Psalm 91

Epic-ness.

2011-04-22T23:01:00.002+08:00

Life has been. pretty epic.

Amongst all the business, I realised I never did stop, look back and reflect on the past few months.

Only when Marilyn commented that day "Woah, its amazing how far you've gone, for a person who was on the verge of transferring out" (something..along those lines)

Recap, shall we?

January-O level results. Went for AC Netball trials. Much exertion caused the knee to practically fall apart. Med Meniscus tear, couldnt walk for a whole week, crutches for 2 weeks. Visited the specialist, took an X ray and MRI(God knows how much radiation there is in my system now) and hoped for the best. Things weren't good at all. It was a tough time, with scans showing me needed an op to fix the knee. Plus, rejection from AC after a week of waiting , after much false hope given.

However I looking back, I mustmustmust thank God.

jeremiah 29:11 says "For i know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

I thank God for healing the knee.

"The meniscus cannot heal as little blood flows to the area" so says the doc, but i proved her wrong. OKAY, so maybe my knee still acts up once in a while. I run half the speed i used to, lost a whole lot of jump height, agility, strength. I am unfit. I'll be the first of everyone to get arthritis when im older. BUT, considering the fact that i can do practically everything i could before the injury, I thank God.

I thank God for 33rd and 34th<3

Coming from a person who was desperately wanting a transfer out of the school , I think I've gone a longgggg way. Never in my wildest dreams did i think three months down the road, I would be in SA, let alone, REPRESENT SA. I guess it was not by chance he put 4 SCGS girls in my OG, then 2 others in my class, then 4 OG mates in council with me. (yes, I counted:)) Not forgetting, my p1-2 best friend, and my p3-4 best friend are with me in SA. hahah:) Though it was a big culture change in the beginning, he made me feel so at home from the beginning. Along the way i also began to accept and embrace the family-like warmth in SA. <3 For putting me in SA, i do not regret, and I thank God.

Winning PW fest with Ari, Natassia and fion, added that extra cherry on top of everything sweet:)

Merely the beginning, yet so unpredictable, nerve wreking, stressful and at times, mind blowing.

God, lead the way wont you?

Reign in me, reign in your power,

Over all my dreams,

in my darkest hour.

You are the Lord of all I am.

So wont you reign in me again.

"Bitterness pushes me to Jesus, Forgiveness pulls me to him."

Its been so long.

I'm far from overcoming it all, alone.
Lost as to what to do.

Lord, you'll handle it, wont you?

Found this while cleaning up my room:) Shall type it into soft copy, since i'll prolly throw away the whole file of random p6 writings after this. hahah.

20/7/2006

I was a typical university student studying for a degree in arts.

But i hated my life. I found dreariness in my everyday life. My life annuity was just enough for my school fees and I hardly had any money to spend on myself, to go out with my friends and buy branded items.

I decided that this would not do and pledged to find a job. I found my niche in English and I had good memory too. I guess I could take up a job as a sales assistant or maybe a clerk. I finally landed myself the job of a secretary to a prima donna and often worked with the theatre impresario to discuss the details of her next performance.

As the secretary to a very famous prima donna, I often had to read aloud her fan mail to her. Though her fan's admiration was not reciprocated, her fan's still enjoyed her performance tremendously.

She enjoyed life to the fullest. Though she was busy, she and her retinues would regularly visit her sick relatives in the hospital.

The prima donna showed her eccentricity when playing her grand piano blindfolded during her performance at a night club. Everybody applauded. Of course, there was a group of people who hated her, who wanted her nothing but dead. As the prima donna and I were walking out of the nightclub, a drunkard made a lunge at the prima donna, with a knife! I remained unfazed as I quickly kicked him with my karate kick and sent him flying to the ground, landing widespread on the ground. The prima donna looked at me with a wide smile.

Now I am an old grandma. Last year, I received news that the prima donna had dies of a massive heart attack. Although full of gried, I will never forget the fun, exciting life working with the prima donna.

9++years ago on my first day of school, I was excited to put on my uniform, do my homework, take the school bus and make friends.
9++ years later, Im glad, to a large extent, i still feel the same way about it all. :)

sleep

2010-08-04T15:23:00.006+08:00

Amath today was good.
For once i could finish my paper and do a thorough check through:)

The afternoon is making me real sleepy cause its comfortably warm and my stomach is real contented after drinking some freshly squeezed chilled orange juice.
Then again, i shall not sleep.
Its nerve wrecking cause too often a time its during afternoon naps, that my body freezes like cold stone, leaving only my eyes open and my mind conscious.
I often watch the clock tick by the minute. My body doesnt want to move, screaming internally does no help cause my voice cant be heard.
In the end, much time is just wasted as i wait for body to "wake up"

It must have been really tired.
Its scary.Then again, i've grown quite used to the feeling. It only happens in the afternoons so thank God.

3 papers to go:)

Craving some fun and good food.

:)

Im a party pooper aren't I?

~quan shi wei le niiiiii!

2010-06-20T22:25:00.014+08:00

I remember growing up watching the "Sheng siong supermarket " variety show.
I loved watching the little boys and girls sing chinese karaoke while prancing around the stage in florescent multi coloured clothing. It was exciting. to laugh at. heh.
Then there was the lucky draw section where the selected people got to open golden boxes or beat the golden fortune trees to earn prize money.

I don't watch it anymore.

But ANYWAY, today i just decided randomly turn the tv on and the show was airing! Live.

It was U-kiss(korean band) performing their song!

I was dumbfounded.
Not cause U-kiss was in singapore or i like the band or anything but cause they agreed to perform for
a supermarket show.

wiki updated the sheng siong page:
The supermarket chain has also launched a variety programme on Channel 8. Because a group called the 'U-Kiss' appeared on that show, 'Sheng Siong became the top trending topic in Twitter, winning World Cup at one point in time...

Come on, they deserve better than that coming all the way from korea! The wondergirls got to perform at marina bay sands while they degraded themselves performing on the same stage i used to watch mediocre karaoke sing-a-long sessions and desperate people hitting trees for money.

Maybe, times have changed and sheng siong is uprading its image of its decade old variety show. In that case, they should start from upgrading their adverts:

*Employees pat their hand on shoulder and points to viewers* ~sings "Sheng siong quan shi wei le niiiiiii!"

On a totally different note,

Thanks Zhiting for baking and showing me your cleansing routine(haha,) and talking bout stuff! Don't worry too much kay about, stuff:):)

Thanks Rain for the cupcake lipbalm:) its yummy cause its smells like vanilla and tastes sweet!

Pong i missed you cause we didnt meet everyday. We didnt meet for one week!(amazing)

Yuhan, if you ever read this (I doubt so)thanks too for inviting me to your church. It was a cool insight, learning whats wrong with the whole charismatic movement thing.:)

Happy early birthday Anne!! :)

Sec1's you guys cheer me up with your lovable innocence. I had fun just watching you guys play at sentosa really. I like our new tans.

project tricycle!

2010-06-12T23:19:00.008+08:00

Today, i transformed my toddler tricycle from this

to THIS!

Yay:) Im really happy with the outcome. Its my first time spray painting so i spent like four hours on it and was real tired and coughing from the smelly paint fumes. The wheels were soooo hard to paint!

But anyway, i transformed this 20 something year old tricycle and made it look good as new! (Its my 26- year old cousin's toddler tricycle)

Before:

had to sandpaper all the rust off!

After:

Ben helped me with the finishing touches of painting on metallic silver screws

And tadahh! Beautiful:)

Daddy said i should sell it. Anyone want to buy? :)

But nah, its gonna be an art piece in the new house.

I might follow up and paint so ambellishments on it at the end of the year. so exciting!

Next up, designing the room!

Craving for yam.

2010-06-08T22:36:00.007+08:00

People say im trying to lose weight
cause I object to their views of eating at fast food restaurants
and i hardly finish my food even though i asked the food aunty to halve my portion of rice.
I can almost image the words floating in their heads:
"Trying to get all the oil off her hash brown again. tsk"
"Oh shes being so picky. I mean one burger/fries wonldn't hurt right?"

Truth is, yes i am health conscious but I avoid fast food simply cause I don't like them.
Its too oily, too salty and just not my kind of food.
I have a true blue Asian chinese diet.
I love my noodles, Dim sum!!, kuehs, stir fried vegetables and clear soups. and would gladly choose them over western fast food:)

Another thing.
If you ask any desert person, they will say they save like 3/4 of their stomachs for desert after meals. Im one of them:) I look at the desert menus at restaurants before main course. And i eat dinner sometimes for the sake of beautiful desert. yum

So for the last time
I'm not on a diet.
You can say desert makes up for all the fats and calories im not consuming at my meals.

Phew.
That feels better:)
I could go on but never mind.

someone bring me to eat yam paste now!

webcam. heh.

2010-06-05T00:51:00.010+08:00

I need a haircut again:)

I sat through more than 5 exams this week with a curtain over my face.

You know what, growing back your hair long is harder than it looks cause you have to deal with all the mess during the growing process that most of the time you'll just give up and decide to chop it all off again. (at least for me, thats the case:))

-

Anyway, thank God the week is over!
It was really really exhaustive.

1. Chinese Os

2. A math mock paper

3. SS mock paper

4. English paper 1

5. Emath mock paper

Rahh.
Pong and I rewarded ourselves with Taiyaki (japanese red bean fish-shaped cake thing) at ion and shopped at miumiu, D&G, Gucci, Prada, Zzegna.

Yes yes, just window shopping.

I think from now onwards we can both agree that the things we like to buy and see the most is food. Its a "multi-sensory" experience shopping for food really. Go to the foodhall and supermarket with us one day!

One more week of school! jiayou!

-lizzie.

p.s. Hey every girl has her camwhore moment! And thanks pig brother jj (+marcus and moses) for web-camming!

2010-05-16T23:24:00.003+08:00

Sunset.
I've never seen it here, in singapore. ever.
Wishing I was there, soaking in the vibrancy, colours
and smelling sweet sweet freedom.
cause over here..
The four cold walls,
the mechanical ticking of the clock,
the monotonous whirling of the fan,
the staleness of everything in the room.
That familiar burnt, cold smell,
The smell of fatigue and boredorm that clings on so tightly.
Its suffocating, drowning.

Even when its so so mundane,
Even when left brain is overworked and right brain screams boredorm
give me the strength to pull through.

~Did you climb a mountain that high too?
:)

2010-05-15T23:18:00.004+08:00

"15 ...This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' "

2 Chronicles 20:15-17

The time was worth while after all.

I shouldn't be giving the load to you with the silly excuse of mugging for O's every single time.
And you shouldn't be sorry for doing so much for them without telling me.
I appreciate it, so don't be apologetic. Really.
Yup, teamwork:)
Its looking good.

2010-05-13T23:51:00.003+08:00

Fiona misses you too :(

Happy mother's day, mummy!

Missing you already, even though you haven't left for nz.

Cooking mama!

2010-05-06T23:39:00.005+08:00

Mummy is leaving for new zealand on tuesday. Its shocking to see how much food we're stocking up on. Instant udon, green tea, fruits, lots of convenience food cause the 3 of us(daddy, ben and I) can't cook for nuttss.

The last time daddy cooked,(okay technically, he didn't cook, he microwaved) we ate crispy chicken for dinner. Nope, not those succulent popcorn like stuff from KFC, but literally potato-chip-like crispy, charcoal coloured chicken.
yum-mmy!
Oh my stomach hurts already.

night!
(don't worry, Liz can cook, as good as mama!)

myself, in words.

2010-05-06T22:25:00.007+08:00

I feel like a kid every time i go to the library.
I skipped there today..unknowingly. Pong caught me for that one:)

read up on this while i was there:

ISFP
Introverted sensing feeling perceiving

ISFP are gentle, caring and sensitive people, who keep much of their intensly personal ideals and values to themselves. They more often express their deeply felt passions throught actions than through words.
Modest and reserve, ISFPs are really tremendously warm and enthusiastic people but tend to not show that side of themselves except with people they know well and trust fully. ISFPs tend to be misunderstood because of their tendency not to express themselves directly.
ISFPs are patient, flexible, and easy to get along with and have little need to dominate or control others. The are nonjudgemental and accepting of other behavior in a rather matter-of-fact way. They are observant of people and things around them and do not seek to find motives or meanings.
Because ISFPs live completely in the present moment, they do not tend to prepare or plan more than it is neccessary. Good short-range planners, they are relaxed about getting things done becuse they are fully engaged in the here and now and like to enjoy the current experience result rushing on to the next.
Interested in what they learn and sense directly from their experiences and senses, they are often artisitc and aesthetic, and seek to create beautiful and personal environments for themselves.
Without the need to lead, ISFPs are often loyal followers and good team members. Because of they use their personal values to judge everything in life, they like other people who take the time to get to know them and understand their inner loyalties. Basically trusting and understanding, they need harmonious relationships in their lives and are sensitive to conflicts and disagreements.

Possible blind spots
The highly sensitive nature of ISFPs allows them to clearly see the needs of other people and they sometimes work so excessively to fulfil those needs that they neglect themselves in the process. This can result in their becoming physically ill from exhaustion and overwork. They need to take time out from caring for others to take care of themselves.
Because they focus so completely on their experience in the moment, they tend not to look beyond the present, and miss the broader view. They sometimes have difficulty understanding things in a more complex context. Because they don't usually look for or see possibilities that don't exsist at the present time, they don't tend to prepare in advance. They often have trouble organising their time and resources. They may have to work hard to curb their impulse to go off and enjoy a quiet moment, or participate in a favourite activity.
ISFPs are vulnerable to the criticism of others because they tend to take feedback personally and become offended and discouraged. They may be seen as gullible and too trusting because they accept people and things as they are and don't expect a malicious motive or read anything else into them. They need to become more asserive about their own needs and consider the implications of another's behaviour. By applying some objectivity and skepticism to their analysis they can become better judges of character.

Chop tye ah

生日快乐! 我有时间就会立刻把这个文章翻译让你读!
(哈哈。恐怕翻译后会变得太过简单。)
不知道为什么今天就是

"Chop Tye Ah"
Dedicated to Ahma.(even though i first wrote it for school)

starting from para2:
“Chop Tye Ah” was the name of my grandfather’s Chinese medicine shop, located on the main streets of Chinatown. I remember visiting the shop regularly as a child. Vague memories often come to mind, of the old wooden signboard that hung over the shop front, with three Chinese characters written from right to left. Along the walls were rows of cupboards containing stones, minerals, metals, plants, herbs, animals, vegetables, fruits, cereal crops of unusual shape and sizes, some looking far from palatable. As a child, I recall squeezing through the many shelves of bizarre objects that towered over me, to eventually find my grandfather amongst the dense space, treating his patients in his cramped, box shaped office. Boasting decades of Chinese medicine practice passed down from my great-grandfather, my grandfather often talked about how he could “understand the full complexity of symptoms and dynamic balances”. (Until today, I have yet to comprehend the meaning of that statement.) Firstly, he would take the patient’s pulse with a light feel to the wrist. “Ah. I see,” he would remark in Chinese, then scribbling down illegible Chinese characters in typical doctors handwriting, on his large black notebook. During his free time, he would allow me to role play as the doctor. I never failed to enjoy doodling on his large notebook, taking his pulse and mimicking his deep voice, “Ah, I see, I see.”

Near the stall front, was where my grandmother worked, packing the medicine that my grandfather had prescribed. Her trusty old equipment was her “ti zhong ji” or Chinese herb scale, which was a plate and pendent made of brass, used to measure herbs and medicine. She would scan the rows of cupboards frantically, looking for an assortment of herbs, later to weigh them and combine them into paper packages for the patients to take home. I often marveled at her ability to find the many plants, herbs, animals, vegetables of all sorts at such a quick pace at her age. For someone in her sixties, she was a perfect living example of the benefits of consuming Chinese medicine, keeping strong and healthy. To lighten her burden, she taught me how to work the cash register, collecting money. With the aid of her shop worker, I did my mathematics, keyed in numbers, collected the money, always feeling the sense of accomplishment with every successful cash-in.

The atmosphere of the shop was often lively, with the shop workers constant shouts, “Pass me the dried seahorses!” or “This customer wants to buy top grade birdsnest!” Every time I visited, it was practically stepping into a world with exotic bizarre findings and weird encounters, always interesting, always refreshing. However, slowly, with time, the customer numbers decreased, so did the shop earnings. Perhaps people lost interest and belief in traditional medicine, choosing to opt for western treatment over Chinese. Thus, it was inevitable that “Chop Tye Ah” had to close, raking in greater losses than earnings. I was just twelve at that time, but truly devastated at the news, for that was a place that brought so many memories, of carefree days, frolicking and playing among the rows of cupboards and examining the bizarre. On the last day of business, my grandmother gave me a dried seahorse. I recall the deep feeling of loss as she said “Girl ah, this seahorse cannot import already, extinct already.” The shop, just like the seahorse, it was to be extinct, gone.

The bubble tea shop and “Hang Ten” clothing store that has since replaced my grandfathers medicine store often makes me smirk when I pass by its store front. They seem so out of place next to other businesses selling ethnic clothing or traditional Chinese delicacies. But they are a fond reminder of the “Chop Tye Ah” which used to stand in its place. Those memories can never be erased even if the shop is gone. I will continue to find them in the heart of Chinatown.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

(Sometimes..)

Cut off some of the beginning.
Sorry for the abrupt start,
some really minor made up details
and mediocre writing i rushed to finish:)
(I'm wishing i wrote up to my p6 standard, it was better then seriously.)

Thank you God for creating today,
and for creating me special

Beauty.

Missing you guys lots!

Im a failure at expositions, but I score real well for personal narratives.
When I go to JC, im gonna get it tough. heh:)24/30. first of a kind, from her.

I truly laughed, and played, like one of you. Should I step back and take a look at myself? Maybe its not all that good to let myself go, too much. Choosing between being authoritative and being a friend to you all. It should never be on the extremes of both sides. Though jamming,it was real fun and it made my day:)

haircut!

2010-04-25T23:58:00.001+08:00

me: Why did you cut a hole in my hair?!
hairstylist: So you look less like a student. all the adults do it. and remember put wax, put lots of it.

sigh. hairstylists these days.
Oh well. It aint that bad anyway:)

fearless?

2010-04-17T00:57:00.010+08:00

Afraid of facing even more failures
Afraid of facing reality, so much so that im contented distracting myself with pointless dreaming.

You of little faith, why are you so afraid?

Matthew 8:26

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

No, in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

-Romans 8:35-37

Its time you stopped idling and start living with a tad bit more courage, lizzie.

Get up and make change.

Anywayyy. Happy sc "bieber fever" sports day!

Love you pong, seet, lew, jia.

After which, I'm done with the abrsm sylabus:) pretty much.
12 years. That took me long.

piano diploma? hahah.

Daddy says i can take golf as my new hobby after Os.
It could do some good, training my patience:)
Maybe.

Sleep awaits.

real courage

2010-03-14T23:20:00.009+08:00

It hurt when the first thing she said to you was
"No more netball for you anymore. No more."

"I don't want to have to go through it all over again"

Deep hurt.
I felt so useless when i all i could do was watch you hurt and cry,
thinking of you having to go through it all over again.
All over again.
My mind was in a whirl back then,replaying the events, questioning myself, questioning God.

I take my hat of to you, seriously. It must have taken so much courage, to stand up, wipe away the tears and take those painful steps all the way out of the hall, refusing to be carried away.
I'm sorry that as a friend i was but so little of a support. And sorry to the others whom i hid the seriousness of the matter to.
i didnt want you guys to worry. Or to over react before the scan results are out.

Lastly, I pray for God's peace to guard your heart. And trust in him, even when the circumstance makes it ever so hard to. I know that God will do his mighty healing and you will be able to get though it all cause you're such a strong girl.

Get well soon:)
hurry, get well so i can practice lobs with you again.
And sing. and shop. and laugh.
From the bottom of my heart.
Love you eunice:)

I have an eye infection. or some white dot on my cornea. It was stinging the whole day and the haze certainly made it worse. I slept through CE to give the eye a break:) I was really curious as to what was happening inside my eye so when i got back, i grabbed a mirror and shined warm light into my eye. I ended up being facinated by how the radial and circular muscles move to different light intensities, and how they look pretty uneven and rough in texture near the pupil. In my head i began labeling the different parts of the eye, from aqueous humor to conjunctiva.

yes, my conjunctiva is red. for real now. hahah.
I sound like Christopher from "the curious incident of the dog in the night time"

Anywayy,looking forward to netball tomorrow. Hopefully my partial blindness wont affect training(and affect my hard earned, almost perfect lobs. heh:))

Christopher amuses me.
He's someone so transparent in his moods and meanings, and he never lies.
"I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk"
I'll like to meet someone so perculiar like him:)

what if.

2010-02-27T22:28:00.005+08:00

finefine. Its back up. HAHA. its quite lengthy and boring anyway.

overdue:

As much as I love love netball and am pretty okay in sports, I sometimes wonder if i was actually cut out for something more art-sy, say dance, or art, or singing.
ART:)

Im so tired now, after 12 hours straight in school today and yesterday. Time was well spent at personal mastery:) I got lots out of it.
I have to say, Im really really proud of 4GR cause they are a really cool bunch of people once you get to know them. Though we might not be the smartest or the most enthusiastic, everyone works really really hard,in studies,in their individual areas of passion.There might be inequalities and unfairness towards us at the moment, but as long as we do our best together, we can out do anyone and do so well in everything that we even surprise ourselves in what we can accomplish. (Like being the 'silent killers' last year!) My proudest moment in GR was seeing you guys run the 2.4s. That never give up attitude really spurred me. As we did our cheer today, i was suddenly reminded of the incident and felt such strength, cause i know we can tackle anything. Dont look down on yourself and be strong class, cause i know for sure we'll outdo so many in the Os, even without the extra attention:)
I love you the9, for being my support in this year.
No worries, cause we'll get though it together:D

Surprise

surprise surprise. Its amazing how he works in ways you never ever expected. EVER.
talent scouted for u17 nationals tryouts! with eunice and nicole:)
I think its a testimony of God's favour, cause really, there are many way ahead of me. Even in the team.

I've officially retired. I feel old and flabby(yes thats the word) after finishing zonals. Heh:)

Block off the noise and distractions, then you'll hear his voice ever so clearly.

2010-02-21T23:35:00.006+08:00

Find joy in the fact that when no one sees, or notices, God does:)
He will generously reward in heaven.

Mr teh says this picture is nice. I don't agree.hahah
It just occured to me I started off playing WA in p3. And i still am up till now:)
I can say that i prolly enjoy plaing the position the most, cause it gives me great satisfaction and adrenaline rush when I drive for centre passes and down court. Lobs to eunice take but a split second, they look effortless. But in fact take so much concentration and patience that it feels so good to make a perfect lob. I can only breathe when the ball reaches her hands, then goes straight into the hoop.Pure satisfaction:)

Game with sgs tmr.
Gonna play my all, and have fun.

A gift-giving God

2010-02-11T23:42:00.002+08:00

He gives us food and joy,
sunshine and rain
jesus and eternal life
holy spirit and spiritual gifts

Matt 7:7-11
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your heavenly father give good gifts to those who ASK him

God is eager to answer the prayers of his children. Persistent prayer is demostration of faith in God who, while at times may delay his answers, will always act decisively and justly with respect to his people. -Our Daily Journey(:

God, give tomorrow's game to us.
It will be the best birthday/vday/cny gift ever
:)

Im not gonna doubt anymore. Im giving it all to you.

genuine.

2010-02-07T15:42:00.006+08:00

I love testimonies:)
Im really encouraged by you guys really, those testimonies came straight from the heart.
And i thank you for the lovely surprise!
Leading you all gives me much joy and strenth.
Ironic huh, that Im the one at the recieving end.
Great bunch of kids.
Happy 13th birthday to me. again:)

I like exploring Pasir ris at night. I never got the chance to:)
Thanks pong:) It was fun just reminiscing bout stuff.
I chope the seat nearest to the door of the dynamite church room.

superficial

2010-01-30T23:46:00.009+08:00

I thank pain, poddy and qian qian for making my evening so enjoyable:)
Spell word had a good time. hahah.
I like that my name doesnt show on the handphone dictionary.

A decision i made with God this year was to give more focus to the relationships with my friends in school and to actually start enjoying school
Though I've begin raking in yet another set of mediocre grades. I really thank God for giving me classmates, and netballers, who pull me through the week and make school enjoyable.
I love:
Recess picnics
Friday after school ice cream plans
Chinese class:)

I truly do!

p.s I find it a chore talking to people online and sms-ing. or even talking on the phone. Takes away the real joy and experience of a conversation, unlike talking to
someone face to face. Don't you agree? prolly not.

Let the friendships made not become merely superficial.
God, let cell group not lose its meaning.

Percy pigs

2010-01-29T23:28:00.004+08:00

Serene bought her percy pig and friends from Marks and spencer today! I'm so going there tomorrow after dental cause im craving the raspberry and orange melt-in-your mouth cookies.yum.
I'll prolly get percy pig and some snacks for the kids cause poor hanyang and timo have been buying chips for cg all these weeks.
Then again, they'll gobble down poor percy pig and cola cow in a matter of seconds. heh.

SHINEE IS IN SINGAPORE! WOOOHHHH. So near yet so far.
(haha. ignore my moment of fangirl-ing)

I really love Psalm 91.

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

She said that there was no meaning to life.
Lord, show yourself so clearly to her. Cause i know deep down shes calling out to you, searching for that someone who truly loves her.

Im pretty busy these days.
True.
(I practically sleep eat study eat tuition piano netball eat study pray sleep.)
But it was just a cover up for all the things i wanted to say. I held it back, practically felt like something was choking me.
Sometimes, i think I was/am too nice.
Dont do this to me again, or rather, to yourself. k?
Turning 16. It will be a fresh beginning. I'll spend my birthday well. this time:)

ANYWAY
Im getting used to school,and actually loving it:)
Netball seasons start on wednesday, and im looking forward to it(and our top 4)
Pong get well soon! I'll be praying for your ankle. (as well as the other netballer's ankles and knees and hips and wrists)

I thank you God, specially for the sec1s.
Their unflagging energy gives me/us strength.
(Zhiting, dont you think so too?:)

Avartar is a really good movie. My dad and I regret not watching the show in 3D. We'd definately like to sit through another- butt-hurting- 3 hour show just to get a better glimpse of the world of Pandora in 3D.
I love fantasy movies. This one really left me wanting to go to Pandora. All the floating mountains, glow in the dark plants, floating jellyfish-like creatures. I especially like the barks of the trees which illuminate everytime someone climbs on them! (Niki's place has a tree which spurts water out but that doesnt count!)

Christmas passed this year with not much fuss or big parties. Thank God still for seafood dinner with daddys family at the club. Had sharksfin soup, scallops, chilli crab, steamed prawns and fish! Overconsumption of protein! so much urea. hahah. But it was really scrumptious. Happy birthday grandfather:)

I'm curious and worried. Well, maybe you guys are just having fun (not my kind of fun, for now) or do you all have a deeper reason all for this?
Really. I'm still like a frog, in a well.

remiscing childhood

2009-12-24T01:47:00.002+08:00

Its been so long since i last blogged:) One year to be exact. Well, so many things have changed since then. I guess i have nothing to hide now and can freely blog about what i really want to. I am glad.
Then again, blogging isnt really my thing. Im sticking to diaries, so to the 1 or 2 people who actually read this, there aint gonna be much. I might just private it again to let it rot.
Anyway,its almost christmas:) Christmas is my favourite time of the year, cos' i like to decorate the christmas tree at home and watch presents slowly fill up the bottom. I like how its dark at night and the only thing that lights up the house is the multi coloured lights from the tree, glowing red blue green and yellow. My cat would sit under the tree and scratch the presents in the middle of the night and by morning it would be all giam-chye.haha.

Sometimes i just wished i could be a kid again. Cause things seemed so much more fun then. I miss the mega birthday parties, the friendships, the sleepovers, the trips to the zoo, the simple pleasures in life.
I wrote in my k2 diary- I went to the airport. I am happy.
There was little loneliness, pain, tiredness as far as i can remember.
Sometimes i think i reminisce childhood too much. Time to wake up and to look forward to what lies ahead and be positive about it:)

God you told me not to worry, cause my future is good.
Its a rocky road im travelling on, but i trust you'd catch me when i fall.
