and i appeared. such accuracy! freq has been tuned to 1post/mth. wahaha.

time FLIES so fast. it really wait for no one. and the fact itself is so scary. the proj is almost over, cept the report which still requires fine-tuning. it wasn't as horrid like what i mention earlier, and thank God for sustaining me. i'd probably be bawling my eyes out/gone frenzy if nt for Him. presentation went rather ok, though there were quite sm hiccups along the way, still at least its over for now.

a couple of things that still baffles me: i don't understand why im busier than before, and 24hours/day is just not sufficient! Ahhhh. its crazy. life in this era is really really throws me into a tizzy: upsetting, exciting, confusing, all happening concurrently. there are so many things undone, and a million things to be done. my room's in a mess, and i hv no time to pack! exam's nxt friday, and i've yet to really start revision! plans for online biz but we don't even have an inkling on hw viable it is..! mei's bday celeb planning, volunteering at NUH, etc et...! Bah.

lookg at the brighter side, sm good things hv been happeng, but perhaps God won't be too happy by the mere mention of it. it isnt exactly gd, but smwhat like a person getting punishmt for all that she'd done. im nt like gloating over it or what, but can't help feeling (at times) that she somewhat deserves it. its like God is like telling me that it doesnt matter hw much hurt/wei3qu1 experienced in the past, because He knows what is going on, and He will do smthg abt it. its like a paradox la. God forgive me if this ain't exactly smthg nice to post abt. that aside, am thankful to be able to serve in the worship min, albeit the fact that it can be really tiring/dead at times. esp as a keyboardist, i'm experiencing different aspects of worship. in the past, i'd have nv dared dream that i could play like now, but God has made it all possible, much more and better than i ever imagine. (:

on the other note, am feelg pretty disilusioned these days. perhaps such is the paradox of life. its like you have to take the good with the bad. it can be so puzzling at times. my existence. the significance. oh wells. i shall leave it as now.

till then,
LOVES.

okay. the hiatus was unplanned for. anyhow, within a short span of 1 month, a million things happened, too fast, too furious for me to even take a whiff of fresh air.

bumming ard have nv felt so gd. it was a nice clean break from work! strangely, i feel like i havent really started resting. i was busier than ever, and each day was crammed with activities. or perhaps 24hrs a day really is insufficient.

and yes, im gg to oriental hawaii! hainan island! gonna visit my roots. hehs. with pops, popo and pops' frens! wheee. it came like a dream. i nv dared believe that we had a chance to go travel tog, ever since we got into the rut residing at bt view. bad choice, but smthg GREAT came out of it, chance of knowing Him. (: and JC i so happen to read yr blog! similar scenario, almost the same as mine. hee. and it is so very heartwarming. im so happie for u dear, such a simple and sweet gesture, yet it brings such joy to you and family. indeed it is nv the things we do, but always the company that matters. i pray that you guys will have so much more of such times to come. and even most imptly that they will all receive Christ! (:

classes resumed after a 1mth break. and its wasnt too great to begin with. thanks to the addition of a new proj mate whom kinda make sm of us feel really small before. my chirpiness just evaporated at the very sight of her. and i can no longer contribute freely/state my opinions for fear of what she has to say. sigh. but no choice, guess i have to hang in there for another 1mth of so. God pls grant me the extra strength needed pls! thank u. results have been awesome thus far, and all glory to God.

have a blessed wk ahead loves.

and today marks the last day at World Kitchen.(like finally) i hope there aint any screw-ups. cos by hook or by crook im getting my butt outta here! i needa break! wheee. the tot of being able to sleep til shiok, and nt 7.30 every morn keeps me gg! i can almost smell it now. 1.5more hrs to my long awaited freeeeedommm!

i desperately wanna get outta town. and bkk is nt makg me very happy with all the uproar and protests. eeks. and hkg is alittle outta budget. well, i hope to wk smtg out cos im only left with 2 wks of holi! boo.

the bestie is at camp. i sure hope she survives and that those stupid ppl will not agitate and frustrate her with their stupidity and retarded antics.

pops might be gg Hainan Island. i want to follow! GRRRR. just pray that it doesnt clashes classes. cos i really really wanna trot the world. real badly. ):

it was an eventful week, lotsa upheavals, lotsa exhilarating moments.

was rejoicing when my ma told me that my aunt had ndp tics, and i could have all 6 of them. cos i tried endless attempts balloting/contesting for the tics but to no avail. so i thank God for being so sweet and so nice for giving me the tics. and cos i couldnt contain the excitemt, i spilled the news to ppl whom i didnt exactly want to share the tics with but in the end i had to. and it was a real dilemna which caused me to be so upset that i wanted to forgo it altogether. then i thot, heck, since i was the one who got the tics first, i shd have the privilege of getting at least 2 tics. so i fought my way through, only to get disappointed at the very last minute ytd when i was told that the tics wasnt cmg my way cos aunt's grandchildren heard abt it and all wanted to go. so there goes my ndp tics.

i was really really upset. its like one moment you are up there in the sky, and no one can reach and upset you, the nxt moment you've fallen and land with a pain which doesnt seem to cease. saddening. life sure is full of unpleasant moments.

and to top it off, am gg thru sm difficult moments with ppl i love. and i have absolutely no idea what to do. for a moment i wish i could sleep and sleep and never wake up, so that i don't need to face the pressing issues which are pounding me for an answer.

last day of wk for A/Cs dpt at WK. feeling funny. bittersweet. its like i wish i didnt have to go, yet im relieved to be leaving. gonna be income-less for quite sm time i can foresee. so its really time to be thrifty, time to stop buying and start saving.

digressing a little, tho i ain't sure if my national day will be spent happy, stil wanna wish us all a happy national day.

i pray God comes and mend all broken relationships and restore the love we have for our loved ones.

you know, I would really love to trot the world. go to places where each day is brimming with activities, bustling with life. rich cultures, towering landscapes, mother nature. it is my dream to travel to all parts of the world! i shall dream big. i shall buy a map and pin down the places where i've been. each time i hear smone gg smwhere, i get so green with envy that it begins to cause a dull ache in my heart. i only wish i could go.

the states. uk. australia. japan. europe. africa. greece. dubai. all sounds so yummy.

sometimes i wonder if that day will ever come. or is it just wishful thinking on my part. smtimes i wanna just take whatever i have in the bank, buy a ticket and just fly off to some exotic country. but yet i know i can't just leave and go. cos of the pops, the friends, school, work. nt to forget fear of being alone, fear of hvg to be independent, fear of mtg new ppl.

sometimes i wish that i could turn back time.

its funny how fast each event untwine itself within the short span of 4 wks.

gt the depressing mod over and done with, and i can only cross my fingers that i need nt do a repeat. and then adjusting myself and ushering into yet another new module, which has been alright so far, thanks to the indiv assignmt and exam. no more nightmares of scary grpmates.

twinkling of an eye, 10 mths at World Kitchen, and its time to say goodbye soon. and i'm feelg happy. cos it means time for break! and coz i feel i so deserve a break/holi for myself.

im beinning to feel a little disgruntled. funny tots are always swimming in my head, leaving no room for logic. however much stuff i try to enter into my brain data, it seems futile. and pure rejection. heart aches at times, but i try to let it go, and let love overcome me.

and if it's time to leave, i will go. if that is what GOD says is best for me.

after what seemed like a hiatus, im back. nt feeling on top of the world, but right at the pit of the valley. project is stressing me out like shit, and once again, i had bad dreams, and this time, the grp members were in it, exactly same scenario as what was happening. which is that no one can be bothered abt the proj and keep wanting to change topic.

i am seriously so so freaking scared. i had never felt like this for a long long time. perhaps God is trying to teach me something. i dont know what it is tho. but i really pray for perserverance and peace to last me this entire saga ends. i feel so alone and afraid, sigh. wonder why such has to happen to me. everyone else seems to be doing good in their new grp, except for me. but guess theres no pt wallowing in self-pity. am gonna try pick myself up. ):

trip to KL was fab, and i had the bestie for company! it was a awesome time of reunion with relatives at the wedding, and the customary traditions were really an eye-opener! *gasps! and i totally enjoyed the shopping with bestie, our strategic plan of combing every single shop. and the meals were really a gastronomical affair. and the cousins let out their rm so that we cld sleep in there, so me and twinnie dominated one room, all by ourselves, except when my 2aunties came crashing in. haha. but still, i had tremendous fun. i want M.O.R.E!!!

nw i seriously need a break. some kind of holiday pls! BKK/HKG/AUST! please.

the bread has gone stale. turned sour, and no longer edible.

and pronto! i am back.

and i had one of the best birthdays ever.

the classmates celeb for me at popeyes on friday after exam. had a mango cake from chocz, sweet girls who rem what i like. (:

then spent a lazy sat with the best friend, roamed around the heartlands. went ikea for lunch then back to IMM for sm stationeries shopping.

received this sms from grace:
Dearest Abia, you've been invited to a 2D1N celebration of Your Highness royal birthday. Pls pack ur bags tonight wif all u think u might need to go from glam to sporty n be ready to be whisked away right aft church tmr. Attendance is compulsory so is spontaneity!

sunday.
service, then afterwards head to bestie's hse with her mama and grandmama. had yummy fish and chips & calamari from the fish market at greenwood. then Grace came and then we drop her at her hse so that she could pack her stuff. after she came down, they blindfolded me with sm headband. and so i couldnt see where we were gg til we reached the destination.

which to my splendid surprise, it was hangout hotel at mt emily! so schweeet! i was only telling the bestie that i would like to stay there, and my dream came true! haha jus that it wasnt a themed room. was like a budget hotel, no frills kinda plc. but it was uber cool. all the walls were like cutely painted. and then the veg out room was like nice too, super cosy! so we unload our things then zipped ard town, went IT fair, the babes gt their hard disk, then we settled for dinna at Popeye's (again) haha. and eug came to join us, then went bk to hotel and take lotsa silly pix and count down to my bday! heehee.

then monday morn we checkout, then eug went bk to wk. we went PS for shopping before yet another surprise! over to swensens for sm free ice cream then to chinatown. *gasps* they brought me for a massage! madness. i was freaking scared can. cos we had to like strip. was damn scary. and i was so reluctant. but guess i didnt have a choice. still, it was really nice of them for all the planning. and all the money spent. i feel so loved, and bad at the same time, cos they spent so much so much on me! then dinner at waraku, suaty eug and eu was there too. was super yumms!

anyhw, i had tremendous fun, and i really thank GOD for each and everyone of them. they made me feel like a princess! heehee. and nt to mention all the sweet tots, presents, gestures, everything! despite occasional hiccups, still, im truly touched by the genuine love. all these sweet memories will always be deeply etched in my mind. (:

<3

fuck lor. cant text or call out now damnit. thanks to the screwed up asshole. real spoiler. i wish u didnt exist.

gonna be away to start mugging for paper on friday.! yay, a break from work! but the thought of having some disgusting stranger in the house makes me one angry woman.

screwed u!

!@!#abc123!*@#$%!?!

GET LOST.

Mundane Monday.

nothing much for me to do at work, so am gonna make use of the time to mug a little. feeling stress, as always! even the hairstylist says that my white hairs are increasing in numbers. boo. i think its all cause of my uptightness. no idea why, but im very easily stress/troubled by minute matters. i wish i can loosen up abit, let things take its course, and not be so worried as to how things will turn out.

hibernated in the comfort of the warm fluffy blankie quite a bit over the weekend .shiok man. at least i feel much more recharged now. went to snip sm hair off on sat, then walk ard singapore town. lonely sunday, cos had to study for paper, so no recreation/nthing. boo. sobs.

have a fab week ahead. XOXO.

Just recalled the email SJ sent me and i thought it was kind of apt. To learn to write my hurts in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away and carve my happiness on stones where no wind can ever erase it.

Much as how i feel others are hurting me, ganging up against me, wronging me, i shall learn to erase all of it, and let love overcome everything else.

Food for thought: Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I'm just very tired. Emotionally. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. Each morning i wake up with a million pins and needles knocking me all on every single part of the body. The reluctance to get out of bed, wishing i could snooze the hp alarm till forever. Every night i get hm i only yearn to hit the sheets. That's all. Too tired to do anything. But im glad all these have come to an end. Time for some rest and revision for the cmg paper, and then I'll have sm proper rest and fun before embarking on a new journey.

side track a little. mr chin just asked adeline which countries she has been to. she said Aust. thats abt it. So he probed further and ask what bout taiwan? No she replied. Msia? Oh yes, to Genting. Thank God he didn't ask me. I would be super embarrassed to even reply him. ):
Everyone around me is gg for holi. Coll Amy is gg Taiwan tmr, BeeLing is gg Australia nxt wk. Eu is gg BKK nxt wk. Sm are gg church camp nxt wk. Some are in Europe. Myself? Msia? Loserish or wat? Sigh. sobs.

don't i deserve a little break for wking hard? not even when i have to juggle work/sch, not even when i did relatively well for classes? im not complaining. i've lost the energy to complain. perhaps life is all abt never getting what you want.

HAHA. im back.

the wkend was super eventful and definitely action packed! smhw i can't believe we actually do so many things within a day.

met at bestie's plc at freaking 9am in the morn. gave her the bday present! and im glad she loveeeee it cos its the bag that we both like from women's secret! wakakka. mayb i can use it too. keke. then drove to funan to grab breakfast before heading to the central fire station at hill street! surprise for bestie, cos this sillypig's ambition was to be a firewoman when she was young. so since she couldnt be one, we thought there was no harm if we were to bring her for a heritage tour. mann, it was bloody fun, and we took like a million peektures.

then aft that ard 11 odd we went great world to do sm shopping! and we gt sm steals.! then off to ikea at alexandra for luncheon, then walked ard ikea til 4ish. after which we sent suat off to clementi. plan was to go to the henderson wave and horti park but the weather wasnt doing us nice so we changed plan to trinity svc. but was raining couldnt get a lot, so we decided to fall asleep off arcadia road. had a short nap and then snack a little. felt like a little getaway to wonderland. aft tt the weather cleared and we went to the hortipark! and we walked for what seems forever til 8 odd, then took a cab bk to whr we park the car. nxt destination for a secret night swim at my old plc. funs! so spontaneous. and there's nobody, so i aint shy. wakaka. quickly shower then off to dinner for curry rice. yums. then over to mei's plc to hangout for a while before heading hm where we just like ZONK OUT.

then early in the morn over to the patissier to collect the passionfruit meringe which was absolutely yummy! thumbs up! but for a hefty hefty price. off to church for svc where we accidentally bump into a barricade, and cause a tiny bump/scratch at the bumper. boo. twin was so upset abt it. i hope she cheers up. aft which a combine bday celeb with the youths aft mtg. then we left for lunch, which we end up getting fish and chips and calamari fr fish market at greenwood. ABSOLIPSMACKINGLICIOUS! i want moreeee! grrrr~ then went to twin's hse to cont with proj. sianess. then twin's dad's bday celeb at trader's hotel. which he ordered like a million dishes. am stuffed to the brim. went bk, cont with proj. stayover again. then went to wk on monday.

bad day in sch on mon. can't help but feel sm are ganging up against me. but GOD was gd and faithful. we did relatively well for the presentation. He said it was very very well done. lotsa effort etc! wheee. am so thankful. at least i can finally heave a sigh of relief.

thanks to the best fren for sticking ard all these while, driving me hm, cheering me up. i can never thank you enough.

loves.

now its time to make a little merry, then time to mug hard and do well! (:

i took leave on fri, hiak hiak. oops but nt yet signed by my boss. nevertheless im happy.



and MDA replied our email regd the proj! wheee. i just hope she get back to us asap so that we can quickly input all the information in. i pray that God will help us with this proj!



there's class tonight. BOOHOHOOOO...but i shall cheerie up cos its gonna be a short wk fer me!



and i just discovered there's a 1mth break fr sch in sept. hopefully can take a short trip. pls God, pretty pls..



i had a fab fab time with the best friend ytd! absolutely loved the company, i swoon. its so nice to have her back, and spending time with her beats anythg else. more to come pls.



ciao.

its tootsday!

And the 1million and 1 thoughts are still swimming vigorously in my head. damned. where did all those endorphins disappear to?

the circumstances failed me yet again, when i was very much hoping for some kind of say, reconcillation, or on-goings.

but then God spoke to me and once again reminded me to let go of what is not eternal, and to live each day like its the last. I wil learn to free my loved ones and start each day as if its the very last day. and by doing so, i will be upset no more with anyone, and i will no longer bear hatred toward those i don't love.

im trying to live by this nw.
>>keeping up with trends/fashions/popular values just doesn't matter as much anymore.

sidetrack.
suddenly gt this flashback of primary school days when i used to hang out with a indian and a filipino and a chinese gal all the time, cos we were all staying at bt timah bk then. with i could relish those times again. i vividly rem gg to play at the swing and pool of goodluckgarden's condominium which was behind her house, munching tidbits all the way. or to the gal's hse to do project,eat pizza etc. or alternatively we'll go to my filipino fren's hse to play with her dolls, and i thoroughly enjoyed the yummy sandwiches! or we'll go play badminton, or play ball in the gym, and did a million retarded things. mann. im so missing those days of carefreeness, bumming ard and having 0 worries!

hvg said that, its also scary hw ppl have changed, all 3 are like wild animals now. haha. well, changes are inevitable ya. therefore, pls dont send your kids to a convent school! or they'll slowly unleash the animal in them and leave you dumbfounded.

I dont want to be a restless wanderer. Products of past, yes, but not prisoners of it.

its monday. 26th may. 1.10pm and i had just finished lunch. and on top of it all, there are some 1million queer thoughts swimming in my head.

the weekend was, well, not too bad. i couldnt quite sum it up, but its just a wild mix of everythg, and it churns out making me a little funny all over.

its funny how hard i try but smtimes circumstances just fail me.i don't know.

yay. friday! my fav day of the week. and double yay! cos the best friend is cmg bk tmr! i'm so glad. just pray tt her gastric flu will disappear so that she won't have a difficult time on the plane. i can wait no longer! wheee.

somehow these few days i've been thinking... i used to like certain things so much (materials wise), they always seemed so desirable, and i guess its because i don't have the ability/money to buy it. yet when you have the money, all these things doesn't seem so desirable anymore. life's such a paradox. nowadays, when i shop, i only get things i really really like, and usually they are cheap too! and nice. heehee. im nt one who spend lotsa money on an item. i don't exactly believe in the "quality" stuff logic. why pay more when u can get more with less? haa. mayb i jus like cheapo stuff la. can't afford to splurge anw.

and there's classes tonight. and im beginning to feel the stress over the fact that we havent got started on our presentation. nt even the slightest inkling on what to do. and that is terrible. cos the presentation is like 1wk later. sigh. gt a feelg im gonna do badly for this module la.sigh. tmr sure is gonna be a hell of a busy wk. but i pray that i learn to depend on God, and nt myself for brilliant ideas. just that really clueless on a headstart. and the lecturer seems to expect alot, like a WOW presentation. sigh. we have our limitations lor.

am afraid of nxt wk. its gonna be super action packed with the proj shit. i can foresee it alreay. boo. ):

til then, hv a gr8 wkend. (:

the weekend whizzz past me, just like that. usually i wil be lamenting and sulking but this time it's different, cos it means that the best friend is coming back soon. wheee.

saturday was spent with lim. met in town, went for lunch, over to PS, then to clarke quay, over to MeidiYa, then walk all the way to Great World, then back to town for dinner. wth. walked till my legs ached. feeling the muscle strain on my left leg. ): but managed to get sm cheap deals of wallets and sm air refresher thingy for maybe say Mag's bday or smthg.

sunday had lunch with the pops at crystal jade. had dimsum which was sadly, nthg fantastic. and me being the fillial daughter, paid for the meal! haha. then went back home to rest.

ytd met the schoolmates to discuss proj. which was nt exactly productive, cos all are clueless as to what to do. damn. am starting to fret alittle, cos exactly 2wks from now is our presentation. AHHHHHHHHHH. just hope we dont flunk it. then went shop ard a little, and i gt my loot! sm very very stripey, bright and retro jacket from ebase, and cos only 12buckeroos! i really luv it! mann. smore so cheappppp! then saw sm shoes which i like, but tot i shd learn to be more frugal and nt just buy anythg i like. and i want to wait til bestie is back, and i want her opinions! then frens went off for dinna, and so i cont with my expedition to accomplish my mission.! independent woman >> thats me, WANG XIAOJIA! wakakaka...

its tuesday! i want saturday to come soon! i jus hope the mates doesnt spoil the wkend by wanting to meet for proj. i really think there's no pt in mtg up. we need to be efficient and effective darling. mtg up is useless if we have nthing prepared on hand.! bleah.

til then, hv a fab wk.

dont make me fume. dont "HEE" and "HAHAA" when i am asking u a damn question! ANSWER IT. but HENG u manage to salvage yrself at the very last moment. am so pissed! what the hell is wrong with you! slap u silly.

on another note, its friday. which makes me one happy girl.but twinnie is not in town.but i shall go shopping by myself after music prac tmr. (: time to be independent woman!

gt classes later. hope it wil be gd.

I am so bored, and feeling so dull. There is just this lull ringing in my entire body.

Classes wasn't that bad last night. Well, at least we had some fun with that kukus specs i gt from Mustafa. ohwells. but attention span was short, could concentrate no longer after the break. and yeah, got irritated by this classmate who is REALLY nothing but a GLUTTON. everytime w/o fail, she will just 'bio' whatever food we have and then jus reach out and take without even asking. i cant stand it. its like so duh! and so, in the recent weeks, whoever bought food will not take her share into account. its like she always take without any giving, and like taking it all for granted. she could have at least shown sm form of appreciation. the worst thing is she wil smtimes jus leave the rubbish behind on the table for us to clear. GRRR. i hope smone will knock sm sense into her soon. behaving like 猪八戒. super TAM JIAK la.

Was feeling kinda low when gg hm last night. its like everyone gt their dad to pick them up/drove own car. i just feel so lonely suddenly. i don't know why. though im grateful that they did offer to give me a lift smwhr. probably cos the best friend is not in town. ): but im ok now. will pick myself up.

i really really really want a trip to sm exotic place can God? pls? say Aust/USA/Europe? smwhere nice? is it too much to ask for? i really really really hope for a break. )':

thankfully. monday is over. and i've managed to chase the blues away. and the fact that nxt monday is a holi contributes to helping me cheer up a little.

thankfully the bestie is staying put at the hotel with internet access, so we can chat our way through the night, and the distance btw us doenst seem so far anymore.

the bestie has departed for PRC in the wee hours of the dawn. and im feeling lonely already. boo. ):

adding on to my agony is the excruciating pain from cramps, and the sucky blues of monday. yucks. i just wanna get it done and over with.

visited aunt at TTSH ytd. and its kinda sad to see her sitting on the bed, nt exactly able to move ard w/o help. sigh. i just for wisdom in doc to be able to diagnose with precision, so that she'll be fine soon. cos shes always so active/agile. i just hope that nothing goes wrong.

on another note, i gt bk result for Strategic PR & Planning, and yes, by GOD's grace, its a D. extremely thankful. and also to bestie who helped me so much for the assignments and presentation! xiexie.

to digress a little, was pissed with mei. she's on worship duty, playing drums, and 3 mins before svc starts, she called and said she forgot to set the alarm, and just woke up. sigh. isnt that a really irresponsible thing to do? smtimes i really wonder what goes inside their head. it is sucha terrible thing to do. i really am utterly disappointed la. hw can sm ppl just shrug things off like that? horrendous. but then again, who am i to judge? but i just cant help but feel like WTH!!! haha.

gt lessons later. double sianness. i need some beauty sleep.

once again we had sakae sushi, and to our horror, prices had rose, yet again! 2.29 for a plate of sushi. the standard color plates. guess we cant patron as much as we like now. prices are rocket high la! how to eat? sure pok gai. maybe we can DIY la huh. i cant wait to make out potato salad inari and the potato mackerel pumpkin croquette! wheee.

brought the bread i bot ytd to work and to my horror, there were ants in the bread cos of the sugar. ugh! but i tried to rid them and cont eating. moral of the story: never keep yr bread inside yr room. bad choice. ):

its friday today and im so darn pricked! in other words excited. but its a mixed feeling. cos i know the best fren is departing for PRC, soon. but i shall await the 24th with anticipation.

my prayers are with you love. may the good Lord keep you strong, grant you journey mercies, and may the r/s btw u and loved ones strengthen each day in His love. Stay bright and chirpy for me come what may. and im looking forward to see you 2 weeks later. HUGS & LOVE.

and when you are back, we shall have a wild time tog, celebrating bdays and doing lotsa fun stuff tog! and i sure hope u will come with me and pops to KL. that wil be awesome! dont u dare turn down my papa's invitation ya! we will bring you go eat the yummiest of bak kut teh, a brimming pot of rich soup brewed for many hours filled with lotsa mushroom, think fat juicy shitake, and delicate, silky enoki. and those crispy beancurd skin they throw into the soup, accompanied by crunchy lip-smaking dough sticks. not to forget the well-missed black hokkien mee, a tragic sin of fat noodles clothed in black sauce adorned by the crackling pork lard that melts oh-so-nicely on the tongue. the chee cheong fun, rice rolls wrapping parcels of shrimps, charsiew, soaked in sweet soy sauce, with a dash of shallots and spring onions. pop one into yr mouth and it will send shivers down yr spine. let us not forget the rojak, dominated by cut fruits - green mangoes, papayas, cucumbers, pineapples. the think black paste of molasses and prawn paste are then mixed to perfecto before adding the fruits, taupok, and crunchy dough sticks. then a dash of crushed peanuts and a generous topping of crunchy crackers will round it up nicely.

ok. i shall stop. cos im salivating non-stop already. wakaka.

blessed weekend huns. XOXO.

Blackout in the office! apparently the power tripped. so there. but thankfully, the lights over at my area is wking. so im living in the light! just that earlier on there was no aircon, but nw its reinstated. wheee. no more sweaty sticky pits! haha.

the bestie acc me to shop for presents for the classmates. so in the end we stock up sm treats fr marks and spencer. if u happen to read this, u had better wait for me before starting on the ROAST BEEF AND ONION chips! else i will stuff yr mouth with smthg nasty! heehee.

then had the much missed carl's jr for dindin, loved the onion rings and zuchinni! then went bk to bestie's hse, then she drove me back, but then we decided to go pack tau huay, so we zipped ard to find the beancurd plc at Rochor. which we literally cruise for like 1 hr altogether on the roads. madness.

jus wanna spend more happy times together.period.

It's MONDAY.

1.12pm. and my monday blues hasnt even the slightest hint that it will vanish. ):

eeks leh. why did God create mondays? its jus the most saddening day of the wk. sobs.!

pass week was extremely eventful. so eventful it was scary. i just pray that God make me a better person. am going to try to do nice to everybody!

sorry my dearest friend, for the incessant tortures from me. spiritually/physically/mentally. when i thought of the things i did in the car that night, i too, was horrified of myself. forgive me.

thankfully, God made things right in the end.

new module awaits me. another 1.5mths of battle before i can take a break. we'll see how it goes ok. (:

may God keep the ones i love beside me. don't take them away from me pls.

i've lost track of time. it passes so fast, and tmr comes 1st of May. like hello, 1/3 of the year had disappeared just like that.

looking back, its all thanksgiving besides thanksgivings. say work, His providence. Wasn't what I had in mind, ain't alot of money, but the ppl are awesome. School, had been relatively well in context of results. and the ability to juggle btw work and sch. tough at times, but He gave me the strength to persevere on. Having said that, life in church is like rolling down the slope. i find it so hard to catch the momentum. still, im trying, with help from above and the one who's always beside me. constant encouragement is all i need. being in the worship ministry, given the ability to serve has been great. but often i take it for granted, and i fume at the slightest reason. smtimes hidden agendas blurred my vision, and it becomes a display of what i have to show. which i must all repent for it. family has been great, despite a almost non-existent r/s with the sibling. pops are awesome, as always, and im truely thankful for that. and especially the providence of my sch fees. cos i know since im the one who wanted to study, i shd go all out and support myself. but the pops are so nice, wking hard to pay my sch fees so that i can study in peace. friends, always an essential part of my life. i must say i've lost some. perhaps i havent been trying hard, i don't know. or probably as we grow up, mentality differs, views change, and i find myself unable to catch up with them in the rat race. and perhaps is the reason why i cont to grasp tightly to the ones i find worthy. thankful for the best friend, who has became a family fren. the constant shower of love, understanding, and even just by being there. i may nt have mention, but my heart is smiling each time i think of what u've done for me, and how our frenship has blossomed these yrs. its truly amazing, the kind of telepathy,psychic powers.

pardon me for the long post. just wanted to let my fingers run free and share the sudden outburst of emotions which i gotta let out. strange, cos i didnt expect to touch on all these.

its Labour Day tmr. have a good rest my loves.

im just gonna unwind and let my hair down. (:

hello. am back. after what seemed like a hiatus? hmmm actually its jus pure busyness with all the mugging for exam. which i must say the paper came as a shock and a disappointment as well. kinda tough the questions. but now that its over, i will pick myself up and nt brood and linger in the sucky mood.

the best fren has been amazing.gestures so sweet. i am so touched. brought ice cream fr daily scoop and surprised me when i was feeling so stressed up and bogged down with exams and was craving for sm comfort. and suddenly the phone call came, and nxt thing i know, DING DONG! she was there, at my doorstep. the very nxt day yet another sweet surprise, yummy muffs fr Choc and Spice, piping hot, all the way fr tanjong pagar. when u have such fab frens, u'd realise that u dont need any other thing!

wilfy's wedding on fri night was great, nice lomantick ambience n music. company was great, tho there were sm nt very pleasant times, but at the end of the day, the rainbow sneak out to embrace us in the wee hours of the dawn. trigger happy moments. (:

lazy sat, had yummy mcgriddles again, then went swimming before the music min mtg. over to JP and gt skirts at a steal! 1.90! madness. hehs. then the best friend came over for a slumberthon.

svc on sunday and the much dreaded mtg. sigh. i dont know what to feel anymore. poof.

sigh. i cant help but get envious of those who always get to jet set. damnit. boss is gg darwin like friday. boo.when will my dream ever ever come true?

this weekend was crazy. really crazy.

have been burning midnight oil toiling thru the proj. met up with the rest on friday. prior to that had retail therapy again! at little india. haha. tank tops going at 50cents per piece! can u believe it? my gosh. and sm nice transparent rubber flats which ive gotten a pair for twinnie as well.

then saturday morn we took the car, went to get macs breakfast- mcgriddles! was absofkinglutely yummilicious can! the maple syrup infused muffins were fab fab FAB! wheee. hungry nw. then went exchange shoes and had lunch at little india! woohoo. mei brought us to Komali Vila and we had fantastic poori and thosai! was humongous! shall post sm pics soon or smthg.

then back to shiqis pad for proj. wanted to buy lana cake but ran out of it. so got a mango strudel. then when at her plc, this bitch was trying to pick up a fight with me and frens jus cos she was the sub-editor but her name was taken out and placed elsewhr. wtf. i was seriously pissed. then after fren talked to her, she woke up her idea. but stil as bitchy in my opinion. then we went back. took a cab back cos super tired, smore we didnt have dinna! madness.

then talked to babe on phone, and realised i left her laptop in the taxi! i wept buckets. literally. for a whole hour i kept crying til there's no tmr. so today i had super puffy and swollen eyes. madness. triple eye-lids . haha. think it actually makes my peepers bigger. and ma said that i shd cry every sat night. SIAO. but anyhw, i was so scared shit outta my ass, cos i was afraid that dot wouldnt want me anymore. that this whole saga wil either make or break our frenship. boo. so i kept crying. then when i was checking online the cab hotline to call, my hands were shaking! then told one of my mates, and she told the other girl, and in the end fren called my and said i left the laptop at her house! AHHHHHHHHHHH. i wanted to shoot and kill myself. sigh. am i forgetful or what. but sure GOD was faithful. He made me learnt many lessons. but after i know it was there i was still crying like siao. suffering from shock la!

then now, stil pia-ing the project. pui. but i really appreciate the best friend for fetching me here and there. despite it being none of her biz. just that we were supp to meet like later but she has to go for dinna with family. but well, family is always more treasured than frens ah. haha. perhaps im post-pmsing. just feeling sad. sigh. supposedly gg out for dinnna. but stomach is like rumbling now. boo.

its monday tmr. and there's work. but imfeeling soooooooo tired. but cant take leave for mon and tues cos the paycheque's issued till 15. sians. i neeeed rest........

and food. byebye.

whoa. it's like friday. time crept up so silently i didnt even realise.

but there's proj mtg tonight. and tomorrow! yikes. and the girls are feeling bitchy, keep having stupid conflicts. really stupid ones.

i gt back my assignments. did pretty well. way above all my mates. im so thankful. and happy. and thankful again. thanks to all those who helped me in a way or another. wouldnt have been possible w/o their help.hehs. so happy, im jumping for joy. so im hoping for a distinction for that module. woohoo.

things aint exactly too smooth at home. its the devil at work. sigh. ireally really hate my brother. he seems to always make all of us upset in a way or another. sians.

exam is in like 2 weeks time. and i havent started studying! bah. and i think its gonna be so tough. she doesnt seem like a v lenient marker. let's just hope that i can get down to mug soon. i really hope to ace well through this entire course man. make my pops happy.

the weekend is here. savour it~! XOXO.

i woke up feeling blue, cos why? its monday.

i really abhor mornings you know. esp when one has to work. SIGH. why can't the weekend be longer? sobs. i wish all good things didn't have to come to an end.

was on the phone with bestie last night, was complaining to her how my fren keep telling everyone that she and her bf break up. like broadcasting to the world. sigh. im so tired abt this whole issue. why is it that every topic has to be abt bf, sex etc etc? just feel like crawling into a hole and hide. probably that's the reason why i haven't initiate any meet-up with my other frens besides church ppl. its all superficiality and pure shallowness. the thought of it is revolting. almost felt like throwing up when i was washing up this morning. all the funny thoughts of being in this rat race is making me sick. everything we see is so so plastic! sobs. i don't like it. sigh. but yet i found myself being trapped in it at times. sigh. smtimes i wish God will just come and take me away altogether. there seems to be no other way out.

nthing substantial ever arise from convo with ppl ard me. its all abt BF, SEX, JOB, MONEY, INCOME, CLOTHES, BLAH. i am so so sick of it! yucks! sobs.

i just want to go back to the very basics.

i am so freaking bored at work. and its basically because i have nothing to do. sigh. smtimes i wish my wk will never stop so that 5.30 will be here before i know it. but i shall spend time to start mugging for my paper already. just flipped thru the past yr papers and its so bloody difficult. this time i think sure die. =X

on another note. i gt my result today for reading media text module. the module which i have so little confidence in, cos of sm screwups during presentation etc. but God, who was ever faithful gave me a distinction for it. got 78mks leh! what a joke right! highest among the 3 results i gt back so far. smtimes i think God is really humorous. so besides thanksgiving, it is still thanksgiving la.

hope i can keep up with the good work. if only i had study much harder since young. ugh. too late for regrets. nvm.

out for lunch with adel at clementi cos she wanted to get sm files fr big bookshop.but sold out. so just had lunch, her treat again. so nice. i feeling paiseh leh. i really did tried to pay but she always forbid me to. sigh. shall get her a big pressie when i say byebye worldkitchen.

its friday. but im nt as exhilarated as before. because...
1) it will come and go so fast, i don't even realise its existence
2) sucky proj mtg which i know will be super unproductive.

B.O.O.

then on thurs, classmate ask me help her buy sausage so i did. and its like she never even attempt to pay me back. sigh. honestly, its nt the money that mattered, but i just dont like this kinda "pai2kuan4" attitude. i think its a really ugly trait. and the other day when i bought water for her too. she just conveniently forgot cos she was on the phone. so now, once bitten, twice shy. i've learnt to play it smart.

but when i thought of all these, i rem smwhere in the bible where it goes like: if someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer yr left cheek to them too. i know im over-reacting/exaggerating. but yeah, at least i was the victim, and i was "cheated", not i cheat you.

its just a few dollars. i know. but this yucky character of yrs just turns me off. and also when u keep rattling abt yr life, abt yr bf, abt hw this guy is after u. honestly, yawns. bugger off. its nt like im jealous. but u are so self-centred. and the topic keeps revolving ard you. EWWWW. gross. am gonna put an end to all these!

colleague is gg to states. how i wish it was me.

i think my greatest dream ever, for now, is to travel. smwhr outta SEA. hopefully say America, Australia, Europe. and i will die happy.

but no worries, i know a dream's a dream, and the reason it remains a dream because a dream is something of an unreal beauty, charm, or excellence.

2 things that I told myself in the past week

1) I will not measure myself according to the standards that the world has set for me.
2) I will not allow anyone to hurt me.

food for thought eh, hmmm.

went for a haircut, looked the same as before. over to Raffles City to check our Shokudo, that marche concept Japanese Food Bazaar. but the queue was seriously crazy. So went to PS, had Ichiban, which ain't too nice. late dinner, had gastric, so even the yummiest of food wouldn't turn me on. HAHA.

Got a lift home, but it wasn't a pleasant end to the night. It's occuring too often. And i don't know what triggered me to react the way i did. sigh. instant guilt. its scary hw my mood changes within split seconds and then spillover effect to ppl whom i love dearly. Besides Sorry, its still SORRY.

classes tonight.what a dread,drag too. am so tired, perhaps i will give it a miss. bleah. I am so not in the mood!

was googling forums/blogs on Shokudo, and it does seem like they serve the loveliest of food there at affordable rates. damned, we shdve gone there ytd.

on another note, its thursday. shudders. scary how time flies.

mug hard June! (:

and one week later, the best friend is coming back! woots~! heehee. then i won't feel so lonely anymore. and then i can rant about anything and everything to her! my partner in crime!

anyhw, met with a nasty encounter on sat. it was definitely gross. yucks. scary too. thankfully had 8other classmates with me.

here the story goes:

We left a teammate's pad aft discuss our proj. so me and 7 other girls went off, all heading towards the MRT. we stopped along the street to grab some drinks before making our way to the MRT. i was walking in the front, and suddenly i heard this CHINESE AH JEK IN HIS FIFTIES on my right making some "noise", kinda ushering us towards his direction, since he was obviously trying to get our attention. and to my much horror/disgust, he was fiddling with his cock. it was hanging out and he was shaking it, wanting us to see!!! SCARY AND GROSS la! then 2 other girls saw it too, but the rest didnt. Little India sure is one hell of a scary place with MAD ppl! we contemplated calling the cops, but we didnt in the end. sigh. procrastination la. then we wanted to head back and all take out our cameras and start snapping pics of his bird. asshole!!!

super suay lor. i dont want anymore of such deals pls!

now twinnie and i sama sama liao. cos she met a flasher before too! LOL.

then on the very same day, i got 2 dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, and 2 skirts, all for the good deal of 53bucks! cheap or what?! hehhehs. and those things i gt were lovely!

but i shall quit being sucha shoppaholic.

on another note, church camp looks uber fun. they screened the slide show with a pic of times square and the image of twinnie and me on the roller coaster appeared at the back of my mind. fond memories it brought me. but sadly, most prob i can't make it cos of the exam on the last day of camp. sigh. saddening la. ): first time in 10yrs leh that i cant go for church camp.boo.

i want to jetset smwhere! wonder why i always feel so jealous upon receiving emails from the elf n pixie. just cant help but get jealous at the fact that they are having a gd time in sweden, and even have a chance to go jerusalem, bethlehem. blah. bleah. ):

the best friend has left for Haikou aka Hainan Island! my hometown too~! hehs.

and i miss her so! )':

back since she's nt around, I've got to be much more independent, cos I am relatively quite independent already, HAHA.

it's friday today, did u realise? don't u think the speed at which time flies is scary? sometimes i wish i had 36 or even 48 hours a day. i wonder how time escapes when we aint noticing.

proj mtg tmr and im so not looking fwd to it. just wanna quickly get it done and over with. hate all the conflicts and politics. eeks. why can't we all just work in harmony? sigh. but 9 girls is too crazy already. ohwells. i just want sunday to come la! so can relax & chill. hoping to play abit with Thaddeus and the other toddlers. perhaps i shall go get smthg nice for Thad! wheeee* at least i have smthg to look fwd to.

ok, gotta get my ass back to work already!

GOD is so good. He made me sooo busy with work such that time passses by so quickly and that i won't miss the best friend so much. (:

Maundy Thurs, Good Friday, Easter Sunday all came and gone. in a whizz! sadness now.

spent lazy fri at novena. once again, we jetset to a new place. and the cool thing was we attempted to walk back from novena to babe's hse. but towards the last leg, i was dead tired and so we took a bus. but we walked for a whopping 1.5hrs at least! what a feat!

lazy sat, wanted to do those chips dipped in choc, but as usual, we didn't succeed! HAHA. what's new? we're jinxed. so in the end we pack the room, and took out all the farnie clothes! and decided those that are going to the flea mart.

bad start to a day, but a good end to the night.

played for svc ytd and as usual, i screwed up once again. sigh. couldn't pass my own test, and so i broke down, yet again. but im fine now, will pick myself up and emerge stronger. am gonna let no one get me down.

had combined cell after, and topic was on sex. which kinda tickled me, hearing all the responses from the young ones. ! haha. so cute.

then we zipped to ridgewood for waffles and ice cream at Haato! new hangout place again.nice. but ice-cream and waffle was no show-stopping.

then zipped to Great World, park the car there, and we took a bus down to Paragon for Soup Spoon. i seriously think we spend too much on food. every meal seems to be so luscious and exp! we gotta start saving for rainy days! boo.

smtimes i get very blurred by the pack of dirty lies and secrets. i wish u would enlighten me.

the weekend was so short-lived! tsk.

i really enjoyed it! i really did!

pluck and summon all my courage, went to find bestie's pops at coffeeshop to hitch a ride home with them. thankfully, geoffrey was there to entertain me! HAHA. God has it all planned out nicely. i just want to try for u babe. and i promise i will work much harder. (: then afterwhich me, twin, and her mama went over to ikea for sm shopping! heehee. Mamasoo got a blender at a cheap deal, she seemed pretty exhilarated.! then we settled for dinna at Anchorpt! yummy pasta. cont shopping at the factory outlets there, got a top for mama! hee. and yeah, she liked it! and got another nice bag which was absolutely gorgeous! both twinnie and i loved it! and we gonna share share SHARE! (: went over to ikea only at 9pm, then walk ard till 11. got shot glasses, thought of making smthg nice for naomians for easter! also got the pretty white flower light! cos was gg at a song, only 7.90! then gt a nice laundry bag stand, gonna use it to store my bags and wrapping papers!


then saturday had music practice, then went brunch with twin and gracie. walked ard. then watched Rule #1 which wasnt too bad la. then had dinna the homed.

sunday was spent in town n city hall, filled with boisterous laughters, n great company! i laughed so much my stomach hurt! wakaka.. then had a spontaneous stayover at babe's plc. supposed to send me home but i decided to stay! lazy to get butt gg home. super farnie laughing matters while washing up too!! hahaaa.my partner in crime!

the above was drafted before lunch.

now after lunch, the feeling is entirely different.

my toothache is back.sobs. its the root canal coming back to haunt me once again. sigh. i really cant bear the thought of those endless sessions at the dentist, each time a painful experience. that is nthg. but the money to be spent is just too much for me to bear. sigh.w hy cant things be easier for me?

sobs.

once again, the weekend is here, right before my eyes. i waited forever for this day to come, but when it does, i'll let it slip past w/o even knowing it.

i wanted to be the editor for the magazine proj.but sm others jus self-volunteered. it's like yr english is so bloody lousy and u still wanna be editor? *rolls eyes. seriously, what is the world coming to? sigh. i know i might portray some kinda arrogant, ignorant, dominating bitch, but honestly all i wanted was for us to get a fantastic score for our proj! sigh. i really hope God wil make things wk. some titles they came up with for the food magazine are unbelievable. super stupid and lame. i mean, cmon, INTAKE as a title for food magazine? u seriously got to be kidding me. let's hope and pray they will like the ideas i have!

or mayb let's pray that God wil change me and make me a more cooperative person, less of myself and more of others. sigh. so confusing la! tsk. i hate it! GRRRR.

i need to catch up on my beauty sleep! have a blessed weekend girls! relish it while u can~!

XOXO, girl with endless unlaundered secrets* winks.

this is what i want. like NOW. grrr.

eeks! its monday. my most dreaded day of the week. hais.

decided to take 185 to wk today. cos it's only 1 stop from home to wkplc! can u believe it? just one stop! but must walk abit to jurong east to take. still, its darn fast but to my dismay, i waited 10+ mins for the bus! so was late! but only ard 10minutes. still, it means i have to go out earlier if i wanna take that bus. boohoo.

ytd we sang to our hearts content at kbox, so as to fulfill dot's wish. HAHA. no more kbox til 6mths later pls!

was feelg very pekchek,pissed n down during cell.s igh. i desperately need to find another cell. or even another church. i know i can blame no one for my spiritual dryness. but im really v tired towards this entire issue. sigh. perhaps its time i move on to better places where i can do greater things for God? hmmm.ugh. i don't know la, grrrr.

friday night at home. was eventful, even in that tiny little space. the brother, the mother. sigh. smtimes i wish she didnt give birth to him. real hateful thing. trust such words to come out fr his mouth. sigh. poor mama. i do hope God sees it and does smthg abt it. i dont like it when she gets hurt like that time n again.

its back to sch tmr. supposedly looking fwd to the module. but the thot of the proj > to produce a 64-page magazine is giving me the heebies jeeebiess already! ))):

i want the weekend!!! ))):

its the weekend today!

yesterday marks the 4th twinniversary! haha. yup. 3years and our psychic powers are brewing up a storm! heehee. had a very nice dinna at pasta cafe, courtesy to bestie. then we zoom zoom zoom to mustafa where she grab some food for stockup. stop having just oats babe.! conspiracy. u are ANOREXIC.

anw, as i was saying, its FRIDAY! friday leh! my fav day of the week can. cos we are so gg to mediacorp's wardrobe sale tmr! and theres breakie at macs, i do hope we can wake up.(haha) its just gonna be lazy and warm saturday out! i sure hope the sun will not fail us tmr. then we can perhaps go kayak with the elijahs! and snap! if m.mil cant make it today, i shall have a nice rest at hm first before heading over to babe's pad. anyhw, we tried us this really cute pjs from cotton on. made us look like we got pink measles! so cuteee~!

blessed wkend.

by afternoon, i learn to let go and let God, knowing that things are beyond my control. i learn not to take things too hard, i learn to forget unhappy things.

it felt funny having my pops over at the office cos they needed ma's help to tailor sm uniforms. haha. nice time showing them ard, introducing them to colleagues. hehs. feels strange at same time, but well, strangeness in a nice way.

was a bad morning la. damnit. gt onto the ever packed 189 with a million ppl in the bus. was standing all the way to the front and when the driver did a swerve, i lost my footing and stepped on smone. i pity that person. can u imagine having yr foot stomped by an elephant? ouch. that hurts.

and it doesnt get any better when i thot of things that made me unhappy. liar. who ain't a liar? smtimes i wish i can let go and see beyond, and let the good ride over the evil. the more i scoop, the more yummy stuff i discovered, but these yummy stuff are so cloying. i wish i hadnt even scoop them up in the first place.

and just when i was thinking abt u, u appeared. period.

its tootsday darling! and i thought it was monday. wakaka. cos i had monday off. which was shiokness, minus sucky fact tt i had to chiong my assignmt. thanks girl for helping me with it, sharing the burden as if its yr proj too. thanks. can nv thank u enough la. for staying up till 5plus in the wee hours with me. am thankful. wkend. zipped ard again in the cute little red button of franc, haha! went to Great World macs and spent hours on that dumb ass assignmt. bleah. afterwhich we saw leap years!! nice. so lomantick i tell u. sigh. but smwhat a dream la, as if such happen in reality. lazy sunday aft svc, hm again to pia the dumb assignmt. lazy monday, i took leave! shiokness man. then went submit assignmt (Like FINALLY) then to btp, had pizza! slurps.then went grocery shopping and damn we keep bumping into ppl we dont exactly wish to bump into. so we made a quick exit. wakaka. and i got some nice colorful bags! with stickers. happy leh. cheap thrills!!! but the going home part was scary. we bumped into smone whom kinda resembles what KASTARI might look like! prior to that when we were walking to the bus-stop, sm lady was like running to btp. and when we turn to look at him, he too, to our horror, turn back, stopped walking and stared at us! and he was clad in dark clothes, with a cap pulled over his eyes. scary. and kinda walking with a slight limp. ahhhhh. we couldnt really identify him, so didnt call the police. but he sure is scary.

sigh. i know im getting over-paranoid. but who can i blame? the fact that a terrorist is roaming the streets and can just appear anywhr with a bomb is driving me bonkers. i sure hope and pray he be caught soon. think i'll have nightmares with his face passing every nw and then. grrrr.

its back to work today, and 1 week of break before school starts again. am gonna make sure i party hard!

notice the updates and all? perhaps ive taken a liking to blogging. or maybe im too bored.

as i was walking up the stairs for lunch, the sunlight was unbelievable awesome. adel said: wah today's sun very strong eh". then suddenly i had this wish of being able to soak up the sun, to be out there, having fun, heading to the beach, heading to the pool. i really do miss those times where we could do such so freely. of cos i need to work and support myself, but boy do i wish for say a week of break! then again, its prolly 1 more mth(max) at world kitchen, and its byebye WK, hello happy days again. which also means tt i need to get a new job. hais. life really is a paradox. smtimes i dont even understand why the necessity for the passing of each day. ):

i had a great time of unwinding ytd. we zipped ard the sub-urbs, went for prata at Fongseng, went for indian rojak at west coast, nostalgic i tell u! miss my sec sch days already. )': then we rounded the trip off with a stop at west coast park. and we had so much fun there. ridding, sliding, climbing. and we actually saw FROGS amidst the sand! madness. 3, THREE FREAKING FROGS. scary leh! they were like camouflage, cant really spot them. was so scared i'd step on them. eeks. and RORO actually said they might be PRINCES in disguise. like wth. say if i kiss them mayb the frog will turn into a prince. that's what u'll get when u have frens reading too much into a fairytale. haha. WAKE UP! anyhw, there's an extra 2 frogs for u to choose from also. so there. we'll take 1 each and leave the remaining one alone.

on another note, i haven't get started for the project. and this time, im really really clueless as to whr to begin. cham already.

revival mtg. do hope i'll get sm sort of encouragement in a way. bye and have a blessed wk ahead.

may friday be here soon, lest i smell it! (:

i scream "modular break!" wheee. its overrr! and i get 2weeks of R&R before another mad frenzy awaits me! but then, i'll be lookg forward cos its the Magazine Writing and Production module! smells like fun, albeit the sucky fact that i probably gotta do tons of writing. still, im gonna go have a wild time. had the test(40%) ytd. thankfully, it was relatively alright, cos i eh, uh, didnt exactly study for it! heehee. and once again i left the earliest. really do hope my classmates don't think im proud/snobbish or anythg.

weekend was goot! i had fun with loved ones. (: and it was so justified for i was thirsting for it like a dog. HAHA. supp to go swimming at delta on fri but we didnt made it in the end. day was turning dark, started drizzling. so we settled for a hearty, healthy, wholesome meal at tiong bahru mkt! Roro finally had her SHARKS MEAT lor mee.

saturday: went for lecture in the morn, and left shortly after to rescue Roro from the clutches of the pixie's sista. who can be equally toxic.! haa. its so obvious that she was so crestfallen when she saw me. oops. haha. and i actually felt good abt me. man, i know i can be a real bitch at times. then aftward mei, dennis n weijian had a spin in twinnie's daddy's new car! a spanking red mazda 2! heehee. so funns. i think i've smwhat fallen in love with that cute little red button.woots. afterwhich we zip ard town with gracie cos she needed to buy sm groceries etc! and it was retail therapy yet again! last week itself i gt 5tops and a dress. scary. i need to STOP spending and start saving for rainy days i know. and then gt eyelash curler from daiso, plus those cute little paper gift bags! and plum mints! then there was sale at chomel, which came as a shock cos we actually stepped in there. haha. it was a off-our-usual shop kinda thing. but they actually had sm really pretty tops and dresses, all going at a song! whee.e a fruitful day with cheap thrills.

svc n cell on sunday. then we caught JUNO, which i found very endearing and heartwarming. discourses were all so witty and entertaining. niceee. (:

and its back to work ): and back to assignment 3, back to revival mtg tmr. period of lent.

the very much sought after/craved for/awaited F-R-Y-D-A-E is finally, i repeat, FINALLY here! i have 0 idea why, but i seriously have been looking forward to this day. probably bcos the week was a tiring one, zapping and draining all energy off me. and perhaps the previous wkend was insanely packed with a million worries. oh wells, im just glad its friday once again. tho its gonna be super short-lived. stil, im glad. and i can at least let my hair down a little, party and rest.

i love shopping. shopping does wonders. its makes me exhilarated. its like all the happy endorphins starts swimming around in a frenzy. shopping is so therapeutic. be it a small piece of sticker, a bday banner, a silly octopus toy, a dress, whatever. i really derive lots of satisfaction by it. sigh. much to contrary, christians aint supp to be caught up with all these materials of the earth. ohwell. i dont know. guess i will try not to be overly obesessed with it. just wanted to emphasize the kind of joy.

that aside, i need some encouragemt for my horrible / almost non-existent spiritual life. i need a little boost and a little prayer. it seems so tough to even find time. everyday's about work and school, and playing a little. smtimes i wonder how i can have the cheek to leaf thru a magazine, or flip the papers yet am always procrastinating and pushing God's word aside. i need to repent, and start doing smthg soon. otherwise, i can forget getting into the kingdom.

random bites
some people try so hard to get things they want but often they dont get it. some without trying, it just comes to them so easily. ): food for thought. sigh.

dear all, it's monday! another brand new beginning wk to challenges, work, school and evermore grace from above.

i haven't been the most faithful to God, havent been doing my quiet time for what seems like eons, and i haven't been praying much. but really, GOD has been ever gracious to me, making me learn to be thankful in all circumstances. His love is really UNCONDITIONAL.esp pertaining to my presentation on saturday. i do not deny it was freaking scary, and had butterflies in my tummy, to the extent that u feel the ache and wanna go bomb, which i did in the end, jus slightly before my presentation. but i so felt the peace from God during the whole 3mins of presentation!! wheee. hee. can u imagine talking in front of some 50ppl? was really horrifying, but i managed to breeze thru it, and even earned a 'interesting' from my lecturer! woohoo. i was pretty sure i was the first one he ever said such, and boy am i grinning fr ear to ear when i heard that. woots* but really am thankful to God for providing such a great fren, dot! that girl gave me all the great ideas, found all her grpmate's previous projs and emailed me so that i didnt have to do much research. and all those wk she sent me were distinctions! thank u so much babe. for staying up with me at macs til about 3am on fri night, for being with me, giving me soooo much support, for initiating to bring yr laptop, thumbdrive, lending it to me, being so involved as tho it was yr presentation, and for helping me so much in the entire proj! i am so ashame when i thot of the times when i snapped at u, and got irritated and pekchek, and cranky with u. i apologise here. but really, u the best babe! XOXO (:

other than that, wkend was pretty awesome. tho super shagged! only caught 3 hrs of sleep on fri nite. went over to ahmei's house for minibbq n steamboat on the hot plate! hee. had fun with eug,mei,suats n twin. was a cosy affair. i like it this way. i think i kinda prefer the "the less the merrier" idea. haaa.fun time of sharing and cooking, and we were all stuffed to the brim, busted! had custard apple too, was absoyummilicious! then gt angbao from mei, sm goodies she brought bk for us fr taiwan and nice shades, tho twin's one was kinda SONG2. still, we had fun! then took the 1130 66 from her pad to twin's plc then i took a cab home cos was so freaking lethargic. boo.

ytd we brought charmaine n mooncher out and i almost want to kill them when they couldnt come to a concensus as to where to have lunch. damnit. i always tell myself nv to bring them out but smhw the heart will soften, and we'll say yes, and regret soon after. wth. life's a contrary bitch la. but really wanted to strangle n kill them! grrr. thanks babe, for being with me and staying on, and taking charge. sorry for blowing my top off at u. ):

went hm early last nite,slept from 7-10, haha! i need it very much. am feelg more refreshed n recharged now. and my mama is bonkers la. gt sm dinner tonight and keep asking if i gt clothes she can wear, and keep disturbing me when im trying to fall asleep! tsk. but im glad we can share clothes!!! haha tho she said she aint sure its a gd thing or not. cos either 1) she put on weight or 2) i lost weight. but cant be the latter so haha not so gd for her!

anw, blessed wk ahead babes (:

ello, happy well-lantern's day! Mei u bee more row man thick, sack sea, bee tea full, loaf lee n at track teeth. heehee.

i had an awesome pre-valentine's/frenship day surp from adifferentdot. hee. went all the way to get a rose from holland v fr me. hw sweet. (: not forgetting the balloon and super cute card! such an apt card, with one of our fav songs "you light up my life" what a nice surprise! hee. and God made it happier by giving me another DISTINCTION for my theories of communication and persuasion module! wheee!

hee and i shall proudly attach a pic of it! am so thankful to God for making all these possible. juggling work with sch hadnt been so smooth n easy but He made it happened. am glad.

back to work on tues, and have been getting angbaos!! hee. tues from adel, wed from angie n beeling, thurs fr cuzzie, and today from sophia n belin. wahahaa. so nice ya. sweet gestures.

and being the sweet me, i gt nice little boxes of chocs and gerberas for the classmates and the bestfren! all in diff hues of pink. i luv gerberas! but i really abhor the auntie's attitude of hurrying me when i had to do the wrapping myself. HELLO u are supp to do it for me, im the customer lor! grrrr.made me so kanchiongfied. bleah.

went IMM during lunch ytd, grabbed all the pressies. was madness. but really, God is like 'scary' at times. He made things which seemed so far, so impossible, POSSIBLE! God really hears our wishes and prayers, no matter how insignificant we feel they are. so there!

anyhw, 29feb marks the last day of work for me at worldkitchen. shd be quite confirmed. hmmm. mixed feelgs. ugh. means i have to get my ass to start scouting for a job. new changes, new faces. damnit, hate that kinda phase. eeks. but for now, im elated its friday. tho i have classes tmr and the sucky 3-min presentatn. just pray that i wont talk at warped speed pls.

im dying for a holi, a short getaway, an escapade, a roadtrip. whatever.

was blogsurfing, happen to bump into this girl's blog which i'd thot was permitting private viewing but apparently some updates are still up. her life seems to be sooo funn! mann. and she is so pretty and she has gorgeous clothes! how green i got. was thinking, looks sure mean everythg eh? it is so easy to get things in yr favour. mann. i always wonder and ask God why i aint born with the perfect set of teeth, the highest of nose bridges, the megawatt smile, the sparkling eyes. but i realise, damn, ive nthg to complain. and who am i to complain?

that aside, CNY has been amazing so far. it has been mtg of same grp of relatives for the past 3 days but i really really had a good time. its really smthg to be thankful for. for keeping us so closely together after all these years. despite rare meet ups. they make the most significant ppl in my life. but of cos am refering to mama's side. daddy's side are just more distant and aloof. i just enjoy the discourses btw my ma, aunt and cousins. always so funny! *warm and fuzzy feel* despite certain times of "dunnowhattodoness" cos my aunt tends to be so enthu abt sharing how good God is in her life that she smtimes dunno when she shd stop. i mean its good that she's so hyper abt it, but smtimes we gotta tone it down a little, and prolly be a lil more sensitive to others ard us? i dunno. i do applaud her for ever being so open, so awed by God's grace in her family. but smtimes she need to brake! hehs.

anw, i learnt not to complain la. cos grass always greener at the other side. and i reckon there will be no end to it. anyhw, i seriously think i've put on weight, and in accordance to wat my relatives said, i've double confirmed it. ugh. i really need to shed some pounds else i'll turn into 200POUNDS BEAUTY SOON! hahahaa...

and once again, time flieeeeeeeesssssss when one is hvg fun. its sat alreayd, how fast. 2 more days and im back to sch, back to wk with nthg to look fwd to,damnit. and theres the mass comma party which im so nt lookg fwd to, so not thrilled. and i tot of giving it a miss. ohwells we'll see how it goes tmr.

i jus play 1 round of mahjong and here i am just back from it and they are laughing at me! ahhh. paiseh can. u all laojiao i only new bird, amateur hor. tsk!! bleah. and i gotta wait til ma finish mahjoning with cousins til ard 3 then dad come pick us.bleah. tired.. i wanna zzzzzzzz.

til then, u babes cont to have lotsa fun during this festive season! rem take gd care of health too! tata~! (:

and 1 week later, here i am, giving a little update, we didnt so much screw the presentatn as we thot we'd did! God is amazing, cos He gave us a surprise, we got a DISTINCTION! wheee. tho others had HD, but im thankful enough!

and i got a DISTINCTION for my 1st module, PR Practice & Writing! woohoo!! first mod and this is my grade, im hairpeeee~! what a great kickstart to sch n 2008! (: cannot be any happier. and after submittg my remaining assignments tonight, im officially a free bird!! break for 2 wks! yay! happieeeeeee..and so i can enjoy my CNY in peace. thumbs up! but its only tues, and work is a bore! but gonna head to chinatown tmr so am lookg fwd!

.loves

took leave ytd to rush proj for presentation. and boo, i screwed it big time. sigh. not all our stuff was postmodern, and i feel we seriously lacked substance. boo. sigh. and all she said was 'interesting'. how sad. perhaps we shdve pay more attention during class. sort of anticipated it already. cos til the 11th hour, even right before our presentation, i couldnt convince myself which part of the ppt was postmodern. and some parts were pretty out of point. arghh. damnit! bleah. was so sad. but at least for indiv assignmt i gt a distinction tho its jus upon a meagre 5mks. but i went home, and had sm yummy food and boy, that washed my blues away! wheee. had few mouthfuls of daddy's beef horfun, ate a hard boiled egg, had a few mouthfuls of tiramisu and truffle choc cake! was yummy!!! choc sure is therapeutic eh. and i was satisfied, and no longer upset. wakakaka~!

and sch's over! and i can have my 3wks break fr sch! whooohoo~! can now look fwd to CNY w/o having any worries. but of cos wil have to complete my remaining assignmts.

sigh. i hate it when im feelg green. cant help it. imagine being in a foreign land with yr loved one for 6mths, living life on the edge. damnit. why's God so unfair? sigh. why do bad things happen to good people, and why do good things happen to bad people? don't i even deserve smthg small? like a little trip across town? sigh.sobs.

twinnieeeeeeeeeee im sooooooooooooooo fkinggggg envious of the pixie and elf. esp aft i read her blog. sigh! hate it. ):

i am so silly. gt my new phone, changed SIM card last time to fiddle with it. then when i change bk SIM card to old phone, i forgot to change the time to 24hour format! damnit! and so i woke up at 7.47, and had to take a cab to work. bleah. luckily nt too exp, 9bucks. but still, i can feel the heartache. the acceleration of my heartbeat was like the taxi fare. madness. ):

there's classes today! dread it. only gonna reveal assignmt today and then submit and present on saturday. how am i gonna cope! sigh. its so freaking scary.

and i miss twinnie! she has been gone like since forever. but actually its jus a week ago. still, i miss her! boo. BUT, SHE'S CMG HOME TOMORROW! wheee. thankfully. supposedly nxt tues, but thankfully God made it possible for her to cm home soon. poor girl. my heart goes out to her.

had a relaxing night ytd, shiok! hadnt been able to watch so much tv with a night. hehs. think i watch from like 7-12, with shower breaks in btw. i really enjoyed American Idol7! super hilarious that i literally LOL. highly entertaining.

met up with sj n eve last sunday night. i appreciate them for being the same after all these years. simply true and genuine. unlike superficial ones. was a gd meet up with lotsa updates la kopi times. and i gt flowers for them! rose for eve and gerbera for sj! wheee. am i sweet or what, kakaka...

anw, conclusion: i am so dreading sch! sobs. BUT consolation is that the best friend will be home real SOON! (: then it'll be off to mustafa, makan, movies, shopping and fellowship times!

last post dated 7jan. this is what school does to me. deprive me of my beauty sleep. cos of the dumb reading logs i have to do everyday. sians. this week has been a super busy one! and there's another week of battle i have to fight. ugh. God gimme strength pls.

module's reading media texts. its quite interesting in a way, get to watch really morbid videos each lesson, the blue velvet, damsels be damned, kylie minogue, desperate housewives etc etc! interesting, but at the same time difficult to understand. all the really technical jargons, semiology, blah blah. sounds greek to me.

sch fees in cmg soon according to fel. like feb. sigh then i wil only have left 1 more cheque. then i dunno what wil happen aft that. but i trust that God will provide. and i really hope He will provide. sigh. pls pray for me gals. thks.

that aside, its amazing how God places frens in our life. so much happened in sch lately. with the new girl in the clique. spark off a series of bitchfits, sm rather sarcastic but i choose not to let it bother me. its like, HELLO, we're all friends right? plus its jus the beginning of sch, what makes u think we gonna like stick forever? wake up pls. anw, the gal is a christian, and i can see how we click better than with the rest. oh wells. i dont know la. whatever it is, im jus gonna commit it all to God. whoever He wants to put in my life. just that am pissed with this new intrusion of sm other girl when doing assignmt. its like she jus appeared of no where cos she gt no grp. apparently she already ask my grp mate and they said yes. nv even ask me. but sigh, i think i shd just be more big hearted and acceptable of others. afterall, if i cant even love others ard me, how can i even love God whom i've nv seen, right?

anw, theres lotsa cheem work to be done, dreading it! worst of all i have a individual presentation to do. sigh. imagine presenting to the whole class of say, 56? madness. im already shaking when presenting as a grp. now alone. i'll probably jus spasms and collapse on the floor. hais. arghhhh. shall nt think abt it since its not here yet.

had my beauty sleep today aft i came home fr classes. 6.30-9.30. feels great! its sunday. blessed sunday girls.

and i will catch YOU on the 18th! wheee~!

the best friend's leaving town for indo once again, while im reduce to a poor state here. but nevertheless, ive learnt we need to let go, cos only by then can we learn to be independent. sm training ground before either gets attach. maybe nt me. wahaha.

i hate to say this over and over again but i really hate monday mornings! pui. and the thought of sch makes it even worse. 2 weeks of hell again, rushing proj n assignmt. i really cannot wait for it to be over. bleah.

but weekend was great. potluck party on sat night for the jan babies as well as elf n pixie's farewell. im jealous cos they get to go sweden for 6mths. and they even get to go to jerusalem! how cool is that man. sigh. why do i nv ever get such gd deals? bleah. and they get to tour ard europe too. its so unfair! pfftt. sigh. grass on the other side is always greener. guess i'll just have to try to complain less. party wasnt as bad as hw i expected it to be. jus that sm guest were abit redundant.gross. still, i had a gd time karaoking! sing til we went hoarse in the throat. wakaka! i promise u we'll go kbox smtime soon k babe! cheeryup!

went for dinna/supper, had dimsum near mustafa, aft which we went to mustafa my all time fav hang out place! gt a maternity dress which is soooo chio! wahha. again yes. im so fat that i can fit into a maternity dress. i love it, albeit it being a hefty 30buckeroo.s hehs. then ytd we got the hooded vest in towel material in shocking pink and sky blue! so v pretty, different and cute! hehs. need to curb my retail therapy, save money and go on a holi!

on the other note, papa is jobless. pls pray that he will find job soon! cos my ma seems rather sad and worried abt it, but all he does at home is watch tv and eat oranges. haaha so v random.

i only look fwd to CNY nw, its the only thing thats egging me on! blessed week ahead! (:

today is Friday. and Friday makes Abia one happy girl! tho its gonna be short-lived. still, im relieved. cos from nxt wk onwards, its gonna be a long stretch of nightmares week! sigh. the best friend will be gg off again. just back for 2 weeks and off she goes again. it is so saddening, really it is. i wish she didn't have to go. no more confidante for the nxt few weeks. the worse thing is she doesn't even know when she will be back. sigh. hate it! sobs.

and sch is startg nxt wk, and theres where the other set of nightmare will begin. getting all tired, frenzy and all. sobs. and theres no one around to share my woes. damnit. sigh. i hate the new year already!

and im so tired with all the happenings in church. i guess its really time to quit stjames and move on to othr churches where i can grow, where true love is manifested. the scenes at sjccc are plain ugly. i don't even know where to begin. its so saddening to see how everyone shirks responsibility and turn the table around. im so very disgusted. sigh. even the ones above who're supp to be gd role models are living a life of the opposite. there is no confidentiality, no respect, nothing. feel like im just hanging on cos of the responsiblities in the worship team. its becmg a duty, a routine. yes, im ashame. but i cant help it. sigh. time to move on.

Happy 2008! This marks the first post ever in 2008. just thot it might be gd to pen down some thoughts here with regards to the past yr.

2007 came, gone, all in a whizzz.

Throughout this year, I've gain some, lose some. Significant changes were inevitable.

Wealth and health have been gd, by God's grace, tho if i could lose some pounds, that will be fab. Though i didnt work much, God has been providing me, am really thankful for that.

Studies and work were ok. Sch started a little shaky, but am glad i managed to get settled down, but i shall not dwell too much in it, cos only a fraction of my time is spent in sch. which is gd, means i get to spend more time with other loves. Work, ohwells, only had a proper job at the last qtr of the yr. and it was really God-given. Seeing that i didnt enjoy myself at Ducktours, He granted me smthg which i had nv asked for.

Best aspects in my life has got to be my family and friends. they make my world. the spontaneous, fun and ever-loving pops have been awesome for these 21 years, and i thank God for even their love for each other. and also always being so berserk, bonkers, eccentric and lame!

For friends, i've gained quite a bit. manage to build better relationships with much more ppl. tho i had some unhappy moments, i've learnt to let go and let God.(i hope) Had tremendous amount of fun with the best friend, not forgetting my churchmates. Tho r/s might turn cold with others, still, im thankful and i hope God will bring us closer in His time.

I guess being 21 ain't too easy. but God has sure open my eyes to see beyond what my human mind can comprehend. and thank God for granting me such a great gf, who has nv failed to be ard me at all times of life. i really wonder what i'll do without her. we've been great companions, going almost everywhere together, and almost all the time. and for being ard me when i went thru super tough times, helpg me call the bank, protectg me fr sunny, sigh. i can nv thank u enough. but i do hope im nt hindering u fr building r/s with others ok.! don't worry i stil love my 138 wahaha. Anyhows, sorry babe, for now u are stuck with me. hehs.

all that aside, spent the first day of new yr with bestie n her family (jus a while). haha then we went shopping! wheeee. i loveeee shopping! gt a mango shirt for bk-up singing, and a top fr cotton on! all super gd deals! wheee. best deal was my bundle pack fr spotlight! they had so many things inside, and was gg for a song at only 6buckeroos! all the arty farty stuff! and i love diaso too! we got some really pretty cards which looks super chinoserie chic! shall take a pic and post it. i love it. too bad dorothy soo wouldn't let me get another one. perhaps i shall go back there secretly! whoohoo. shhhhh. then we caught Lust, Caution. my first R21 show. and it ended at 12:30am! madness. am so thankful for my loving daddy who came to fetch us home! (:

great start to a brand new year, am awaiting and looking forward to all that is to come! May the good God bless all of u sweeties, have a fruitful and fulfilling 2008~!
