hmm... okay, one year is almost gone.

i'm so glad rachel will be in my orientation group man, haha. xD

A list of things i'll miss most about 2007:

1. gym!!!!
- will definitely miss tramp, and well, all the conditioning we did and having shin push me to finish it. xD
- aching so much after conditioning that i can't walk
- doing routines
- the gymmers

oh no, i'm going to miss gym so much.

2. i actually think i might miss math and chem.

3. hmm... seeing jess around so much
since we're not having french, gym, cheer,RS, cell or class together anymore. :(

4. french!
oh, i just found out that monsieur kou stays near me. but i'll miss monsieur robert. :(

This is a record! haha, 1 month's passed since i last posted.

i saw a really cute pair of siblings today in the train. xD a little girl and her younger brother.

This is how their conversation went:

boy: mummy! jie jie pull my shirt, very pain!
girl: -glares at him-
mum: shake hands now or else mummy don't buy things for both of you
boy: -sticks his hand out imediately- jie jie, shake my hand!
girl: -refuses to shake his hand-
boy: jie jie! shake my hand or else later mummy don't buy toys for you
girl: -still refuses-
boy: -starts to cry- mummy, jie jie dont let me do it. i want to shake but she don't let me


oh man, so cute to see him desperately trying to shake his sister's hand. xD haha

and there was a pint sized little boy i saw yesterday nodding off on the seat which he barely half-filled up.

children on trains are really cute to watch.


oh and i'm gonna die for french delf. uh oh... esp the orals.

and yea, like jess, i'm gonna miss the french teachers too. esp monsieur L. robert,
his nonsense jokes and his pictures which are really great. like, he draws a traffic light and refuses to tell us the english word and asks us to guess, and it really looks like a toothbrush. and if someone finally gets it, he goes 'yes! doesnt it speak for itself?' HAHA

french is great. except that it's so hard, and in the delf b1 preparation classes, only 1 RI boy wanted to take french again next year, and he was such a pro. he actually bothered to ask questions in french, and he was discussing stuff with the teachers in french! wow!


ok, this is a french rhyme that monsieur N. made us recite like 10 times in sec 2 and then started making us all stand up to recite it.

Infidelite

je mapelle Emile
Et j'aime emilie
Emilie la belle
Emilie jolie
Mais si Isabelle
L'ete me sourit
J'oubilie Emilie


I am Emile
and I love Emilie
Emilie is beautiful
Emilie is pretty
But if Isabelle
smiles to me in summer
I'll forget Emilie


haha

happy children's day!

1. my grandma has accepted Christ!
- her having a heart attack is now keeping my mum very busy, in fact, my mum quit 3 ministries so tt she can go to my grandma's house everyday. but it's been a miracle tt she accepted Christ, having been quite against it. i don't think i'd prayed that hard for her salvation in a long time. prayer is power! yea!

2. i've got a disgusting swollen ingrown toenail which has pus, and now is bleeding. it hurts!! and a swollen eye, which means no contacts :(

3. i want to go cycling with shin! yay! cycling! been wanting to cycle since eoys ended.

4. uh oh, haven't replied Esther as to when to meet her this week. xD

5. back to integrating and particles travelling along a straight line!

A lovely poem!

God has not promised skies always blue
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through
God has not promised sun without rain
joy without sorrow, peace without pain

But God has promised strength for the day
rest for the labored, light for the way
grace for the trials, help from above
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

- kristone (a wise guy/girl(i really cant tell. xD haha))

HELLO FOLKS!

JESS HERE INFILTRATING SHER'S BLOG.

NYAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'M ON A MISSION!
TO OVERTAKE THE BLOGS OF THE WORLDD...!!!! WHOOHOOO.

ALREADY OVERTAKEN SHIN'S OLD BLOG, AND NOW THIS.!

YES! WORLD DOMINATION!

LAUGH WITH ME, FOLKS!



If you wanna know how sher is doing, she is currently addicted to the show: hanakimi, jap version.
haha it has amazing powers, having taken over her wallpaper and her screensaver.
you have no idea how excited she was to find hanakimi downloads on Crunchy Roll.! haha we have to save her, folks.

WHO'S WITH ME IN THIS?! lemme hear a resounding AYE AYE! on the tagboards.!!!
WHOO YEAAAAA


more updates on sher:
sher is in a couch potato state.
sher has no interest whatsover in blogging, or running or anything.
sher has become mildly artsy, making her first very own pair of earrings last friday, 21st september.
sher believes that waffle town chicken is the best chicken in the entire world.
sher promises to treat everyone to bubble tea, as long as you ask her to.


HOORAY!

ok, this is for shin.

options are out, they're ok i guess, since i got everything i opted for. can't complain about it then.

went to g2 for service today. it kinda felt like the first time jess and i stepped into YA service somewhere last year, it was september too i think.

the same smell of the praise room, and the feeling of not knowing anybody. yupp. doesn't make me any more inclined to move to g2 and start everything again.

still, g2 brings back very fond memories of crossroad and SCREAM cell. xD

hmm, Christmas plans are not underway, and the Christmas list is still pinned there to my noticeboard, unedited.

i make no sense at all

goodnight then.

monsieur robert is a cool teacher man, whatever he says tickles us to no end. xD

luxin: monsieur, how tall are you?

monsieur: 179?

luxin: hah! monsieur i'm taller than you!

monsieur ( very smoothly and with a look of disdain on his face):
and you're happy about that? that rain falls on you first!

HAHA. who says that man! hahahah xD he has to be mr bean in disguise. hahaha

6 more papers! and 4 more days till exams are over! picnicking, baking and card making can start. yay

it's quite unbelievable that the year is coming to a close, especially when i think about last December. it doesn't seem far away at all, and the crossroad kids will have grown older by a year. how odd to think about that. i wonder if they're still going to crossroad anyway.

and in typing this short post, i have made a total of 11 grammar or spelling mistakes! haha, it's being underlined with a squiggly red line. xD even things like 'haha' is a spelling error. xD

jess is right man. it's seriously gonna take us a lot of faith for the next 5 weeks.
we've been kinda getting through each week and saying 'we survived another week'
and i think i want to more than just survive the week.

stuff like the french prelims which, in one exam will make up our french gpa for the entire year, is very, very scary.

and some teacher's trying to get me to stop gym, nonsense man.

been trying to apply whatever ps ronald preached about the family and it's going a lot smoother with my mum. yupp xD and my dad is coming back from nigeria on monday and flying off to india at the end of the week i think. aiya, everytime he goes away, my sis will run over to my mum's room and i'll be all alone! haha, it's quite sad. xD

and we found a couple of christian music cds which is really nice and comforting i should say.


voice of truth

Oh,what I would do
To have the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win."
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

hmm i scan my computer for viruses almost everyday. and every single time, there's new stuff that's infected. tt's quite amazing. haha. tracking cookies everyday. xD
18 new infections as of today. xD

and my msn is down again, aiya. xD

it's been such beautiful rainy weather! and up here at 22 floors, it's really really windy and nice! xD

and i got a tad bit of hk blues yest. funny. since i never got them before.

aiya i should study ss now. xD

bye!

right, shall clear the cobwebs.

haha, as of now, i have finished charting the ups and down of my 16 year existence on a graph!
tt's part of the 'homework' jess and i are supposed to prepare before meeting esther on saturday.

i'm still struggling with some of the stuff i emailed esther about. but God is good. Amen.





and i find it highly amusing for people to be surprised that i'm not going for prom. haha. it's just more appealing to take the 60 dollars and go shopping with shin. xD oh yes oh yes.





jess and i have started planning for the most exciting event of the year:



Christmas 2007!!!!!


christmas card lists and all are being compiled. xD how exciting!!!!!! i still believe jess is nuts if she's gonna handmake every single one. there's like 50 plus ppl we want to write to in church, and that doesn quite include sch ppl, gymmers and others.

oh christmas is exciting. xD

today is earth day!

and all the uk videos and pictures brought back memories of uk. so today will be 'i miss uk' day too.

orielton's super soft grass!

broomshill burrows

welsh cheese!!!! xD yummy.

was typing out some service notes when this particular service kinda spoke to me again.

Psalms 4: 23: ‘Above all, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life’

Struggles are within and outside us
We need to guard our hearts so that our passion for God will not be robbed


2 weeks back to sch. and already i struggle to keep God at the focus. maybe some of my brothers and sisters in Christ can empathise? work's been coming in and I've been trying to plan things my own way and i'm not letting God be at the steering wheel again.

i just got news that my grandma's arteries arent functioning very properly. she's always had problems with her heart. and she hasnt yet accepted Christ.



hmm.


in any case,
God is faithful.

Amen.


Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness

lamentations 3:22,23

exploitation

working in cramped conditions for 5 minutes. hahaha. XD

one afternoon of labour! hanging on my dining chair. haha, nice yes? XD

ok, d and d's over, and i am again ministry-less. aiya

i have only a few shots of d and d. haha, sad.

GUESS WHOSE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

RIP cell guys

back from a meeting with esther. XD

it's real exciting to think that i'll have someone to walk me through the next couple of years (I hope) and helping me grow spiritually. XD my mum was also telling me bout her mentors and those ppl she mentored in the navigators. i think esther is a great person, and when i'm 23, i wanna be like her! XD and jess and i are supposed to listen to what God is telling us we need to grow in and tell her next week. anyway, jess was laughing and laughing and laughing at:

EVERYTHING THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!

gosh. and her laugh is really infectious and esther and i were laughing too but we didnt know what we were laughing at man. haha XD and we touched on the topic i didnt want to cover. haha.

anyway, my house is out of food! no chocolates no biscuits, no nothing. oh no....

and i havent blogged about retreat yet. i wrote in my diary 26 pages and i drafted a post three times! and i havent posted anything. XD haha, but it was a very new experience going for this retreat, a LOT different from retreats in my other church. yupp. a lot more focus on the spirit i guess.

i appeal to all those who've linked me to kindly unlink me.
thank you XD


it doesnt feel like it's the school hols at all. nope it doesnt.

yesterday, my sis and i unearthed our album of pets. wah. i miss the darlings. and i especially love this picture of meeko, marshal and milo when they were stilll babies, curled up asleep together. it's really sweet. (and a far cry from looking like jellybeans XD)
we used to go to this really cool pet shop that had something like a little 'sweetshop' for hamsters and buy selections of yoghurts, biscuits, hamster chocolate and jellies.

but my mum'll prob never let us get any more hamsters since Holly the mouse. XD she does have something against long tails. haha, one day, when i become a cranky old lady, i'll keep all the cats and dogs and hamsters and rabbits and mice i want. XD oh yea.


anyway, retreat is in 4 or 5 days! that's fast! i'm really excited about diarying everything down for jess and getting as many people as i can to write something for her. XD how fun!

i'm just worried about the coach journey there and back. no buddies. gosh. >< for 6 hours.

sweet song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaCaqojopg



should be doing my long overdue admin things which i have been neglecting. hai. 1 more day, wont die la.


2 more days till hols start. yay.

aiya, i should have been smart and not sed ok to do the cheerleading on sun. revival service sounds too good to miss.




i shall tell u all about susanna's amazingness.

I got really scared by something and i smsed susanna bout it and asked her to pray for me. when i called her, she was sleeping. the next day, she called me and told me that she woke at 2am and was prompted to pray for that issue and she was praying till 4am, not quite knowing why she was praying for that.

then she saw my message. XD

how cool is that, yes?
more than a coincidence.

i'm excited for my dad!!!

he's going on a mission trip to east timor with his church. how cool.

i'm feeling.... happy? and hopeful that he'll come home revived spritually.

i want to go on a mission trip someday too. XD


took a walk with esther and jess yesterday at botanics.
hmm.
i dunno.
it's nice i suppose.
i have no idea.
i dun know what i want.
or whether i want it in the first place.

and i'm pretty confused over a few things. but nah, i shan't go into it. haha.


anyway, training was super super slack today.
3 weeks of no training has totally depleted thigh muscles man, i was jumping on the tramp for like 2 jumps and i got 脚软 already.
haha i fell for like 4 consecutive times before i could jump properly. how loser.

mr teo was telling us about the routine connection for A div and telling us how to connect backsomer to halfturn sitdrop. and then jess turned to me and went ' chess club?'

HAHA


shin and i started reading books, at first doing conditioning at the same time. but after a while, we kinda forgot and just flopped on the yellow mats and read.

good eh? XD

reading distracts me.

i was taking clothes to the bathroom while reading and without looking, i dumped my shirt straight into the toilet bowl.

-_-

after which, i promptly screamed and fished it out.

yuck, wont be wearing it for some time now.




Jess's 16th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or rather, 15 ++++ XD

ok, so it was my fault tt jess knew about the surprise party.

i spent the night practising how to tell jess in a real casual tone that i wanted to go to her house to bake after church, and not surprisingly, i failed miserably. so the genius called the dad to pick her up and send her to jess's house!!!!! how smart is that?? XD

paul, shin, fiona, eunice chong, kelly, emily, dayna, jia and i went to hide in jess's room and blow balloons. and florence kept calling emily from the car to tell us where they were. then the doorbell rang and they went 'surprise!'

ay, no jess.


THEN CAME THE REAl SURPRISE


jess bounced out from the room wearing a ridiculous white plastic bag (paul thought it was a bra) on her head, dancing away and shouting 'surprise' back to us. apparently she'd decided that she couldnt act surprised and so climbed into her own house from the house below to surprise us back.


by the time it gets to florence's birthday, we'll be waiting to surprise her and she'll drop down from the ceiling wearing a pail on her head.

oh, i forgot to mention, the juniors got jess a bouquet of VEGGIES!!! super cool! with green veg and chillies for colour contrast.




oh dear, sch starts tomorrow. i don't feel like i still have 2 papers to take. it feels like holidays have started.

what made me real happy this week:
1. talking to susanna and discussing retreat together XD

2.someone from my old church commenting that i've become more prayerful XD XD

3.jess finding out that this lady at ORA ( i think she's an RI teacher) goes to grace assembly too and has worked on the dulos ship for 8 years!!!!!

4. finding out that my neighbour just walked into grace 2 w/o anyone inviting her and has been going ever since jan.



amen yes? XD




'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the
things I can, and wisdom to know the difference'

i have these words on photo frames, on cards, cups etc. so much so that i havent thought about the words much.

hmm...


before I forget,

happy mother's day!


and i still think that sundays take too long to come and yet monday comes too quickly.

oh yay!

liberation!! no more trigo, memorising special angles and drawing curves!!!

haha, seriously, a lot of wonderful people helped me out for math this time. if i dun pass, i should go and hide in a hole.

oh wellz, time for honeydew!



after physics SPA today, shiao and i went to walk around orchard and mostly what we did was talk and eat. XD yay, love ya!


i was standing by the wall by myself for bout 20minutes today doing absolutely nothing but watch the rain
- oh the luxury of time XD




d and d meeting on the 18th! our comm is moving really s.....l......o......w.......l........y. it's pretty slack and i dunno what ministry i can serve in once the dinner and dance is over. lester prob has enough ppl for crossroad47 by now and i think ushering has enough ppl already. maybe something cool will just drop down in front of me again.


"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "

Luke 12: 22-25

My favourite verse of the week! it's hard not to worry.

but i'm trying. and it makes it easier tt jess is trying alongside me too. XD


me: have faith man
jess: yea, let's have faith that the sch will flood tmr and exams will be cancelled.

HAHA

oh! someone is turning 15 +++++ soon yes?? hahaha, someone who refuses to admit tt she's getting old with the rest of us senior citizens. XD


it feels like christmas is coming soon. and it's gonna snow!!! and we can bake cookies and muffins all day long!



watch this ad. it's funny!!! haha thanks to huiwen. haha, the crab one is the best man!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K5Md4xakb4


hahahha

i got up in a really good mood today.

i went to class and gave jia ying a BIG grin and went' GOOD MORNING!!!' hahaha, the poor girl looked shocked. XD and on my way to the toilet, i told the cleaner, 'have a nice day!!' haha. XD


the great after-effects of having a good qt the night before




i feel real proud of our rs, auntie background picture and all. XD

it's meaningful, at least more meaningful than our sec 2 topic on the effect of catnip on cats. haha.

today, when we went down to the hospice, we were colour pencil sharpeners and waitresses. haha, we sat there and helped them with colouring for bout... an hour? i was sharpening pencils the whole time before tea. haha. and there were 2 rjc girls there. they were really friendly to us. XD nice seniors.



jess got her blueberry waffles at last. i got a crepe and i asked for no mayo. the man put thousand island sauce as replacement. aiyo.



Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord to give up i'd be a fool
You are my all in all

the dreaded event of the year, 2.4, is over and special thanks goes to fiona.

someone please make me go running before 2.4 next year.

after 2.4, jess paul shin fiona flo and i went for bubble tea at far east.
we realised tt shin really has a gangster's girlfriend look.





i've got two new math teachers!
namely joy the smart and lao da's girlfriend a.k.a shin.

hahaha. XD brilliant mathematician in the making.




hai back to memorising what sin2 x + cos2 x is before someone shoots me. XD

2.4 tmr!

help me think of some excuses to skip. XD




jess, jessie and i didnt go for french today.

we all fell asleep in 403 and we were so sound asleep tt we didnt wake up till jessie did. it was 4.

so we went down to see if the moelc bus was still there and we saw it leaving the sch gate.

then being so broke (we had about 6 dollars between the 3 of us), we had to take a bus. and we took the wrong bus but we didnt realise it till it reached the expressway. how smart is that.







rs presentation was quite ok. jess and i were laughing like nutters over the background of the presentation. it was this blue blackground with flowers and it really looked like some hawaiian theme. haha, which is really bad for a project like hospice care.






poor chelsia has a bad nose. must be the horrible aircon tt sends the 3 of us to the artic everyday.

our hands were so frozen by the last block that we couldnt write anything. and chelsia just fell asleep for the last 20 minutes.

today i had the first exam of my life in which i could EAT!!!!!
cheryl lynn and i were eating honey stars while writing our essays. XD

mr jeremy is the best. XD

i fell asleep last evening at 6 something, fully intending to get up at 8 to do work.

when i opened my eyes again it was 7 something in the morning!!!!

-tears hair out-

13 hours of sleep! haha





a no cheerleading no gym saturday feels just odd.

beautiful.

the juniors blog interesting posts. esp this one tt florence copied from kelly who adapted it from char.

ok, char ain't a junior.



Things happening on the day of tramp comp

1. You wake up in the morning, (for me that's about 6.40 am), rub your eyes, and suddenly, everything comes crashing down on you - today is THE day.
2. You bathe, even in hot water you're shivering badly. Put on your "luckiest" clothes, saying a silent prayer that hopefully these clothes might give you extra luck.
3. You go to school, unable to concentrate AT ALL, only thinking about the comp and visualising your routine.
4. You leave class early, your classmates wish you good luck, and you walk out of the class thinking that you will need the luck.
5. When you reach CCAB, it's lots and lots of gel for you. Seniors use so much gel, and you feel that they might as well use UHU superglue. You change into your leotard, feeling so conscious of yourself.
6. You start looking around at the other gymmers. Especially those from Nanyang, SCGS and Whitley. You glare at them, giving them that "You-are-so-gonna-be-owned-by-me" look, hoping to frighten them a little.
7. You wait. Stone. Play. Cam-whore. Talk. Exchange souvenirs.
8. THEN. That very announcement is made. "Will RGS C DIVISION GIRLS PLEASE REPORT AT THE BENCH?? RGS C DIVISION GIRLS."
9. Your heart thumps. It throbs like crazy. Shakily, you and your teammates walk in a straight row with fake smiles plastered on your faces. The six of you walk over to that disgusting, hated table where the almost always biased judges sit, and they look up at you, smiling evilly, thinking to themselves: "Ooh. RGS huh? Well sorry but none of you are about to get an Indiv or a score about 7.20."
10. The reserve person goes back to her seat on the bench, while the first jumper goes up the tramp, sits in the centre, her whole body shaking with fear, as seen from the trampoline shaking so badly. The other four stand at the corners of the trampoline, each thinking and praying that everyone would do well.
11. The bell rings. You have been training and working hard just to hear this bell. That bell, non-gymnasts are always deceived by its appearance. A little silver thing that rings so chirpily and melodiously is actually this deadly thing waiting for you to die.
12. You stand up, your knees clicking so hard, your hairs are standing on its ends, all goosebumps coming out, and you force out a "happy" smile, posing daintily at the judges for about 2 seconds.
13. You turn the other way round and pose again, for another 2 seconds. By this time your brain has already frozen, and you are unable to think of anything else other than your immense fear.
14. You start jumping. You jump and jump and jump. This is what you have been training for, what you have shed tears and blood for. Just this measly 30 seconds. You have suffered and undergone so much just for this 30 seconds.
15. You finish your routine, an avalanche of thought come rushing down to you. Have you aced the routine? Or did you screw it? Did you remember to point toes? Did you forget to do any part of your routine?
16. You pose again, and your next teammate comes up, awaiting the same thing that you have just went through.
17. You stare at the scoreboard. You stare and stare, pray and pray, wishing so so badly that the first number would be a '7'. And hopefully the numbers after that would be BIGGG. The bigger the better.
18. The. Score. Comes. Out. You look. The reality of it just refuses to sink into your head, whether or not it is a good or lousy score. You start crying for joy or sobbing in sadness. Your gym friends and supporters cheer no matter what.
19. After the comp, this huge burden that has been weighing you down for so long finally leaves you, and you feel this sense of relief. Then it's more waiting for you.
20. While waiting, if you're in a good mood, you start cam-whoring with your friends, doing all sorts of stunts and taking photos of them. If you're feeling really depressed after that, you would just go back to where you left your bag, hug it, and just wish that you could turn back time. Everyone else would be trying to console you but it won't work.
21. The other gymnasts would be either glaring at you in jealousy or they would be smirking triumphantly.
22. It's time for the results and the prize presentation ceremony. You gather with everyone else, either smiling happily and in satisfaction OR just hanging about there, wanting to go home and cry cry cry.
23. The results are announced, you either get to go up and collect that stupid piece of metal, or you don't.
24. It's time for the "celebratory" or "victory" dinner whether or not you won anything.
25. If you and everyone else owned the comp, it would be jokes, jokes, more jokes, scandals etc etc. If not, then well, Paul, Jess and Claire would be trying to break the awkward silence and misery.
26. You go home, either proudly carrying this little trophy or just empty handed.

THE END OF THAT FATEFUL DAY.









oh yes! 2.4 is postponed for us!! - dances around-

and after wed, almost everything stressful will be over.tho it's not tt i'm stressed over gym now.

well, definitely not as much as those competing

and the ri coach showed some ppl's routines to the ri trampers. gosh.



luv ya fiona!!! Let's make donuts together soon! XD

RI tramp was super bouncy. I'm glad to see the seniors again, and it's such a great pleasure to write 'seniors'. XD haha dun feel so [edit]old anymore.



i'm glad our RS is moving slightly again. but oh man, i don't really want to do van help again. i was trying to listen to the lady tell me stuff and to the hospice worker teaching me how to get the patients off the van. and to seem like an active listener, i had to turn my head for bout an hour? haha when jess and i reached back to the hospice, we both were giddy and headachish. and jess sed tt she was falling asleep in the van tt she was following. haha

i'm falling asleep already. goodnight!



and btw, i think huiwen has the best blog entries i've ever read. hahaha, i love her posts man. XD

tarbet tango!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt0ooYDknck


how on earth did we manage to get 1st for routine? we were so messy compared with waddle or buckle. haha no wonder limjie had to eat so many fruit tarts to destress when drilling us. HAHA!





and my fringe has been murdered by this new hairdresser. cos i decided tt my fringe was gettting too long but the usual hairdresser wasn't in and my mum was telling me that this lady was quite ok too.

when we got there, the lady just asked me how i wanted it and then she just very carelessly took scissors and chopped it off! i almost died there and then. she was asking if it was ok and i nodded like crazy all the time thinking,'oh man, NO!!!'

i half ran out of the place and the first thing i said was,' thank goodness i didn't let her lay hands on the rest of my hair.'

oh no... damage control now. tt's what you get for betraying your regular hairdresser.



hospice again tomorrow!!! XD

more cinnamon donuts!!! hooray!

i've eaten a record amount of honeystars and honeydews today.

i brought honeystars to sch and cheryl lynn bought me honeydew and honeystars and i went home and ate more honeydew. HAHA, this is obsession man! cos i'm officially tired of chocolate for now, though i suspect it wont last. haha.


jess and I carried a yoshinoya tray paper around looking for the hospice today cos jess so smartly wrote the directions there on that paper!!! HAHA, surely we looked absolutely sane.




anyway.


thank God for jess.
yea, really. XD




trials are on sat and i've totally not trained. I felt super stiff when i was stretching earlier. man, splits hurt!

oh no ><


it's finally sinking in that trials are really near. and so is the dreaded 2.4 run of the year.



i should learn from josh and wake up at 4.30 to pray. man, that would be awesome. and i wouldn't even get into a fight if someone told me hcl smells like strawberry. HAHA!!!! XD


u know it's quite interesting that people spell my name wrong all the time.

(and when i correct them, some will even stare at me incredulously and ask me if i'm sure. I mean, of course i'm sure, it's my name!!)

shermaine, shermin, sharmaine,sher-min,charmaine,charmine.

wah every variation also have.

and the thing is, unlike people with the uncommon sounding names like my sis, sheranne, people assume that it's spelt as one of the above and so no one will ask me how it is spelt. haha that's how i get it all warped.

that's still ok but it gets annoying when people mis-spell it repeatedly. for example, at forms ballet, for 7 long years, they spelled it as shermaine though i repeatedly tried to get them to change it until i gave up and just cancelled out all the 'a's on the forms by myself. tosh. and my aunt still believes that my name does not have an 'e' at the back. haha

random rantings triggered off by someone spelling my name wrong again. haha, oh wellz, it happens all the time. XD

I'M PEELING LIKE AN ONION!!!

unlike jess, who was fascinated by the peeling and even kept her skin a a plastic bag, i was horrified. haha, my sis and i devised such a great plan to get rid of the skin. we pasted sticky tape all over my shoulders and back and off came the dead skin! hooray for exfoliation.

hahaha, now i have white normal skin coloured patches in between the burnt skin. yucky yucky, that means no tanks till it's normally coloured again. haha.




I was eating honey stars and this very random thought came into my head.

Shin is funny.

and for no reason i started laughing at shin's nonsense.
Note: I was sitting by myself.

tt's crazy. haha


the baby discuses are super cute. not as cute as lim jie's baby bunnies but still cute. haha the 3rd kind of fish we managed to breed. guppies, siamese fighters and now discuses. XD

now my dad has no reason to go buy those fish and watch 30 dollars swim around in the tank.



Praise God, it's easter!!! XD

' are u sunburnt?' or 'how's your shoulder?' has become like a greeting amongst the tarbet cheerleaders. HAHA!!!

jess is undoubtedly the most burnt. poor thing. and we've all been comparing ugly tanlines. one thin line and 1 thick line each. haha

all the videos are up on youtube except tarbet's!!! how can!

my dad bought me a new prayer bible. yay!

A day without prayer is a day without blessing
A life without prayer is a life without power


shin, fiona and paul sang me a song in class! oh man, so embarassing but thanks! XD luv you all!!! <3

and thanks to everyone who remembered. XD

i want some honeydew, or apples. i'll even settle for a pear. but there ain't no fruits!
I do have 2 huge bars and 4 tubes of chocolates though. haha, i'm sad to say i managed to munch my way through 1 tube and half a bar so far. amazing aren't i?

hmmm... 265 days to christmas.

i feel so free because ss pt's been extended to sat. i'm supposed to be doing RS now, and all i did was edit my slides. oops.

jess and i were discussing her e-gig and my d n d during french today. hmm... i hope our comm can be as bonded as hers. which should be easier since we only have 5 ppl and e-gig has 20.






The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.

Zephaniah 3:17

jess, shi hua, lynn, christine, lim jie and i had cheerleading sleepover last night, all the scandalous story telling by someone was quite fun except tt i was really sleepy. haha, and jess was studying maths!!!! crazy!

we woke up early in the morning, christine and i decided to bathe and wash our hair again. haha, wore costumes, did make up and hair stuff and went down to the stadium. the first thing we did was not to practise, not to cheer, not to touch up make up, but to tie shoe laces. yes,tie shoe laces. we sat there for bout half an hour changing our shoe laces to the red and black ones. and i've got a really horrible toga tanline and sun burn from... umm the sun? hmm, we did ok i think, considering the other houses were all so good. yepp.

i think sarah and i used up half of shi hua's conterpain cream to split. whoops.

and now, i can eat!!! no more worries about killing the skirt. like i did this morning when i sneezed. haha.

anyway, it was fun and i'll have something to look back on since it's likely that the other wont turn out well for me. yepp.

and i really think i'll miss the team.
lynn'd better send us the photos soon. XD




i'm trying to draw my ss pt now, and i'm trying to draw muscles. and it doesn't look one bit like muscles.

it looks like a straw with two uneven bumps. oh no






oh , yes cell picnic.

wah fun too. XD

at first, we were throwing water bombs
then we started throwing wet sponges
and then ppl starting using the entire bucket to dunk water

man, i just bathed in the morning and my hair got so wet again. haha, the girls didn't change out, so jess, yuhui, joong yan, abi and i were shivering away at service. oh man, keith's leaving so soon!!! HOW CAN????


i've got a great cell. XD

tomorrow there'll be 8 hours of cheerleading!!! haha 7-10 in the morning and 7-10 at night.
this is called:

LAST MINUTE



jess's mom has revived my love for oldies man. XD


i'm looking forward to cell picnic. yes yes. XD

and i'm getting excited for power praise. my sis is finally making an attempt to join the youth at grace. and maybe leican will come! isn't tt exciting? haha





Jesus is my strength

i'm sending viruses. oh noooo.....

tt's the way my com works man, every few months it'll break down or something.

and i had dinner at an amazing 11 o'clock! ain't tt pro? but it still doesn't beat sab's record of 12 midnight.

all cos of cheerleading. tarbet house always like tt, rushing to prac just before comp. and lydia came down from rj to visit us. hmm.. sport's fest is next mon, tt's really quite soon.

and so are the 2nd gym trials. aiya.

my dad went to play some tennis/badminton game today and now he really believes that he's super fit and he's making plans to buy running shoes so that he can go running, as i quote from him, he said' i'm really quite impressed with myself!' hahahahha, my dad is super funny, and he was jumping around all the way home trying to get me to do boxing with him and reliving the days when he was a boxer. hahaha. that's my dad for you. XD


i'm sleepy.


why is christmas taking so long to come?!?!? haha

this box of ko ko krunch tastes SALTY! yuck. i can actually taste the salt in there.

and there's a really yummy looking honeydew sitting in the kitchen.

except i dun think my mum would be too pleased if i chopped it open and ate it.

and i just realised that my house really doesn't stock food for people with bad throats.
during my search for a snack, i found chocolates, biscuits, chips, more chocolate, chocolate biscuits, instant noodles.

my mum's been telling me really inspirational stuff each time she goes for her homemaker's bible study or when she goes to g2/teban gardens to help out.

there're so many ordinary people who lead extraordinary lives.


hmm... ... cool



and today she was talking about confession of sin. and tt was really interesting.

she was telling me bout wat her grp covered today and it was about why we should verbalise our confessions.we can argue that God is omnipresent and He will know even if we just confess it in our hearts. but my mum told me tt we have to rmb tt satan isn't all-knowing and so we verbalise it so that satan hears our declaration and he doesn't have a grip on us anymore. yepp, wasn't tt cool?

haha i feel like telling some of the stories but i haven't done RS. aiya just 1 then. XD

there was this lady who discovered that she has a fibroid in her womb but when her doctors scheduled an operation, they decided that it wasn't so serious that they had to remove the entire womb and so they decided to just remove that fibroid. when this lady got home, she felt God speaking to her and telling her to just remove the entire womb. and, by which i feel was a great leap of faith, she decided to do as God said.

when the operation was over, they sent the umm... stuff they removed for some tests. when the results came back, they told her that she'd actually had cancer cells in her womb. so by removing the womb, she'd cut off the cancer cells before they had a chance to spread.

wasn't that a 'wow' story? i think it's really amazing tt she decided to follow God's voice even tho the doctors told her it wasn't necessary.

i feel really full now cos i've been glugging water the whole night. and i've been needing the toilet every 15 mins. hahahaha

and shin is right. we should revive our gym blog. yupp, just tt i forgot the password tt that one. haha uh oh.

my dad, sis and i just trie to use binoculars to look at the fish tank. yes, the fish tank. all because the parent fish were blocking our view of the fry and we couldn't get too close or they'd get agitated.

so there we were, peering at the tank 1 m away with binoculars. haha.

it's raining!!!! yay, what nice weather.

i feel like snuggling up under the blankets with a good book and cookies.

last night i had a horrifying nightmare.











the world's greatest disaster.









i dreamt tt my mum made me shave bald!!!!!!!

wahh, horrific ain't it. -shakes head-



and i read this really sad book of jess's, 'my sister's keeper' which made me cry at subway. oh man how embarassing.

makes ppl think abt this kind of ethical dilemna.

are parents who have a kid to save a sibling being good or bad parents?

makes me wonder what i'd do if i were in the position of the kid who has been donating blood and cells and organs and everything else to her sis ever since she was born.

hmm... shan't be a spoiler and say more.




next month is gonna be a crazy month.
sports fest in 2 weeks and gym comp in a month.


oreos and milk are nice. but i should stop eating them. ok, i'll stop. hang on! i'll go put them in the fridge where they belong

ok i'm back!

oh man, my sis just poured water on my head!!!!!!!!!!! crazy girl!! tt's it man. she's dead.

my hair is wet again, and now she's brandishing a scissors at my hair. oh man, this is my nightmare come true!!!

haha i just made my sis sound like an lunatic on the loose. but considering the number of times she's attempted to chop off locks of my hair or colour my hair red or something, this is certainly cause for worry.

that's all for today folks! goodnight and God bless! XD

[edit]

during gym camp,fiona and i went to coffee club to eat a mud pie. super yummy!! and so ex, but as fiona and i decided, worth it. XD first time i've had coffee ice cream and i wasn't so sure tt i'd like it since i cant stand coffee but it didn't even taste like coffee!

shin's my newfound shopping buddy!!!! hooray!! when shin and i were trying to decide between the red, purple and white tank, jess was standing there and shouting 'get the yellow'. hahaha, and i got a pair of biscuit sized hoops. it feels rather heavy tho and i'm a bit afraid of something dumb happening like combing my hair and the earring together. aiya, dun care, it's nice.

food hunt was fun! the rhythmic gymmers in my grp were so cooperative man. oh, the part where we had to hold a pose at the mrt station was... painful. haha natasha and i did the lift the leg in the air thing and we were grabbing each other's shirts after just 30 seconds to keep the leg there. after 2 mins plus, jess and lim jie decided to be kind to us and let us change pose, so we did bridge for the next 1 and a half mins. oh man. so dizzy!!! i was seeing jess dance around us upside down. haha, qte interesting to watch people walk around upside down. someone took a picture of our grps's pose, qte nice actually. feng yue wanted to do handstand for the entire 4 mins. thank goodness she didn't.

our grp's pose!
n YY n
\ ____ /

n- bridge
Y - the leg lifting
/\ - left and right split
__ - centre split

for about 2 seconds when i woke up this morning, i totally blanked out and looking back, it was quite a nice feeling not to think about anything for a while.

i had a good much needed amt of alone time at g2 today while waiting for jess to finish her follow up with mel. g2's garden is very conducive for sorting out thoughts and praying and basically thinking about things. yepp.

hmm trials tmr.

hai.

1. i came home today to find my toilet super wet and messy. reason? A couple of the scouts doing their job week thing came over and attempted to mop the place. hahahah, and in pouring away the water, they messed up the toilet and my mum had to clean up after them. HAHA, my dad wasted his thirty bucks. haha, oh wellz, it happens every year. and then my dad will dig out all his scout badges and everything amd ask them A LOT of questions about scouts now and all that. hahaha

2. hooray, it's the hols!!! XD This should be self explanatory.


3. went down to church yest to do the r-age awareness thing but it was quite slack and so, josiah, joshua, joong yan and i went to the playground to play. we were like little kids man. playing hopscotch!!!! and scissors paper stone and some other dumb games. hahaha, so fun. XD

oh and over dinner, we played the game that mrs lee taught us in UK. the 'open close open close' one. hahaha, i was so proud of myself tt i understood 1 game man. cos i was clueless as to what was going on most of the time, haha

4. mel and i realised that we've been in close proximity for very long but just didn't know it. she stays so close to me, we danced in the same sch for so long and we just found out today that we performed in the same concert together too! haha, how cool.

5. countdown to gym trials. 2 days!!! oh man. tmr's the last training!! how can???

6. jess and i tried to teach the cell the clapping game that my class loves to play. HAHA, it was so messy and so slow and everyone was clapping out of beat.

awww man, shin is so sweet.

thanks shin!

HAHAHAHAHAH the japanese banana song is the cutest!!!!
the chipmunk voices are super super cute. after reluctantly downloading it from shin, i've listened to it like 5 times in a row. hahahha SO CUTE!!!! i laughed like a nutter after hearing it.


japanese banana ( red ones are the chipmunks singingXD)

Ah, isn't it beautiful, boys, the ancient land of Japan!
Boy, sure is pretty!It sure is!
I'm hungry! I want a banana!
Stop it now.
Now, that's famous Mount Fujiyama, and look at the pretty cherry blossoms!
This is a land that has everything: rice, grapes, pearls-
Any bananas? (No, they don't grow-)
I want a banana!
Good idea! Let's have a banana!
Yeah, banana!
Boys, let's not make a fool of ourselves.
Now, don't do anything to embarrass me.
I'll never bring-
[Chorus]If we have a Japanese banana
It would be so very nice
Want a juicy Japanese banana
Don't want the cherries and rice
We can see they have so many things
And we are glad that it's so
But do they grow a Japanese banana
That's what we'd like to know
Did you have to do that, Alvin?
What!
You and your brothers, singing about a banana like that.
We're hungry for bananas!
There are no bananas! There are plenty of cherries?
Do you like cherries?
well, as a matter of fact, yes I do. I like cherries.
We like bananas!
Alvin, I've told you to be polite on this street!
Now would you please calm down and stop this-
[Chorus]
That's the worst banjo player I've ever heard!
That's not a banjo, Alvin, that's a samisan!
That's the worst samisan player I've ever heard!
...
Do they have any grapes here?

XD oh tarbet's first for swim carn!!!! amazing!!!! hahaha

exams are over, for this term at least.

we watched some sweet movie during chinese today. one of those pretty cliche romance movies but still nice. haha, it felt a bit like post EOYS man. and the exams've barely started. in the next 2 terms, we'll have to take bout 37 tests which is about 2 per week.

madness.

gym trials on tues. i've been wondering about how i'd react if i don't get in. haha i dun noe...

suddenly i miss scream cell very much. r.i.p is great but i just miss having cell with scream on sat nights. haha

during the french paper on wed, i realised tt i lent my watch to my sis!!!! and there was no clock at the front of the class. there was a clock behind the class but there was a guy right behind me so i couldn't possibly turn around during the exam. i almost died. haha, i realised only during the listening compre and so i was worrying bout the watch thing and i realised tt the radio had already finished reading 1 or 2 passages but it's ok cos no one understood what the person was saying anyway and the class just started laughing.

had a cool talk with my mum this week. been talking to her more recently. and she was sharing about her homemaker's cell group and the struggles and encouragements. and i was thinking tt it was really cool tt my mum shares this kind of thing with me. XD

hmm.... i need to pray more. i've been rushing a bit this week and getting distracted with sudden rushes of panic of how to test for sulphates or something like tt. >< and i have to keep reminding myself to focus on the right thing.

thank God for all the encouraging ppl from sch and cell and gym. all the smses, chats, phone calls and prayers are very very much appreciated. XD

my sis is at camp!!! and it's very weird to not have her around. haha, no one to fight with about who has to turn off the lights at night. ( yea man, we fight abt tt bout once a week, hahaha) and no one to talk to before i go to sleep.

it feels like a million years since i last went to church. and i'm supposed to be doing math PT now. haha.

where's my sis when i need her man?

Our cell is going to do R-age awareness next week! That's pretty cool but i don't really know what we're supposed to do. and as mel was saying, it's our first and last project together as a cell since we split into all-girls and all- guys today.

i found out that 1 subway cookie has about 2 times the amt of fat as compared to a 6 inch sub. wow. and the double choc isn't even the most fattening, the white chip one is the worst. jess is gonna be shocked. haha

and i think this french controle is gonna be super hard. i cant study for anything tt's tested besides vocab. oh no!!!

my new seating arrangement place is colder than the artic man. i brought double jackets to sch and out of the 6 of us in that spot, huiwen and chelsia have already gotten a bad nose. it was super funny when one morning, huiwen whipped out an entire box of tissues for her nose. HAHA!!!

and cheryl lynn, chelsia and i are crazy bout cereal i tell u. we eat cereal everyday. it's madness. hahaha, milk and berry stars, honey stars, ko ko krunch. YUMMY!!!! XD

and they're super funny man. XD

there's a rope outside our window for the repairmen to climb up and it's really scary cos i keep thinking tt ppl will suddenly pop their heads into the window. hahahaha.

talked to my mum again today, she still wont let me do crossroad but at least now i can do the dinner and dance thing. YAY, it's a start. hahaha, i now have some kind of area to serve in. XD

and pastor ronald preached something tt addressed an issue i was facing which is really cool. yepp. XD

jess and i are planning to run tmr after sch. haha, hope we get to. XD

i'm munching on those really yummy wafer biscuits.
they're as addictive as corn thins.

my cheerleading skirt is ultra tight. it's like some corset, i bet i won't be able to zip it if i eat, and
my intestines are gonna get displaced.haha.

i'll try to sleep early today so tt i'll look fresh when i have 'the talk' with my mum.. oh nooo. hahaha, it's very hard to know what someone is saying on the phone when your mum is standing there and telling you how you shouldn't be on the phone so late at night and then glaring at you.

abi's coming back tmr at 5am! haha but jazi's family are gonna go back to hk tmr as well.

jess did something dumb today. since we were walking to far east for subway, jess dumped her pom poms into some plastic bag. and then when we reached, she started searching for her phone. being so convinced tt it was buried somewhere in the pom poms, she searched the entire world for her phone to no avail. so i called her and then her pocket started vibrating!! HAHAHAH so funny!!!

and i'm pretty lousy at encouraging. i hope i'll find the right words to say.

i pray that you'll keep strong in the Lord.

why no cell or service this week. i want to go to church.

i dun wanna go back to school. i haven't done my math. thank goodness for sab last month and cheryl lynn this month. haha.

ps cuixian asked me to do admin for the dinner and dance thing for church. haha how exciting! and it's not even scary like jess's evangelistic gig thing. XD

last day of hols tmr. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

i'll just go and hide under the bed and not come out.

i havent even started on any of my PTs!!!

gosh, the thought of sch is killing me

yihui just told me SS pt draft is due wed!! which is 2 days from now??? OH NOOO. gotta go do now. :(

cell outing after cny celebrations yesterday!!!

it was quite fun tho not the whole cell was there. and something cool and unexpected happened. anyway, i think it'd be quite sad if we have to split cells in june or something. aiyo.

cny service was pretty good too, jess and i sat at coffee bean drinking snapple for bout 2 hours and we saw our ex gym captain- DENISE!!! XD
haha but it was quite sad tt jess and i arrived at church 1 and a half hours early and then were 10 mins late for service!!!! haha.

and it's very healthy to be on the phone at night. cos i won't eat when i'm on the phone!!! XD i didn't even snack at all last night!!!! amazing!!!! hahahahaha

i found out tt my toilet has been invaded with pictures of cats. hahaha, my sis prob stuck them there this morning. it was ariel for a while then winnie the pooh, now the cats. HAHA

poor jazi fell asleep yest before we really talked so we talked pretty much the whole morning. XD

hana kimi is such a nice show!!!!!! shin was right!!!! hahaha i missed both the 1st and 2nd episode so i'm watching it from youtube. XD

oh and someone told me tt washing ur hair too much will give u cancer. cos of the chemicals from the shampoo or something. so people like shin and I who wash and condition our hair are going to die soon. hahaha, and jess is gonna live a very long life. HAHAHHA, ideally u shld wash once every 2-3 days but i wash twice a day!!! oh no. i'm gonna die! hahah

happy valentine's day everyone!!! XD

so fun, everyone was giving out sweets, chocs and stuff. XD

changed seats already. now with cheryl lynn and chelsia. XD haha my seat is freezing cold la. the aircon is directly at us and we're gonna have to bring winter wear soon. hahaha

yay! i hope there's cell outing on fri. how fun. (: hope tt everyone can come tho, some ppl are busy till pretty late. hai.

another week's over!!! didn't do hw on fri or sat. and i napped so i only started on my work in the evening!

on sat jess and i did sab's recipe for the marshmellow krispies thing. hooray! it was so fun. melting those marshmellows and then i kinda dunked too much red colouring on 1 batch so 1 batch was much pinker than the other. and the pot was a horrendous mess with sticky gooey things all over the sides. and it was super sticky and hard to pluck out and put in the muffin cups. and jess and i were stressing over how to clean the pot and jess told me to just bring the pot home and hide it. HAHAHHA, then sher the genius suggested using boiling water to soak the pot and hooray! ALL the sticky stuff came out and we were saved! XD hahaha

gosh i'm aching from conditioning. haha, so little and my back and legs are aching. so lousy!! hahahha, thank goodness we didn't have to do stomach conditioning tt day, i'd have died.

shiao came for cell today!! yay!!! it's great to have more ppl from our sch to go for cell!!! XD i hope jia can come again next week. XD

i've been eating non-stop today. had about 8 chocs?? tt's crazy. the scales are gonna explode. haha.

trying to pick out an important article in a chinese newspaper will kill me. cant read so many words. sheesh.

oh no... i'm getting back those crazy nostalgic feelings bout ballet. and i was thinking about all those dancers who didn't quit. they'd be getting ready to take their grade 8 exams during the march hols. hai. if only i didn't quit, i'd probably be doing tt too.

i wonder who Say Hwee will partner this year. after all, we've been ballet partners for like 7 years?? after knowing her dance style and practising together before and after class to complement each other and dancing in synchrony, it's kinda weird to think tt someone else will be partnering her this yr. it's very weird to think of pairing up with anyone else to dance for that matter.

and i've missed my chance to be like wanchee. who took her grade 8 in sec 4. :(


ok, that aside, sch has been quite boring so far. i'm falling asleep even during bio!! horrible. haha cos i get so muddled up over all the meiosis stages. and i was really peeling my eyes open during geog. so boring...

oh yes! hooray! shiao will probably be coming for cell this sun! yay yay yay!!!

cheerleading

we didn't do much but it was quite fun cos almost the whole squad was there except tessa. and tessa was supposed to bring the speakers, so we had no music. so we just praced the previous steps. aiyo so hard >< and then we did cheers very loudly. haha, and got the attention of the buckle cheerleaders, and the waddle and richard mass dance sec 1s. hahaha

gym

jess and i went earlier cos we thought she had follow up, and i felt so great doing conditioning by myself la. haha, no stress to finish fast. XD and mr teo was talking so much to us. haha, and trying to determine our personality and future love life. hahahahahaahha.

G2

aiya, it didn't sound funny when i typed it out but it's the kind of thing tt is only funny if u're there.

but anyway, we had a bit of trouble eating the you tiao, so we asked almost anyone present to help us with it and their varying reactions was funny. haha.



so... i am baking now. yep. at 11. 30pm. hahahha tt's a first. hai. i shld have baked it yest instead.


and i've only 4 lousy questions for my french survey and i wanted to finish by tonight. hai.

it's ok, it's still a good day! and i'm excited for cell and service tomorrow!!! hooray!

a much better week than before!

ms ko is super funny and she makes worse jokes than mr ng.

her jokes are so not funny that it's actually funny.

i'm reading my past entries and laughing away at all the dumb things we did during the hols. hahah but so far, the coming-from-gym-stinking-away- and -trying-not-to-kill-lester entry made me laugh the most.

jess hogging the air purifier and knocking down the flower stand is so funny man.
its simple hilarious. and lester looking quite confused when jess and i laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed, which just made us laugh more.
HAHAHAHAHHA, i cant stop laughing.

our hols in 2006 were really well spent. the uk trip made the june hols great and all the church stuff made dec really meaningful and fun too! and i realise tt we've been attending grace aog since early sept last year. which means tt as of tmr, we would have attended grace aog for5 months, almost half a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME FLIES. gosh. i didn't realise tt we're not THAT new anymore. ><

my printer must take a break for like 2 mins after printing every single page. print page 1, rest 2 mins, print page 2 rest 2 mins. how sad.

i'm taking forever to print the french stuff.

i haven't done work!!! I came home, read the papers and went to sleep and only woke up when jess called to tell me tt she came home, did qt and went to sleep. hahaha.

the cell has been pretty encouraging with all the praying and smsing, esp david and mel. and i've a really great accountability partner now! XD Abigail is so nice. :)

some of the lyrics of the really touching song we sang on sun.

unfailing love

And everything You hold in Your hand
Still you make time for meI can't understand
Praise You God of Earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change God You remain
The Holy One
My Unfailing love
Unfailing love

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that it is the testing of your faith develops perservance.

james 1:2

someone told me tt sometimes we do not understand His will, or why things have to be this way, but it is all part of His perfect plan.

ps cuixian was being really sweet accompanying me to stand around while i waited for jess. and talking abt it made me tear a little even though i never knew her.

and walking home from g2, jess and i saw a crashed motorcycle with the front glass smashed. wat a tragic night

i'm tired. it hasn't been a very perfect week.i haven't been praying well, i haven't been getting good marks for anything,i haven't been in the best of moods and i haven't always been feeling God. but i know tt He's there always. through everything

Jesus loved us enough to die so that anyone who believes goes there with Him. it's tt simple. you can't put a 'why' to love.

i just did an interview abt the hospice stuff. how depressing.

and my hp rang halfway and then NO ONE picked up for me. how annoying. cos the number is withheld and i cant even call back.

Jesus loves me and He loves you too. He's waiting to pour out His love and grace if only you will just run to Him.

-there's no greater love than this-

something mr jeremy showed us. it's a campaign for real beauty. yea. it's a cool clip. watch it.

http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/flat4.asp?id=6909

mm hmm...

another week's over!

what a weird week. i've been sleeping at like 9.30 or 10.30 for the WHOLE week and still feeling tired in the morning. cos i'm so tired by 9pm that i cant even keep my concentration during prayer and i get through half the list of people i want to pray for and then i start praying generally. haiz. it was this bad till thurs? when I really prayed. for everything tt's been happening. yepps.

and i've been having an unexplainable fetish for bathing in the morning everyday tho it's freezing and then wake everyone up by having to use the hair dryer at 5 plus in the morning!!!HAHAHA.

All i've done for the night is to make the cover for someone's b'day card. and i still have 2 more to go. next week's a happy week. 3 wonderful people are celebrating their birthday!!! and since i might not post entries to wish them happy birthday if i still continue this craziness of sleeping early, i shall wish them happy birthday now.

Happy birthday to:
1.Joong Yan
(fellow R.I.Per XD)
2. Lester
( R-ager and a really helpful person should you need to ask someone something at an unearthly hour XP)
3. Eileen
( 403er!!!! and someone i got to know better only late last yr. haha XD)

aiya not like they'll see this but nvm. XD

XD yay! i love all my friends man!!!

and i'm going to DIE tmr. cheerleading at 7!!! what an unearthly hour!!! and i haven't done qt. and i haven't prayed. and all i did was 1 card! i planned to finish all 3 by today.
aiya....

chemfire was... weird. hahah we did some magic eggs in magic land worksheet asking us to count sony side up eggs, skrambled eggs and uh half boyed eggs which come in darzens which means 888. hahahahha!!!!!!!!!!! melanie, jess and i were just copying each other. lol.

I'm.... sleepy... and i haven't done anything. I waste so much time everyday.

i miss G2. haven't been there for so long since i've stopped going for YA. and tmr i'll get to see it!!! hooray!!! accompanying jess to her meeting at G2 tmr. i've been tempted to take the bus to G2 when i go home , walk 1 round around G2 and then walk home. but tt's plain dumb so i contented myself with walking backwards once, so tt i face G2 longer. ok tt sounds even dumber. thank goodness i didn't trip or bump into someone. hahahha.

alrightez.... off to do qt now...

my mum has taken hiding chocolate from me to an all new level. from hiding it with the veggies, she has now decided to hide it in a shoebox in the storeroom!!!! :0 haha. quite funny for us to now have to go search a shoebox ( of coz a very clean one) for chocs. XD

my whole entire family is going on about sleep deficiency these few days. it used to be about the handphone thing and how i'd get radiation. now it's about not sleeping. haha, sadly, my mum has decided tt i should sleep at 9 today.

my rhema tape still doesn't work!!! hai... got to get jess's tape to watch. how sad.

cell was good. yep. R.I.P'07 is great. the people are so nice and we have great CMs. XD

YAY we celebrated Paul's b'day today!!! SO FUN SO FUN

we missed our stop to holland village so we had to walk in the rain to the opposite side and we got extremely wet in the process. jess and I were wearing shoes and so we ran throught the rain puddles screaming. hahahha. anw, we reached swensens really wet. then we SO SUBTLELY got the waitress to give paul the hamper we bought at the petrol kiosk consisting of a lot of random stuff that we scotch taped together. haha, then coz it was paul's b'day, the restaurant gave Paul a FREE SUNDAE!!! the firehouse one i think. HOW COOL IS TT??? hahha, oh, clara and jess with their big mouths told everyone so much nonsense. ><

then we did finger painting at the bus stop!!!! jess drew crabs, elephants, octopus, crocs and fish on everyone's hands and i drew the most beautiful shrimp on paul's hand. it is the best shrimp in the world la. so cute, it can nod it's head when paul bends her finger. XD the bus took 40 minutes or longer to come and then it came consecutively 4 times. how horrendous but by then i'd called my dad to save us.


cheerleading was ok i guess. my dad was going on and on about how i'll get sleep deficiency soon. haha. We didn't do much just did the first few steps of the El nin yo dance ( did i even spell tt right? XD) the other houses are really good la. esp buckle. haha...

jess and i sat at long john silver's from 9-11am today trying to decide the worship stuff. aiyo... and then we prayed for tmr as well. well, as big mel and david sed, it's about the heart. so yea... we can do it! XD yes we can, through God who gives us strength. XD

I've been writing minutes the whole time. and i think i shld send to someone to check my grammar. hahaha. soon, sheryl and I will be so pro at taking minutes tt the whole world will want us to take their minutes for them.

and i've set up a drama theatre for shin and I. and we are shinspeare and sherspeare. HAHA. shin doesn't think it's funny tho. and she didn't even like our first production for the king entitled: the banana and the sock. XD. It's great.

I need ice cream tommorow. it's urgent. My arteries and uh.. muscles are collapsing from the lack of ice cream in my life for the past week. and i've been scoffing chocs for the past half hour, attempting to make up for the ice cream in my blood. horrible. ><
it takes more willpower to look at chocolates in the eye and not eat them than to do pushups.

I want to go for fusion rally.........

jess and i have to show mrs wong our rs file next tues. We die. we haven't done minutes and reflections since last yr and we have no lit review to speak of in our file. in short, we are doomed.




Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You my Lord

this is just a random collection of thoughts over 2 hours, dinner and 2 keyboards.

1.math test is over, hooray!!!

2.Jess took my beautiful set of markers!!! I only realised this horrendous fact when I wanted to do Paul's card and couldn't find those markers.

3.today jess made a phone call to one of the church people which sent her into hysterical mode. She was in a state of shock for the next hour. hahahaha. hyperventilating and fainting on the tables clutching her head. hahaha.

4.poor fiona and the rest of the sec 3s. OBS now. at least it didn't really rain very much today I think.

5.man. the weekends fly. and the weekdays take forever to get over with.

6.hmm... cheerleading starts this week. All the other houses have started already I think. Tarbet's last to start as usual.

7.I attempted praying aloud after QT yest. so weird. like talking to myself. and i'm super long winded when I pray by myself. I harp on the same point for like forever.

8.My mum is super nice! She's been buying me so many nice shirts. which jess thinks is absolutely atrocious. haha.

9.I lied at cell tt day.>< haha. cos my question during truth or dare was what I think about most often. andI think about church stuf and church ppl most often now but big mel sed tt I couldn't give a model answer. so i sed gym. haha.

10. The R.I.P cell people are so nice tt I feel horrible for not being open because of my... uh... weirdness.


But those who wait upon God get fresh strength . They spread their wings and soar like eagles, they run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.

I was pretty much being a grouch yesterday coz of all the stuff on sat and sun plus a looming impending death for today's math test. and the above verse ministered to me. isn't it a nice verse? XD

Someone asked if they could call Abigail 'Abi' and then smart jess had to add (without realising tt it's a girl's name) if we could call poor Josiah 'josi' ok i dun noe how to spell tt. but anw, that was really funny and now all the other guys have taken to calling poor Josiah 'josi'. so funny

I was talking bout cell last yr and I mentioned tt our leaders were adults, then Josiah looked at big mel and went' isn't she an adult' which set her screaming. hahahahhahaha. She's abt our age, see. so so so funny. poor mel. hahhaha

Mr Aw was our philo teacher and he's really funny but he thinks our class is weird and he told us he's gonna have nightmares bout us. hahahha. cos he made us all share some little know fact thing and some were really funny. Chelsia swallowed a 50 cent coin cos she didn't want the teacher to see that they were going to buy drinks. and some others la. I can't rmb aready. then he told me tt I look guai. and I sed of coz i am and he sed 'I dun think so, seeing tt u're in this class'

hahahah. another person who thinks I act guai. come on. I am. -big sweet smile- XD

today's is Paul's birthday and today, she turns 16!!! HOORAY!!!! haha, I should have posted this at 16:16. then tt'd be so cool but it's too late now. haha

I fell asleep earlier and i didn't study math. oh noo.... but i'm feeling more fresh and awake than earlier so hopefully I'll be able to put in few hours of studying maths later. If not I die.

the ppl at cell are really nice but I miss scream'06. It's a bit weird for me in a mixed cell. but i'll get used to it in a while.


and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN PAUL!!! XD XD XD

ok i meant cupboard.

and i'm feeling really happy.

not because jess and paul are sick
not because my rash is still there
not cos shin and i moaned bout jc todae
not cos there's math test on mon
not cos there's physics diagnostic test which will probably land me in physics remedial

it's cos i feel so loved by my Father in heaven

and i just feel so blessed to have wonderful ppl arnd me.

and i haven't done qt. oh no!!! ii'll do after this.

and paul's b'day is in a couple of days!!! XD

oh man i just realised tt i'd accidentally put the key to my diary cardboard in my shorts pocket
and then i put it through the wash!!! imagine if it fell out. >< -shudders-

i'd have to break the cardboard down.

haha.

oh no!!!! i've got a disgusting patch of rashes like stuff on my tummy!!! yuck yuck yuck. i'm going to die from some tummy disease. cos my tummy has been hurting like it's been punched.
:(

and jess and paul are sick and dying too!!!! ( thought jess is in denial and believes tt she is fine)

must be conditioning tt did us all in. hahaha

oh no!!! i still owe mr teo 10 rounds of the walking in circles things and 20 jumps on the high mat!!! >< gym tmr has suddenly lost it's appeal.

but today was quite cool. after sch, i went with jess, josiah and susanna to subway to study and after a while, jess and I got bored of studying and then we realised tt all 4 of us brought our bibles to sch!!! hahaha, so we had a round of bible study and then since we're all in the same cell, we discussed the 'hw' tt hoho and big mel set for us. cell bonding is fun! we shld meet up like tt more often. oh our cell name is R.I.P!!!! hahah how cool is tt?? why, u ask? coz we're Raffles and IP cell!!!! XD XD XD

our teacher's are mostly nice. esp mr jeremy! he lets us eat in class. how nice. XD

it's been raining and raining and raining!!! Nice chrismassy weather! christmas is coming soon! approximately 361 more days ONLY! XD

my sis got selected for nanyang gym i think. how weird. rival team, though she's in a diff division, it's just plain weird. haha. oh wellz.

been spending my day researching on apologetic, eating all of the yummy chocs paul gave and sleeping like a pig. hahaha. there're a lot of good explainers in church. i realised i don't question a lot of stuff in the bible since i used to be a 2nd generation christian which just means tt i was raised in a christian family but just went to church for the sake of going to church. anw, today lester and esther were explaining some apologetics stuff to jess and I . stuff tt someone else asked and so jess and i went to find out. XD


french tmr! oh no, monsieur Loic robert and his strong accent again. i have to pay so much attention to get half of wat he says la! oh and he looks like mr bean! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA but he's totally opposite, so strict. :(
hai.

sch's been ok, mrs teo is nice to us so tt's good. poor shin has a scary teacher, though nicole and tabby say tt she's nice.

I like my class location!!! not so isolated from the rest of the world. and so many sec 4 classes on the level!!!!! YAY! XD i almost typed sec 3. so not used to being sec 4. how old.
