=) i dunno... but i guess i'm starting to discover the purpose of the fyp... God's purpose for me.. =)
i'm starting to get v interested in the animals i'm working on... today on my way home i was reading a book on giraffes... three times i laughed while reading..
for my fyp i need to include the place where the animal lives, n in the book it is stated tt giraffes lives in open woodlands. i wonder if the MINDS students will go to Woodlands to find giraffes...? n i was trying to imagine giraffes with high blood pressure... well, they do have it in fact.. then there's the part abt birth.. lemme quote the paragraph... "The birth itself takes between one and two hours. The female does not make matters easy for the calf because she gives birth standing up. The calf's arrival into the world is followed by a 2-metre drop on to hard ground..." poor thing.. i feel so awed by how cute n small the baby giraffe is compared to the adult!
i feel especially amazed with God, for the natural instincts of survival... when browsing (the term used for giraffe eating leaves), the males always take the taller part of the tree while the females can take the slightly lower part.. tt's so tt there wun be competition for food!! wow! v considerate n intelligent of them to think of tt! getting to noe these animals better makes me want to understand more... i wan to watch the way these animals realli behave, rather than juz reading abt them off books...
i'm starting to love giraffes.. becuz they r realli friendly, they look out for one another while feeding/drinking water, even together with other animals! they rank themselves after a test of strength not by violent fighting, but necking.. hmm.. i love the pic of a young giraffe hiding between its mother's legs!!
praise God for providing for these animals n giving them the intelligence to protect themselves n ensure the safety of their next generation...

:: bbq ::
hmm was quite reluctant to go for the bbq.. firstly becuz it was a last minute notice.. i realli dun believe many pple will turn up.. secondly becuz i was scolded by my fyp supervisor juz b4 tt. i thot she wouldn't check on me after tues.. but turns out she knew my every movement. |= * ( |< ! she warned me again abt failing me for fyp. haiz
on the bus to ecp i was rather upset... kept thinking things like 'if onli my project is like jiayi n jinwen's...' 'if onli we're doing the project in blk M' 'if onli i dun have tt guy as my partner' but thing is i shld nv question y things turn out the way they r.. things tt i cannot choose, is up to God. i can't blame God too. so, i realli dunno how, i onli noe how to complain to hx abt my situation.. i guess i can blame myself for lacking in discipline too. i almost teared. then an old man sat beside me.. i felt super scared whenever he puts his hand on his lap.. like anytime his hand can move towards mine.. *argh!!* sorry guys tt i think so weird.. but i realli have phobia of old men. so i wanted to sit beside wendy but tt seat was wet. in the end i sat between michael n david.
tt michael realli dua kang king man... he brought a deflated volleyball n said he nv bring pump for it. he also said he nv bring poker cards. in the end got bring lor.. now i dunno can believe anything he said.
anyway i was the 'Butter-girl' for the bbq.. in charge of applying butter on all the food. well, crab stick tastes superb with lots of butter. haha.. but the smoke kept getting into my eyes until it was super painful. i didn't feel the effect until now... my left eye is red now man. time passed v fast n when i got tired of buttering food it was probably past midnight already. i bent down most of the time.. now backache liao sia.
went to bathe (juz wash hair onli actually) with pearlyn.. she v cute.. lent her my super baggy top to change. came back n went to 7-Eleven with gab to get drinks.. she tried this weird brand of beer.. it tastes bland man. i like carlsberg better. then wendy wanted to buy too so i went with her n shaun. they bought long island tea. i nv tried tt b4 so i asked shaun to let me try. heng i nv buy... if i drink the whole thing i sure get high one..
played dai dee for a while (kept getting the best card but sometimes i nv win) then went to mac with john n david. waste of food man, we realli bought more than needed. v easy to get sian of bbq food.. dunno how we passed time.. but around 5am like tt i think, we started the fire again in our pit to cook food again. tried to cook as much food as we can.. v waste food lor =( imagine those pple in poor countries... haiz.
slept for a while in nic's 4-men tent. when i woke up it was time to go. 9am they return their bikes n we divided the leftovers, c who bring wad home. i volunteered to bring home the watermelon. david helped me carry it.. went home n did quiet time n then slp for a while before going out. v last min (sorry sorry) but i bought the presents for the June babies in my church then. i was already late for my cell grp's sports day.. was reluctant also la.. dun like sports competitions.
reached church then realised i wasn't wearing the right colour. so i dun dare to face them.. hehe.. tried to slp on the couch in the library but difficult la. woke up at 6.30 to get dinner from paccan. i like the way the cse char pple work. like my dad, fast movement. but dunno y i so slow one. i can nv work in tt kinda environment. i'll onli be scolded for getting in the way.
after worship prac esther decided to go back to pasir ris. so she drove me paul jon n dropped shirley at her place. we had supper at old airport road.. =D~~ u noe the last time i went there was like 6 yrs ago when i was in Feetwashers...? haha. ate wanton mee.. standard dropped. maybe itz becuz the boss thinks too highly of himself becuz he's getting media attention. =x haha..
esther dropped me home.. oh i got my present from her, from a lot of pple, i dun realli noe also.. she listed terry n kelvin n tt's all i rem. it's a pair of SEINNHEISER earphones!! cool!!
the next morning.. =X i went back to my room to 'rest' a while after esther called me.. heng my dad woke up. i heard him come out of his room so i woke up.. v reluctant to wake up cuz i didn't have enuf sleep. decided tt my green blouse was too creased so i ironed my clothes. end up a bit late.. oops... gave the present to my parents b4 i left the house.
hehehe today alot of us were in green.. had camp comm meeting at harbourfront foodcourt. was a noisy place. not a condusive environment for meeting. my sis came back but i couldn't pick her up with my parents. then my dad v funny, smsed me "We r sleeping" - cuz i smsed him tt i'll call him after the meeting la. took mrt home.. took a nap.. when i woke up my eye was v irritated. looks as if an outer layer is going to peel off sia. disgusting. had dinner at punggol. chili crab, black pepper crab, sambal kangkong, cereal prawn.. (=P~~~) the black pepper crab was the best! total cost around $90+. then my parents complain expensive. haha.
supposed to go out n meet a seller of a 128MB SD card.. but postponed, cuz i was unwilling to travel to hougang to find him.
anyways. I'M IN!!! declared shaun la. the Singles' Club.. hmm wanted to type in crap but decided not to.
i wanna go golden mile again with my sis to buy cds. cheap n looks like imitation. =x n i wanna buy thai stuff too. but i wun buy the dress i saw when i went with eileen the last time... not willing to fork out money for clothes =x

:: feeling terrible ::
my eyes have been red for 2 days already.... dunno wad happened... maybe i rubbed too much or watched too much horror movies? i could feel a bit pain in my eyes n i check the mirror n saw my eyes red already..
anyway.. progress in my project is alright.. gotta show 4 animated animals to the lecturer on monday.. now 2 done.. 2 more to go. i have the graphic for 1 of them, the other one not confirmed, still with algernon..
there's a problem with my project grp again.. all the while i thot algernon was angry with me for not doing work.. but last friday he was nice la.. we could actually tok normally kinda thing, abt computer hardware stuff... but seems like he's angry with my other project partner...? his msn nick always seem angry n look down on pple.. this time his nick is something like 'i will take on everything tonite - ....including yours' sounds like he wants to wage a war sia.. thot it was directed towards me until my proj partner told me wad he told her on msn.. so weird... so direct.. v scary sia.. even tho he doesn't seem to be against me but still...? there's conflict within my project grp. God, how can i help resolve it leh?
yday went for prayer meeting in church after sch.. it was great! learnt something on healing.. will post it either on yahoogrp n email or blog soon. thank God for the wonderful meal esther bought for me! some curry bento set from corrochan.. not something i will eat often..
hx got me a 1/2 day job.. quite excited abt the pay.. haha i seem a bit desperate for money huh. today i nv bring money at all..but i brought cup noodles n pokka green tea from home. i've managed to put $50 in my bank, but tt's given to me by my parents ($30 from mom for tj balai, $20 from dad) so tt means i dun have any savings from my allowance. still in need of money to pay off some stuff.. was overdue for my sponsorship fee again, but settled already. i still haven pay for the kelas bahasa fee.. gotta rem to bring the money this week..
lately i've been waking up with cramps in my legs... not enuf exercise? not enuf salt..? haha dunno leh.. but i've been waking up earlier than i used to.. hope can try even earlier.

:: recharged! ::
i'm back from tanjung balai!~
wanna thank God for 5 things.. hehe..
1. for this chance to take time away from my busy life, to go to a quiet place as retreat, to remind myself tt pple need God, n life's not abt myself, my own problems in sch etc.
2. i went there to help Persis teach how to bake cakes. as women, our role in our family is to provide love. to show it, we give our time n effort to do something for our family.
3. wiki seems happy to c me.. (oops! =x) frenky in batam... =( keke
4. i bought 2 more sunsilk shampoo there.. haha i got purple, green, yellow, white, blue, n today juz added a dark blue n light green to the collection! oh, n my mom bought toiletries, n a brown one came along with Dove shower foam!~ =D
5. my mom gave me $30 more cuz she knew i was going to tanjung balai. i was home late on friday, but found the money on my table. she also helped me record the 10pm show on tape becuz i forgot abt it n it was the last episode!
n from the trip i feel v motivated...
1. to drink more tea everyday.. after eating oily n spicy stuff in every meal, man i was abt to fall sick.. but after drinking tea for breakfast this morning, i felt much much much better! thank God for tt too!
2. to use less water everyday.. how they bathe is actually collect water in a pail n use a small container to splash water all over themselves, altho it's v cold, but after a long day i juz felt like having a cold shower!
3. show u guys how tanjung balai is actually like, by making a Flash for it..
4. START writing my testimonial in mandarin to share n encourage the local folks there.. it was realli disappointing (to myself) tt when they asked around if we have testimonies to share when we visited the locals n i could onli keep quiet n think wad has God done in my life tt they can understand? if i share abt the blessings tt i have (for example common things tt singaporeans own: computer, laptop, handphone, camera), it will juz make them feel uncomfortable.
but then i also feel quite frustrated..
1. i receive a lot of msgs, from campus crusade frenz asking me to do things, or checking whether i have done wad i'm supposed to do.
2. i got a lot of mosquito bites.. some quite 'deadly'.. by tt i mean tt there will be scars tt wun go away v quickly..
3. i forgot to water my vinee.. now dried up n dying =(
hmm anyway as i'm typing this my dad came into my room n gave me $20 extra! thank God for extra blessings! haha.. oh during my trip there's this lady from the chinese cong who looks 90% like zoe tay n i think sounds like her too! she asked me if i got bf.. but no la, so she said dun worry, next time my bf sure v good one.. hehe.. blessed by her word of encouragement. persis' bf came to fetch her at harbourfront juz now.. then i'm thinking, hopefully my future bf will also wait for me at harbourfront, to come back from mission trip, if not, go with me!
