Online Shopping

I swear(ok maybe i don't, but i just want to affirm) there isn't anything that has been as confusing or troublesome as online shopping.
Converting all the prices into SGD.
UUUUUUUUGHH.

But still its cheap.
Bugis prices with much better quality.

Niu Year

Chinese new year once again.
But why this year i don't feel the atmosphere?

Maybe its good?
Blaring songs all day long.

Midnight movie with cell on 1st day of CNY:


Bride wars was an appreciable movie.
Smurf, haha!
I agree with what des said, "For BFFs that had a tiff, they gotta watch this movie."
But if you're looking for a light-hearted comedy, this isn't that bad either.
Tick factor: 2/5

Overall rating: 3/5 stars.

School's reopening soon.
Hmm i wonder.

Rambling #3

Saw JY in school today.
Like way long since the last time i saw him.
Hopefully everything's alright.
Hope is frail but its hard to kill.

And the first teacher i went to 'bai nian' to was HML.
Haha super funny.
Shan ask for ang pao turned down cos no oranges.
She says she might consider giving lum/me 'cos of the oranges.

Hamin: "Yo HML! Xin Nian Kuai Le!"

HML: "Xin Nian Kuai Le, Xin Nian Kuai Le."

*Looks suddenly from Hamin's dressing to mine*

HML: "Wa ni men de dressing yue lai yue havoc."


And when we tried to converse in chinese during the mini-cell shopping outing, des was perpetual fail today.

Shop, drop, roll.

I was going to post about locking class yesterday but i was too tired and occupied playing digimon that i didn't.
Okayyye.

Khee if you're reading this yes we should go out soon.

Shopperholic this week.
Far east and back again.
Bugis, Hereen, Wisma(HAHA! All just to please a little girl.)

And i forgot to bring my vouchers that WH gave me during Christmas.

New bag wooo.
And so many new stuffs.
Lovely.
Today was fun.

Visitation at CHS, surprising that there were so few teachers that stayed back.
And even more surprised at the fact that there was no crowd of visitors going back to the school.
I think its because there's no halfday throughout singapore today in all schools.
Kind of, well, bull.
Can't we have some breathing space?
Yes the eve is on sunday, but i mean even students deserve a break?
Even working class people have off days STARTING from wed.(Of course only some, not all.)

OH YA. I RIPPED MY SKINNIES!@#%@#
But luckily didn't climb down the sheltered walkway because the steps are like underneath.

Hahaha.


Oh and the taiwan dessert shop in far east.
The texture of the ice so special!
Like white grass lah.
Special stuff.

Rambling #2

Suddenly i am reminded of this event when Shan, Darren, Perry, Shawn and me were on the way to far east and then we had to go to the toilet.
Then we went into Grand Hyatt just for that.

Rambling #1

I just realise that even a rambling on my blog helps to keep it updated.

Breaking on tues was fun.
We were horsing around.
With a sick air baby no one could do.

Shopped at bugis and got the stuff i wanted whoo~
With about $40-$50 left, where can i get a nice vest?

Reminescence

Going out with the 4A people was really great today.
Surprisingly, there wasn't the awkward silence that i expected, PTL.
It was like chatting with old friends.

Can i say thank God for O's?
HAHAHA
Because it was really a main topic today, talking about subs and everything.
YJ's left out cos of IP programme, awww.

Guess there's so much to chat about even when we're all taking our seperate paths.
I guess its good, that we take time to meet the people that we've once crossed paths with.
Building relationships, isn't that great.
When you're all alone, lost and looking for counsel,
you can always fall back to one ship,
and that's friendship.
(Of course i'll always look towards God first though. Hahaha)

Sentosa and sun burns.

A Short Reflection

THANKS! for the million and one sms'es and phone calls.
To all the people that made a difference in my life today, i can't help but have only the deepest gratitude for you.

This also goes out to all the hardworking teachers at CHS.
Though i've never liked to be associated much with the school but still, i still think that the staff deserves a standing ovation for their effort!
Thanks!
Goes out especially to:

Ms Krishnan
Mrs Ling
Mdm Ee
Mr Yong
Mr Tan
Mr Thomas
Mr Fernandez(Fitler)
Mr Heng
Ms Tan
Mr Krishnan
Ms Chua
Ms Wong
Mr Tan
MJ
Mrs Tan

Thanks for everything!


So now when one chapter has passed, here comes the other.
Sure I might not have made it into the JC that i wanted to go.
Maybe was it because i didn't want it that much?
Or maybe my focus was diverged?
Still, i won't blame anyone else for the results i get.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not whining.

But i don't know why, i'm not feeling that happy inside.
Prolly have to pray and ask.
Maybe its cos of English and History.
Or pride.
Hopefully not.
Or is it God trying to show me something?

Still, all in all I want to thank God!
Seriously, i don't think O's would have been possible without God.
Like when i was studying for geog on the day itself and the topics that came out, exactly the same that i studied, you can bet there's divine intervention.
And chinese!
Like woah. A1.
1M, 1M, 1M.
It isn't 1-Merit, its 1-Miracle.

Ah i guess sometimes, when everything doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to, you can always find something to be thankful for.
Screw it if i get 2 for hist and eng, this mountain isn't the teeniest comparable to my God.

Because He is over all.

Results

So the much awaited results finally come out and everyone is probably anxious to know the results.

*Drum roll*

L1R5: 10
L1B4: 8

Everything is raw yeah.
Hmm i think probably AJ or SA now.
Checking the scholarships they offer.

To my fellow peers: When choosing a JC, consider your University opportunities.

Honor

Before i start posting anything, this goes out to all the billions of people who've sms'ed, msn'ed, wrote on my wall, commented on my status changes, and changed their status just to wish me best of luck for results later.
I just wanna say: THANK YOU!

Sorry if the following post is going to sound more medicore than my normal writing standard.
I've been out of touch with writing for a long, long time.

Service today was fantastic and Pst. John Bevere is a really really really really really AMAZING preacher!

Not forgetting that he's humourous as well.
Today's message was really impactful, about honoring others.
Honoring those above you, on the same level as you as well as those beneath you.

And to honor is to respect, no matter in what medium.
Words, action, heart & thought.
Yes in the heart and thought as well.

His message today made me realise some things.

Sometimes when we are placed under authority(be it teachers, bosses, or ministry leaders),
don't we sometimes resent the place we are in?

"How much better it would be if I were in their position instead."

Or sometimes we think that what they do isn't right and we, holding on to our beliefs, choose to go against what they do.
Be it method or attitude that spites us, we have had some form of silent rebellion that only we know of.

Your Parents?

Today, Pst. John said that its not about the nasty boss you have, but its recognising the authority that is given to him.
Since all authority is given by God, honoring your angry, impatient, biased and incompetent overseer is also honoring God.

How many times have we dishonoured God or have we not placed value in God because we have not honored a higher authority?


And about honouring people on the same level - peers.
The last time you got angry at, made a nasty remark, insulted, cheated, lied to someone whom you considered a friend or even at the level of an aquintance, you have dishonoured that person.

Sure you could reason you weren't that half bad.
But when was the last time you had a misguided thought to judge someone else?

Lastly, sometimes this is the hardest to fulfill - Honouring those beneath you.
Those that are under your authority.
Some may ask, how can i have anyone under me?
Your younger siblings, your team members, your juniors, your younger cousins, anyone who is learning from you(I won't say disciple because its not applicable to all)?

Is it just all about giving orders, orders and more orders?
Do this, do that, because i'm above you.

It irks me sometimes when i see maids being treated in such a manner,

Have you ever considered going down to their level to interact with them?
Have you ever wished them even a simple "Happy Birthday"?

Have you honoured these people today?

Shangri-la food is the bomb!
Flavourful mango ice-cream ahaha.
Loved the white clams, look alot like abalone.

Must wake up, must wake up.


Finding a reason to pray everyday.

Results, results, results.

The big day awaits 12 Jan.
I remember talking with Manfred once about why O's is always on thursday.

Me: "O's on 12th or 15th ah? Keep changing date sia."

Lum: "Should be on 15th lah, always come out on thursdays."

Me: "Wa seh, like movie sia."

*Lum now gives me the GL stare plus face*
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire comes, it is a tree of life.

Direction

I think i've probably lost part of it this holidays.
But i must say its been one of the most memorable holidays i've ever had.
And fruitful too.
Not just pure gaming at home.

I just wonder, after all the late night outs and chilling, why do i come back and find myself empty again.
Hmm...
Am i asking for too much?
I don't know, i need a confidante.

A year of consecration, a year of consecration.
If you can't be faithful in the little things, how can you be faithful in much?

Taking action is then my most major flaw.

When you've seen so much and have been inspired so much, it really takes something new to inspire you all over again.
Just one thing, just one.

Who can i turn to?

Monday, January 5, 2009

So many things have passed!
After the one week chalet marathon i think i can finally take a break.

G2S4/5 Thanksgiving was a success, letting me breathe again. -whew-

What's left with Jan?
I wonder.
Job job job.
I need the dough.
