just sharing my thoughts, don't wish to offend anyone.
i'm glad i went for prayer meeting yesterday
i cried while praying with mom
i actually felt burdened to stand up and share, but i was afraid tt i would cry while sharing
i've been taking alot of things for granted.
what's it gonna take for me to appreciate?
i dun even need to think so far as to what's going on in the world. looking at s'pore is enough
the boy who commited suicide. ppl can actually laugh abt it, say it's stupid. but was it jus that?
joan who's suffering from tongue cancer.
two active students with their lives taken away from them.
pastor shared abt a burmese girl who came to s'pore to study but after 6 mths she found out she has terminal cancer.
but she's still always smiling and happy.
ppl that visit her go with heavy hearts but leave feeling encouraged.
pastor said he felt ashamed. we, being normal and perfectly healthy are always complaining, and we get upset when we've lost our one dollar coin. everybody laughed when he said that, but there's truth in that.
i fell somewhat sick on thurs.
and i was worried that i wouldn't be able to go to sch on fri
cos i can't miss prac
but i was alright e nex day
God was trying to teach me to appreciate sch. cos for many days now, i've been going to sch with a serious lack of motivation. almost every lesson i'm checking the time to see how much time till e lesson ends.
i'm not trying to blame anyone
but it doesn't help that the ppl i'm in sch with
are all very blessed and fortunate
i'm probably e only one in my class that doesn't have a camera hp, it's such a norm now
i felt smth weird
smth undescribable
when i had my hp in one hand and my mp3 in e other
there were so many prayer requests made yesterday.
ppl struggling to meet everyday's needs.
a foreign member who's so stressed up abt her uni research that she fell ill
and i really felt ashamed.
i complain so much, every single day.
what am i doing with my life?

my com crashed :(
didnt think much abt it initially, jus wanted to get this com up and running with connection.
it was only after a while that i realised...
1)** all my photos are gone. ok not all of them, but my founders day photos! sobs
2) my russell peter videos are gone. my once best remedy to a bad day
3) songs are gone.
AND I REALLY WANTED TO CRY.
ah well
new class went out yday. at the end of it some felt like it was a total failure. i didn't think so/ i jus think it isn't easy to find smtg that everyone will like to do, smtg pretty inevitable.
so after lunch most of them played pool while some of us stayed at the arcade.
i got addicted to puzzle bobble and soo yin had to be my obliged competitor :X
marina square is so ultra big! the last time i went there almost all e shops were abt to close so i didn;t think much of that place. great place to shop.
shaun was so determined to not get his photo taken! tsk
zo lent me the sympathy for lady vengenance vcd. good good show.
met up with 04 ppl again today. haha all of us kept laughing so loudly and the ppl ard us kept looking at us.
watched two local films today at gems- fifteen and cut. really funny short films.
i have such nice looking knees now, with scars on each of em.

i'm really sorry.

film appreciation
so gems was a lot better than i expected, tho i don't want to be too happy about it yet.
it's interesting but the assessment part isn't easy. the % for class participation is quite high and i'm not great at that.
and my lecturer's quite pro, she worked at mediacorp before!
think she's quite cool lar, she told us she got tickets for film festival and she seems very excited about it.
we got to watch a korean movie, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
featuring the Da Chang Jin actress, Lee Young-Ae
she plays a totally different role in this movie.
i think it's a must-watch tho we didn't get to watch the whole thing.
it has that 'lost' style of making viewers confused but makes you want to know what's gonna happen next.
got to spend some time with 04 ppl yesterday. :) :D :>
sigh, i didn't think i was gonna miss them THIS much, then.
what i miss in particular, is chilling with eugene, guoliang, jed sara and yew chun and just laughing about the silliest things.
jed and eugene, with sara and gl behind
watched Wedding Crashers on dvd. vince vaughn is damn funny! it's not the most proper movie but there were some parts that cracked me up so bad that i laughed till i cried. but i stopped laughing so loudly when i realise i was laughing to an empty house :/
i should have written 'I AM A MIX' on my forehead for the first week cause very unfortunately, the name doesn't exactly match the face. one of my lecturers didn't believe me at first. ah well i should have gotten used to it by now
first time i heard little esther speak yesterday. she said hello and bye to everyone that came her way. the parents tried to get esther and rosh to hold hands but rosh a bit shy lar haha

Stars >> Your Ex-Lover is Dead
so school has started.
had a couple of lessons already.
think most of my lecturers are good lecturers so, yay.
argh i'm going to sch 2mrw just for gems and we all suspect that it's gonna be a brief intro that will take less than an hr.
ah well, first weeks aren't meant to be great.
aaron eio(pronounced as YO! YO! YO!, or so he says :p) is in my buddy class! haha what a coincidence
so my class's attempt to bond isn't going very well but i'm glad most of us are making an effort to get to know one another better.
and i realise i dun really like my buddy class(minus aaron)
AH WELL
bumped into chester and thng today!
some people are more likeable than others.
they don't even need to contribute or do anything and people will love and adore them.
haha, too bad for me
live through this and you won't look back.

i know there's stuff going on
with at least four friends
i just have no clue what's going on
and maybe i don't have to know
cause there's a difference between being concerned and a busbody
and i tend to step into the latter ground unconsciously.
all i can do is pray.

avril lavigne >> slipped away
cantata was pretty alright on a whole.
glad to have been part of it.
for all 3 days, the choir director signalled me to smile and open my mouth and sing. bleah :/ i really don't know how to smile and sing at the same time.
jamie has extra hands! and i have an extra head! nah. the kids were jus goofing around behind us.
niceeee
this photo's pretty much priceless
rach with kids
so school starts tomorrow. really not ready for it

the all american rejects >> straitjacket feeling
so i dare say, a trip to the zoo is a must!
we were a bit hmm-ish initially cos we had to walk around sheltering ourselves from the rain. kind of spoiled the mood a bit. (no offence, God)
well. smtg haha happened.
we were in the australian outback corner and i was walking ahead of lj and hb when i saw a kangaroo on the loose boing-ing in my direction.
picture this,
i ran back to where my friends were, terrified.
the little kids on excursion ran towards the kangaroo, shouting 'hey kangaroo!', 'so cute!'..
dang. how embarrassing :/
the kangaroo was actually jus boing-ing from one enclosure to another
white tigers
the closest i could get to and want to get to a baboon
kangarooooos
cantata. one night down, two more to go.
yday was quite alright. actually no, i sang one part wrongly and i really wanted to bury my face or just bang my head against the wall. really hope i don't make such a silly mistake again.
dunno y after cantata yday, reception and all.. i just didnt really feel like talking to anyone. i jus sat at the swing and stoned for more than half an hr.
2 more days to sch. say boooo a hundred times
praying for you, cheng.
♥ we have changed but we're still the same ;
why
why does this always have to happen?
i'm so tired of feeling this way
i've gone through this a billion times
i should know what's right or wrong
by now
♥ we have changed but we're still the same ;
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand
the killers - all these things that i've done
i love this song :D
jed and i went to help mr tan out today. assisting the new students with their passwords and portal stuff. we had no idea there was going to be a 3 hr long break. so we sat at the fc, he read my tuesdays with morrie book, i stared into blank space with music blasting into my ear.
saw mark and gwen in the fc. what a rare coincidence, they're in the same course and class as me as i was in first yr.
i can't believe sch starts next week! >.<
cantata. in three days
who you are
and who you were never meant to be

the bbq went well.
alot of things to thank God for; the weather being the more impt one to me since its been raining the past few days.
of all the gatherings we've had, this one ended really fast and when everyone was leaving, i was thinking to myself..oh gosh, so fast.
taboo was fun. sick but fun. :/
all in all, it was nice meeting up with everyone again.
feel as though the Great One above showed me alot yesterday that got me thinking about stuff.
this photo's a classic.
guys acting cute
us

saw interesting things at town today.
- finally got to see the famous kid(famous yet i dunno his name!) who is only like k2 but plays the drums like a real pro. there was a pretty huge crowd watching him while he busk.
- bball gala at taka. hoops and bballers everywhere. bumped into davin
and there were new local bands performing too. was standing there watching and listening. 's been a while since i got a chance to.
thanks, vic and cheng
to church for choir. can't believe cantata's nex week !
somehow my head wasn't really there today. was singing but jus wasn't there.
after choir, haha the kids were scaring each other at the back of the church building since it was so dark and i er..joined in! and i attempted to scare some of them too. oops
it was funny to hear boo!s then screams then laughter.
it's good that someone told me that i wasn't doing right.
cos to me, humans hardly ever know they're wrong unless someone tells them.
i've made mistakes
crucial ones
that have affected my life
but have i learnt from them?
have i changed for the better?
i really don't know

yesterday was a pretty bad day. the first of its kind since hols started.
first of. gems registration
where do i even begin
it's like throwing meat to a group of crocodiles and letting them fight for it
'fastest fingers first' kind of thing
too slow? too bad
sigh
such an unpleasant thing to have to do.
and i can't believe i have to do it 2 more times nex time
i was already pretty upset with the whole process, then that had to happened. really uncalled for.
then at night - online.
pissed me off and is currently still pissing me off.
it didn't help that i was surviving on so little sleep.
on a lighter note, watched ice age 2
funny man
haha cris kept calling me weird that day
pink's new album-i'm not dead, rocks!
hope 2mrw goes well.
