P Cos you're with the FAN family what! hehehehe! durians are so smellyyyy!!!!!!!!! Too bad you don't like them :P

Jedi Been away in Malaysia 20-24th June :)
Beryl YAY HANNAH MONTANA! *love*
Benji Please do not use such words on my tagboard. Who are you?

Threadless madness!
Someone please tell me why I dread blogging so much now? :(
I've been so out of touch I get so lazy to blog. Hahah sincere apologies to my faithful readers who come back often enough just to get disappointed.

Well, what have I been doing?
I online-shopped at Threadless yesterday afternoon. It was splurging time! On 4 really cute tees that's gona cost me almost $50!
The shipping fee is extremely expensive! :O But my goods are expected to arrive next week, so I guess I have to pay the price :(

I have also been riding bikes! :P
With people like the twins, Charles & Charles, Terence!
It started off last Friday, after I had my focus group discussion. The twins were present, and they offered to take me for a ride!
Btw, Rasmus rides a Honda SP while Rastus rides a Honda Phantom.
They first picked me up from ourspace and we rode around school (campus run).
Picked Sheila and ended up at Holland V for our really good lunch!
I really enjoyed the fellowship with this two!
We rode to yishun, the initial plan was to surprise Jo at his workplace, but it backfired.
During the journey, I was on the SP with Mus. It was already very thrilling, especially when he sped after the traffic lights. Leaving Tus and Sheila on the phantom with our trail of smoke.
And when Tus took over, he was so much more gung-ho, speeding even more than Mus! :O
However Sheila said she wasn't left behind in the smoke as bad as before as Mus had the brains to switch lanes! :)
It was really fun!
Thank God for His protective hand over His children as they venture out to the main roads everyday.

Stayed in Yishun library with BFF, then went down to church for worship night.
Worship night was just what I needed. An opportunity to fully express everything I had/were going through at that point of time.
I thank God for that fresh touch from Him.
And I will not be stagnant.
As Brandon said if you are stagnant, you are actually backsliding already.

Charles Tan and Charles Leong picked me up from PP for supper.
Went to Chompchomp for sugarcane and they sent me back.
I rode on Charles L's bike (I still don't know what his bike is, except that it's lighter than SP)!

Biking is really fun, but bikers do have a higher risk of getting into road accidents.
I spotted the twins' bikes on Monday in school, and when I bumped into Raymond, I told him about them.
And so we ended up standing in front of their bikes and admiring them.
But when we returned to canteen 2, the twins came out of lecture, so we ran towards them!
And guess what?

We got a ride around the campus yayyyyy! :)

I was in the library with Sheila yesterday.
She was at her project discussion and I was hungry.
So I met up with Terence Choo (Sheila's Taino mate) who also hadn't eaten, and biked up to canteen 4 (the other end of the school) to eat Jap Bento Set and drink fruit juice!
His scrambler is really fast and scary! :S
Thank God for preserving my life AHAH! Just kidding! Terence was really safe!

What else have I done?
Visited Huz at hospital, Singapore Flyer with MC, Movie-d with my school mates Carmen and Daryl!
Notice I am lacking a picture at the top of the post, this is becos I am posting photos today! :) heh heh!

Enjoy!
