written on the day we went to paul's house but posted late.


YAY! XD jess and I went to paul's house to put up welcome banners and stick balloons around. XD then we started blowing up balloons and jess finished up the banner tt said' welcome home lee family esp paul'

and then.... i burst like a thousand balloons and out of 1 and a half packets, we managed only 4. then 1 flew off and i didn't chase fast enough and it landed, IN THE SEWER!!!! HAHAHHAAH and i climbed in after the balloon but i gave up when it when it went under the sheltered part, and here i have to give jess credit for climbing in after tt balloon into the drain and according to her the drain was filled with those white pointy stalacites and stalagmites and she insists that it was a great sacrifice on her part. and then she came up declaring herself sewerman (superman)

afterwhich, jess finished the banner IN THE RAIN!!!! so i held the umbrella open while she coloured the words in. and jess was telling me to shelter the banner more. hahaha, then we prayed for the rain to stop and praise the Lord, it did!!!!! and taking advantage of the fine weather, we quickly cling wrapped the banner. XD

soon after i think it started to drizzle again and jess, being totally not satisfied with 4 lousy balloons, decided to go door to door to demand balloons from poor paul's neighbours. ok , not demand, ask in the sweetest voice possible. XD and house 23 was so nice to give us 5 yellow balloons.

then we started putting the banner up and i realised tt their gate was not locked, so we rang the doorbell a couple of times to see if anyone was home. seeing no one, we concluded tt paul's house has special security tt would set the alarms off the minute you step in. but then it started to pour really heavily and the balloons started flying off and so, we decided tt hanging them on the sheltered front door was safer. XD and so... we BROKE IN!!!! hahahaha, we were pasting balloons on the front door when there was this car which drove right up. and out came a lady walking to paul's house and we were all 'uh oh'. i think we almost killed her from shock. haha, she was asking us what we were doing and we were trying to explain tt we were welcoming paul back. and then she asked us which sch we were from, and the dripping wet, scruffily dressed us sheepishly said rgs. and jess added ' i feel really smart today' haha. but her aunt was really nice and she said tt we should remove the banner first coz it would get wet ( our cling wrapping skills weren't tt great) and then she would help us put it up tmr.

then she gave us sweets for being so sweet. hahaha!!! XD and we passed her our bag of sweets for paul and the guardian angel letter. XD then she asked us to come in and sit and she so kindly gave us a lift to bishan mrt station. hahah she thought we were loan sharks cos of our pasting stuff on the door and the mess we created outside the front gate. HAHAHA!!!

anyway, we had real fun! hooray! but i cant post this till after paul gets home. XD

SO FUN!!! XD XD XD and how did she guess it was us? >< her aunt must have broken her promise not to tell. hahaha
moelc posting is out!!! jess, leeqi, nicole , tabitha and i are all in the same class!!!! hooray!!!! Leeqi better not quit french. but it's at 4.30pm leh, so sad and our teacher is L.Robert. haha never heard of him.

and today was really really fun and cool! but i cant post an entry now coz it would be a spoiler. XD

yest was so tiring but so fun.

bluffed my dad and told him ccao was a t 6.30 instead of 7 so tt i'd be on time and I was second to reach!!!! hahah not bad! XD my dad was expressing so much amazement tt the world was alive and awake at 6 plus in the morning. hahaha

ccao was fun. did a little bit of the into-ing and some pyramids with the others then we did swing dancing with the juniors. XD Ann is a good swing dancer. i was a tad grouchy when my sis wasn't selected and so, when i walked with Shin to the accounts dept to collect something, I shouted
' rgs cheated my money' . but it's ok now, as my mum said, God has a plan for her too. haha, her nanyang uniforms drying in the kitchen are still somewhat an eyesore. but she still seems happy about it so it's ok.

after ccao, i went for lunch with jess and my family at jack's place. and my dad was being such an annoying customer. He wasnted his beef to be cooked to such perfection. he wanted in the middle of medium and medium rare and he counted wrongly so he ordered 60% then he realised tt he counted wrong and he called another poor lady and told her he wasnted 40% now. luckily , a very professional lady came up with the whole guide for steak cooking and helped him to pick the right percentage. then when his beef came he decided it was too raw, so he sent it back to the kitchen to cook somemore. and the bad thing about this is tt i'm not even lying. hahaha

then we went to popular to pick out sch stuff and jess's mum came to pick her.

then my family went on our way to the s'pore expo. which i so did not want to go. coz i wasnted to sleep. and i was convinced tt there would be nothing to see. I fell asleep in the car and woke up with so many pins and needles in my foot. but there really was a lot of stuff at the expo!!!! We bought a lot a lot of books, and i found a copy of the city of joy!! which was the really nice movie we watched for geog this year!!! it's really nice and the book is more detailed than the movie.
the metro sale was GREAT!!!!!! At last i bought some new clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay yay yay yay!!!! Shin should have gone too! haha, now all i need to do is to wait for my hair to grow to it's normal length and the sun will be shining again. XD


and later jess and i will be going on a special mission. which is so fun tt i can't wait!!!!and i can't say it yet. but i probably will next time!!!! jess's idea, which i think is really sweet. XD XD XD can't wait!!!


YAY! God is good all the time! and all the time, God is good!

just finished the gym attendance sheets. tsk tsk. 8 ppl didn't pass the training quotas. haha not even 50%, but some have reason la. there're some really sad ones tho, 0% training. 4 ppl in fact have not come for trainings at all!!! only stephanie the great has come for EVERY single training. she should be awarded a medal man.

my sis had an interview for the appeal to get into rgs. it was quite funny the way florence panicked. as though she was going to take the interview. and jess and florence were nice to help my sis with her intro speech and their whole family waited around with my family for my sis's interview to end. florence was my sis's 'manager', coaching her on all the possible questions tt the inerviewers would ask. so funny. my sis was really nervous. but then, so would anyone about to take a life changing interview. really really hope with my fingers and toes crossed tt she'll get in. We will do our best and let God do the rest! XD hmm... hope they tell us soon tho, coz the nanyang bookshop is closing tmr and she might get stranded with no uniform and no books if she doesn't get to rg.

my favourite month of the year ends in 3 days!!!!and then sch will start!!!!!! oh, the horror. i went to check out the position of my classroom tho. it's right next to jess and paul's class, just seperated by a corridor, so tt's good. and it's near the stairway so i dun have to walk tt much. XD and i hope tt mr lim doesn't suddenly wake up, realise how horrible our class is and back out of his noble plan. XD

and yest was 27th which means tt we left for UK exactly 7 mths and 1 day ago. how far away it sounds. i bought a pack of walkers uk biscuits at cold storage just now. how yummy!!!! I think we finished the pack already. -guilty look-

and i have been eating and eating and eating and eating. as i type, i am munching on cereal with raisins and milk. and i ate like 10 cubes of chocolate when watching a show just now. hahahaha. but tt should be the ways to live the hols. XD yay!

wheee....

CHRITMAS IS HERE!!!

and it's gonna end pretty soon too

mm choir was fun. but i was trying to stay away from the mike coz firstly, i shouldnt take the mike when vanessa sings better, WAY BETTER, and i forgot my words a couple of times. but it was fun on the whole and we could see the congregation from up there. The church was PACKED!!!! SO PACKED!!! ppl had to sit on the floor! tt was great!!!

but because we were so used to sing so loudly during choir, jess and i sang SUPER loud during service today. then there was one part where the ppl sang on a diff key from the one we sang in choir, and we could hear ourselves singing SO loudly. wah so embarassing! we were practically screeching away! hahahahahahaha!!!

yest's christmas party was FUN!!!! but i was really tired after about 9pm. how lousy. we played the dirty games where we had to step on the egg yolks, soy sauce and other disgusting stuff and play some games. it was actually qte fun in the end. hahaha! everyone was really dirty and i was actually qte clean compared to them coz i didn't play one of the games where i was afraid tt the flour would get into my lenses. too bad we didn't stay over but then i think i would have died if i didn't sleep yest. i was already so sleepy. i fell asleep on the couch before midnight, fullly intending to get up in 10 mins to count down and when i woke it was already 12.30am. how sad.

oh ya, jess and i were supposed to pick a p4 guy, huang jian to go to g1 and so we brough a sign tt says 'huang jian guo lai' and there was this guy sitting at the bus stop who saw the sign and started staring at it. we thought he was amused by it and i sed ' maybe he's huang jian ah' and jess was so confident tt he wasn't . so we waited. and waited. and finally when no one came, we went to ask him and guess wat, he was huang jian!!!! HAHAHAHAH! I AM A GENIUS!

i realised tt i'm not blogging in chronological order but nvm. mmm what else...

oh some cross road 47 ppl stayed over and even stayed for the service today. tt's really great. Boon Chong and Meng Chai i think. and they have funny nicknames for jess and i.

and i found out tt vanessa was from the same pri sch as me!!!!!! YAY!!!!! SO COOL!!!!! we were singing the c.h.i.j sch song over and over again. haha, my senior!!! so cool so cool!

i'm sleepy again. will ya believe tt??? i slept at 5 in the evening and woke at 7.30. which meant tt i missed half of my little fairy show. hahahaha.

mmm all the church ppl are so nice , just feel very at home in church. hols have become meaningful because of church. hope i can go to watch night next week. JAZI COME WITH ME!!!! XD

oh no. sch is starting. how horrendous. the thought of it gives me shudders. hahaha - shivers and shakes violently- sec 4.... yuck. so old. dun want.

ok jess is rushing me to post. and it's 3 mins till past christmas!!!! 365 days more to christmas everyone. hahahaha

Saturday, December 23, 2006

i'm baking cookies!!!! XD about 3 batches so far. which is 10 trays? i dunno.

it's christmas eve tomorrow!! and i dunno if jess and i are staying over night at church to countdown for christmas. hmm... maybe la.

christmas carn was fun!!! I was manning a stall with small mel and we were pretty busy. but jess claimed tt her stall was more popular. HAH! XD I didn't walk around very much but it seemed really nice and the church was quite packed. I couldn't recognise the chinese people i invited last night tho, so i dunno if they came in the end. oh wellz.

oh both jess and i passed our french delf exams. HOORAY!!! next year we will try B1 then. hope we get monsieur benoit to teach us next year. he gave us super high for oral la! hmm... i just checked moelc website, still no class postings. so slow.

choir tommorow. the performance i mean. then after that we're gonna meet huang jian, a p4 boy who signed up to go for the christmas party thing but doesn't know how to get there. so jess and i will have to go to the bus stop and wave a sign saying 'huang jian guo lai' hahahaha see if got time to do the sign la.

my sis was shortlisted to go for the test in rgs today. about 100 plus people there though. dunno if they'll take her, haiz. thanks for all the prayer and keep praying please!!! she's gonna need all the prayer she can get if she wants to come to rgs next year. haha it's really sad to think tht if she got 1 point more she'd be spared all this agony.

about 9 more days before i'm officially not sec 3. sec 4!!! HOW OLD!!!!

went to do stuff at the youth centre today and ended up helping them take minutes of meeting which ended up in me knowing something which is troubling.

how do you comfort someone in tt position?

i really dunno and i feel so....... helpless.

what do you even say?

someone else told me that God understands their pain because they've been through it and He will comfort them if they are willing to draw closer to Him.

on a lighter note, today was pretty much fun!!! We just went there and called the community youth to ask if they wanted to go for the christmas party. then there was one girl at the youth centre today who recognised me!!! so cool!!! coz she's seen me around the block before. hahaha
actually it's a bit scary to live so close to church. like you don't know who you'll meet around the corner. plus there're like 10 of my dad's boy's brigaders who attend grace assembly and i didn't know tt till one of them told my dad that they saw me at church. wah so scary. hahaha.

you know, i think jess and i should just join the youth centre people if they still have vaccancies and forget about card making minitry.

yesterday was pretty fun too. training was good i guess, not much conditioning plus we did swing dancing for a bit. hahaha. then we went choir and sang from 4-10. we're great. hahaha and jess kicked my shoe off and it was as though i swung it off so it was pretty funny.
and when we were singing something, there was this word ' poco rit' which means something to the dynamics of the song or something like tt and since it was in the middle of the line, jess almost sung it. HAHAHAHHAHAHA the words were going 'God with us' then jess almost sang ' poco rit' instead. it was super funny! i was laughing away for very long.

The dreaded R-word shall not be mentioned today but it's still there dying by the minute.
-tick tock tick tock-

I have not finished my christmas cards!!! and christmas is mon!!!!
which means i HAVE to post by fri which.... is tmr!!! OH NO!!!!
and my cookies! Not baked!!!
OH NO! I'm NOT ready for christmas!!!! I shall post a letter to Santa telling him to take his time to come.

my sis got posted to nanyang and we're gonna appeal. as i'm typing, my sister is working on her appeal essay. ( and totally copying florence's) hahaha.

and only God can heal the hurting hearts

i haven't studied math or chem or anything else for that matter. haiz... our rs is DEAD
maybe jess and i will fail rs and then we'll have to repeat sec 4 and we won't have to go to jc.

met the new cell today. maybe we're in the raffles cell instead of ip cell. which means tt we won't be in the same cell as big mel and jamie after june. which is not a good thing. we'll have new people in our cell. who are really nice, so i guess it's ok. aiya. i dunno. i'm just not too excited at the prospect of not having big mel and jamie in our cell.

choir yest at bukit batok cc. it was... uh ok la. but the pro people weren't there and we got drowned out. luckily 2 people joined us at the last minute.

regional cell outing was quite fun. esp during the game where we took turns to draw cards and depending on the number, different people drank water. we weren't allowed to say the word 'drink' and some people kept forgetting and the pained look on their face everytime they saboed themselves was super funny.

mmm what else.... we've been going for trainings at odd timings because of other stuff. there's choir again on wed and christmas carnival on fri so we'll prob go for morning trainings again. just jess and i. how sad. gets pretty boring after a while and we end up talking instead of jumping. haha

i am bored...

les mis music is still so nice.....

Rhema Conference 2006 has just ended.

It was radical

and i just want to blog about it before i forget.

today's nite rally was awesome. pastor monty was great and inspirational as usual but actually today's altar call didn't appeal to me as much. i needed it but i was kinda too proud to admit it. so i was just standing with the others who were praying and Yvonne was just praying for me too and i was not feeling anything at all. i was pretty disappointed but i just remembered very very clearly pastor monty telling us that we have to wait on the Lord and not for us to give God a time limit. so i just kept praying for God to come and touch me.

then pastor cuixian came to pray for me. She told me to lift up my hands to pray which is new because i only do tt during worship. then she put her hands on my head and my tummy and started praying in tongue which i didn't understand till she translated to english. then after tt when she was praying for me, i felt my head going fuzzy and my legs were a bit wobbly, jellyish. then she put 1 hand behind my back and i was wondering if i was going to fall. and i was a bit scared and i didn't want to. but she was praying and praying for the holy spirit to enter and i just fainted. A couple of people helped me up and i just sank into the wall next to me and tears just flowed. then i also felt tt my hands were like ice.

it was AMAZING!!!!! I was so touched by the holy spirit and i think it's just awesome tt jess and i both had such phenomenal experiences during rhema. tonite there were so many people just crying and praying in tongue. in my first few posts about this new church, i think i sed tt the people fainting in church was scary. I'm eating my words. - crunch, gobble, munch- I felt so at peace and it's pretty hard to describe the whole feeling and experience. i've tried my bestest best to put such an experience into words but it must be experienced to really understand to feeling.

but i emphasise tt it was certainly very special and one of the best experiences i've ever felt in my life.

mmm... the first night was really good too. and i felt like hugging jess. because it was like the first time we cried over spiritual stuff.

i am really thankful for big mel and jamie who prayed for me tt night as well as Yvonne, Huan ting, and pastor cuixian who prayed for me tonight. You make me feel so loved. and there were those nice comforting people who just hugged me gave me a pat. oh and jess who just finished praying for me.

i'm in such a great mood and i believe tt 2007 will be a dynamic spiritual year. XD All my cell people are so great. big mel, jamie, susanna, david lee and some others. they're all such great testimonies. esp susanna who really really inspires me A LOT. XD

oh some dumb stuff did happen that i got pretty bothered by but it's ok. it's a misunderstanding and it will blow over soon. well , it better. but..... i will not be wearing skirts for the next 10 years or if i do, it will be those kind of LONG bohemian skirts. XD

-jess knows what i'm talking about :) -

and no, my skirt did not fall off if you were thinking tt. and i will be a sore loser the next time i lose. hahahaha no more dares for me. XD

yay! i love all my friends at church, gym and everywhere else!!!!! i had such a great time of fellowship with my fellow scream-ers.

i love all pastor monty hipp's messages! they're so funny and just fantastic. he's so honest and will admit his own personal mistakes and tell us true stories about himself so tt we can learn from them. for e.g, how he dated 2 girls at once and got into trouble, how he blew up a neighbour's mailbox and stuff. he's one cool pastor!!! and all the explaining the mechanics of girls and guys were hilarious. and how he made david lee do push ups and carried a another boy on his shoulder. his messages were not boring for a second.

and i have a great God up there in heaven who loves me so much and will accept anyone for who they are. Hooray!!!


I lay every burden down, at the foot of the cross

whee!!! french delf is over!!!! hooray!!! and jess and i were lucky to get monsieur benoit for our oral examiner. coz he taught me before at moelc!!! XD and he's renewed our passion for french.

my dumb phone charger has gone conkers. i must place it at a super strategic position for it to charge.

I am excited to go vivo with shin and jess on thurs! XD yay! at last. candyland XD and rhema conference is coming up next week! :)

oh jess and i joined the christmas choir hahaha jess was telling me how lucky we were tt the podium was made of plastic and not glass. and during the auditions, she kept telling the auditioning guy that she'd break the windows and glass pannels. haha so funny! there was this really pro girl who sang so super nice. but then again, she is in the music ministry. jess was saying tt i was stating the obvious. haha.

and i was feeling a bit of nostalgia. why? because i used to be in choir. see the word used to? means i'm not in choir anymore, that's why. aiya, all the exercises we do for prac, all the breathing exercises, the instructor telling to drop our jaws, open up the mouth. all so familiar...
choir was so fun. with the skipping of recesses to prac, skipping classes for costume fittings, costumes tt look like funeral clothes, performing at chijimes with all the other chij pri schs, practicing for syf, being the oldest and most ancient members of the choir, having to stand on one leg during choir( so tt only 1 leg gets tired at a time, then switching back and forth)

sher misses choir from the nice songs we sang to the ugly black stockings we all had to wear

how sad. hahaha i'm off to play some games!!!
