Its such a lazy day. I cant seem to do any work today even though its my free day. All i did was watch the whole series of Resident Evil and play sushi games online. Whooo, how productive is that!! Sometimes i amaze myself at the amount of procrastination i can come out with! Gosh... I better do some work later. Because exams are in 3 weeks times and my thai oral is in 2 weeks time. May Khawcai!! Haha, such a useless and nonsensical rant. Anyways, I've lots of events to update you guys. SO just let the photos do the talking! .. in the next post

MY ENEMY

This little reptile here has given me so much fear. Super traumatic for my nerves!!!!
Ewwww factor 1
Yesterday, when i came back from dinner.I saw this huge mutated lizard on my wall unexpectedly and so i screamed and it went underneath my bed. The girls came over to help but we were all super terrified! Ray came over to help and try to catch the lizard. But when he moved my bed around, the lizard was no where to be found even though i was super sure i didnt see it moving to anywhere else. But it was not underneath my bed or on the sides! Then when he pushed the bed back,i thought i heard a squish sound but my friend said it was my imagination. So anyway still highly paranoid even though the lizard was supposedly to be gone!

Ewwww factor 2
The whole night i was doing my work. When it was time to go to bed, I plopped down to rest. Then i thought i saw some dirt on the side of my bed and when i reached over, there it was the lizard staring at me in contact with my hand! THE LIZARD WAS ON MY BED OF REST! I absoutely shrieked this time. Apparently, the lizard was underneath my mattress and hence was undetected earlier. Again, i called in the calvary in the form of Hansel this time. And he bravely caught it and threw it down to the first floor . The lucky lizard survived and crawled away. The whole night i was still highly traumatised, thinking the lizard might take revenge on me with its brood or something.I said too soon...

Ewwww factor 3
Remember the squish sound i heard. Yup today when i was cleaning my room. There it was the squished tail on the side of my bed wall. Squashed and grossed. Yucks. To think my head was resting near the wall the whole night.

Ewwww factor 4
AS if it wasnt enough! Another lizard came to attack me! This time on my cupboard top. And luckily HAnsel was around to help me catch it. Boy, what would i do without hansel!

All in all! I hate lizards!And be warned.I am going to get lizard traps and trad herbs to scare away any incoming intruders. This time! NO MERCY!!!

MAy the force be with you

I really need to be more productive!! I kinda stayed the whole day in hostel and so far i only did 2 chapters of psych. I keep getting distracted by nothing!! Weird right.

The past few weeks have been really packed for me. From YMLC to presentations to meetings and D and D! I am glad for term break, but if only it didnt come attached with so many commitments to being a last minute mugger!!

YMLC was great in the sense that I knew God's assurance will always be there for me. And it reminded me of my love for the scripture and word. I used to be very enticed by worship and songs, but now I feel that I am becoming more of a word lover! I can just sit there for hours listening to sermons, if i was not drained or anything.I just really feel that its God's own way of talking to me and enriching me.Its a pity i still do not have Group 10's pictures from the camp! I just felt so blessed by my group's wise words and maturity. Even though they are not much older than me, their single-mindedness in Christ and rootedness in the word really impressed me!!

YMLC

Leaders' cell and PLMC!!!

And these are the few people from Arts that truly matter to me.MY LYTF gang! I really had fun on wed night even though I was reluctant to go in the first place:)

And of course!!! Temasek Hall Bash at Fort Canning. The whole pageant was super entertaining and funny. I am only a bit sore over the fact that I almost won something from bingo. Haha Kidding. Pictures!!!
The star wars gang!!!

Sue Jean and I. She is so cute right!

Take that!! Evil Baddies!!!

SERO!!!

Grrrr!!!!!!

haha such a bimbotic entry

2007-09-13T15:37:16Z

There are so many things running through my mind right that I want to blog about!
But right now:

I am super excited! I just did my first ever laundry in hostel and the smell of clean clothes is simply making me happy!
I cant believe its so easy! Much better than lugging all my clothes home to wash! From now on, I am going to be a hostel laundry girl!

Driving on monday was terrible. Not only did I forgot some of the basics due to my long absence at lessons, I got my nastiest instructor ever. Arugh!! He just keep on picking on me and putting me down in a try to act nice way. Super cant stand him. I really hope I get a better one next mon.

And school work has really started to pile up. Some assignments are due soon, and I have not even started on my readings yet. Really need to speed thing up I guess. Had my first thai lesson yesterday. It was really much harder than I expected. The whole 5 tones just confuses me. And I end up sounding with the same tone for all my conversations. May Khawcay

Ok Harry Potter spoiler alerts for those who are even slower than me in reading the book!!
So dont see what I have written if you still want to read the book.

I just had a huge blast reading finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!! Everything just clicked together, the plot, the intrigue and the heartwarming scenes. Even though the first few chapters were slow moving, the pace quickly picked up!! And then the answers and intrigue started unfolding.But i seriously think Fred's, Lupin's and Tonk's death were so unnecessary!!I cant help it, I am a sucker for total good and perfect fairy tale endings. But i thought the last chapter was so sweet. I can just imagine cheeky little Rons and Potters running around. I can even imagine Rose, with nerdy specs or something, just as brilliant as Hermione!!Haha. But this also signals the end of potter books...:( I am sure going to miss this series.

Today I joined Su Jeann and her team for Netballuxion, some Netball competition. And it so happens that we were in the open category team!! I only just found out recently and i was totally shocked because that would mean TOUGH competition! And i was right. We totally got trashed by ex national players and even the Singapore team !! Sigh super malu i tell you. The scores were like 0, 0 ,2. Haha i think no one could beat us in scoring lower! Ok i think i better start working soon! As in mugging. Because it seems like everyone has already started their readings and assignments. Me!?? i dont even know what assignments there are. Blame it on hostel life and laziness. This cannot do... I must be a cap 5 student. Wish me luck ;)

Hey people out there. I have been busy busy busy so far! After rag,was like a whole new wave of activities and late night staying ups. I think hall life is seriously robbing me of my sleep. But its all in the name of fun! We do stuff like playing taboo, suppers and midnight jogging for some!!(i still REFUSED to go jogging)... but maybe it wont last for long considering the huge amount of food i eat. And just today, we had block B preparation of food for the event tmr. But it turned out to be supper in out tummies instead.And we even used in for forfeits! smearing the chocolate on our faces and using our scary faces to scare people by jumping out of their closets!Haha. And classes have begun already! I am taking psych, south asia, thai(sawadika!), social work and political science. So far classes have been boring but i hope things turn out fine in the end! If you see me in class, say hi to me!! haha

ARTS RAG 2007

I was glad to be part of ARTS rag 2007. Even though we didnt win, I had a blast!
More pictures soon!

God is in control

2007-08-08T17:52:20Z

The past few days: I really enjoyed myself immensely with friends and the activities that was going on. Hall life is cosy, warm and convenient. And as rag day approaches, there is just a buzz of excitement going on. I was living in utter happiness and then everything stopped with bad news. My first reaction was like anger and sadness. Expections was replaced with uncertainty. But,

this message on my friend's blog really helped me:
I've been reading about the beauty of having a joyful peaceful spirit... the inner confidence in Jesus that isn't shaken based on circumstances. There is a difference between happiness and joy - happiness is based on our situations, joy is irregardless of the circumstances.

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)

In the Message Bible, it says, "thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live."

The Bible says to give thanks in everything, not for everything. Not everything is easy to rejoice over, but God is the author of our lives, the perfecter and finisher of our faith, and He can't design bad things against us. They may appear bad for the moment, in our limited, microscopic and human perspective, but as the flow of sermons have been in the recent weeks -- He has called us all to GREAT things, and He never gives us more than we can bear.

Then I asked God, that's easier said than done, how do I find peace and joy when the rubber meets the road? Even if i know everything works out for my good in the long run, how do I find peace when I'm deep in the centre of my problem? He brought up the incident of Jesus calming the storm (Matthew 8:23-27):

And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.
And they went and awakened Him, saying, "Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!"
And He said to them, "Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness).
And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, "What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!"

Jesus got up to show the disciples once again who He is, cos they've forgotten that their answer to the storm was just in the midst of them, on their own boat. It struck me that no matter what storms hit me, Jesus is IN MY BOAT. He is right in the centre of it WITH ME to stretch out his arm and command the winds and waves to still! When that realisation hit me, there was just this awesome peace that "surpasses all understanding", that I know I'm riding on the waves with the one who controls the waves in the first place....

Not because of who we are, but because of WHOSE we are, we can live life unafraid because He makes us soar above the rest and reign in life"

Plus the daily bread reminds us :

Revelation 21:1-4
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

At such times, it helps to remember that God sees our world in its brokenness and has pledged that one day He will wipe away the old and “make all things new” (Rev. 21:5). That promise encourages us in the hardships of life, and it provides the whisper of His comfort—a whisper that can drown out even the sound of sirens.

...SO thanks to all that cared and tiff for your story of job! I know its difficult but i am going to lay everything into his hands

Ok quick update before i rush off!Lets see, for the past few days I have been

Making bricks out of paper mache
Sleeping 5am doing ragging
Worrying about my bids and modules
Worrying about you know that certain part of my body
Shuttling to and fro from arts and temasek
And having a lot of fun and making friends at the same time

To my friends out that!! you are muchly missed!!!!

Happy day!!!!

2007-07-26T10:17:14Z

Today is such a happy day that i just want to smile all the way.
Why?
Because everything just seems to fall into place with God's abundant blessings for me.
Before: Worried and anxious abt TH people and arts dance rag
But now with God taking such good care of me...
It has led me to meeting new friends from TH, and they all seemed really nice. All this paints a rosy picture for my life in TH and its especially comforting since i am going to start moving in tomorrow!
Plus my problems for dance moves are gone!Because due to new arrangement, i am no longer an inhabitant but a queen who only has to sit and act pretty. Haha but its difficult being poised when i am so not a delicate lady. Though i wont be able to do my original dance, i still hope i can do some part of it because i actually put in hard work for the movements k. So its just so sian and wasted if i dont do anything at all!
I got my wish but i am still complaining.Sigh typical humans ;)

Yeah i am just so excited about everything thats going to happen in the next few weeks!
Ok tata! Going off for church and chalet later:)

oh joyful world

My dear ronuts

We went to VCH yesterday to watch Charlotte perform with the SIngapore National Youth Orchestra. Haha a graceful side of her actually exists beneath the rough exterior! Yeah the music was nice and all but after a while, i got bored in just listening to music alone. I blame the musically uninclined genes in me.

In the middle of the padang field in the wee hours of the night

I must say that my arts camp group is truly the best og so far! The friends that i made are people that i will keep meeting up with!! And cheer up Charlotte and Denise. I cant imagine the rough times you guys are going through right now, but i am here for you! Zebra girls all the way :)

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, ^[a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

God is intimately present with us.

I cant believe how time flies.

It just feels as if i only started the year not long ago, and here i am, going to university in three weeks time.
These few weeks of constant activity and meeting up with friends just blurred past so fast.
No doubt fun, I feel too rushed. I still have not spend enough time with my close friends !
Plus my life still needs some grounding and orientation before i feel as if i can move on.
AND!!I am moving into my hall next week! Totally unbelivable!
Need more time...

oh weary body

2007-07-10T13:26:08Z

Ok sports camp is over too!
I guess i was too judgemental at first, because it turned out that my sports group aint too bad after all.
I think i appeared super dao the first few days due to arts camp withdrawal symptoms.
But all the different kinds of sport activities really was a blast.And i really had lots of fun.
To name a few : windsurfing, dragon boating, archery, rifle shooting, dhl ballooning, banana boating, snow city, floor ball and much much more.
KOROU was super nice to me too lah.
Pictures will come soon.

Latest update?
I think i am pulled to join Arts rag DANCE
For those who know me really really well, i think you all can start laughing now.

Ocean's Thirteen was way cool! The thievery was beyond glamorous and chic. And what more, it was all done in the name of a friend. Haha revenge is sweet.

And i take back what i said about the camps. I think i am getting super big jitters right now. Plus the fact of being burnt out. Everyone thinks i am mad for going for 3. Wah...What was i thinking!!?? Gosh this is beyond mad!

Happy 79th Birthday my dearest Ah Ma!!!

Today we went Swa garden to celebrate my Ah Ma's birthday. It was strictly an all grandkids party and so no adults were allowed. What came as a result was the inability to pick from the alacart menu and serving fish with potential bones. Gosh, we can be so lost without the adults. SO pampered. I love my Ah Ma so much, she is super cute. Cue:see the picture with the three Ang Baos in her hand. Haha. She is super observant. Despite our best efforts to hide the cake, she spotted it a mile away. And she was very triumphant over the fact that she did.

Anyways i think i've gone mad. I signed up for three uni camps that are almost back to back for three weeks. Its going to be so exhausting! Its not like i am super enthu or anything, but i figured no point staying at home for the third one because all my friends will be in their own uni camps anyway. So no playmates man. Haha. But please let me meet nice people and groups. If anyone is gg for arts, sports or union camps in Nus, please tell me. Its always nice to see familiar people. I need a certain level of comfort zone after all.

Flashing the birthday presents from us.

The kids.

Trying to hold still while the others make fun of me.

Ciao!
