:: attachment ::

this is my first week of attachment!! quite exciting... my bosses v good, but starting already quite stressful.. cuz first day i got project to do already. at least tt's wad i like to do, cracking my head n using my brains to come up with gd designs. another thing v stressful is tt my boss sit directly behind me... no divider... wad i do on my comp can be seen lor.. =x haha.. dun realli have the liberty to chat n play game..

went out with audrey on mon after work.. long time no c her.. we had dinner at cine foodcourt. the jap food bento v cheap wor! $3.90 nia~! walked to heeren to shop around... v long time no go there.. bought a top.. wanted to buy another one but not enuf money, muz restrict myself.

been going out for dinner with the singles' club de members haha.. feel quite bad cuz i spend little time at home.. no chance to sit down n chat with my parents.. yday v happy cuz on our way to orchard ian saw weiting at yck mrt station.. i pa jiao cannot recognise pple de.. =x asked her to join us till she go to meet miaoyue liyin n limin.. had dinner at far east plaza.. dunno y i feel quite worried tt my mom will think i go out with boyfriend then seldom go home early. haha.. went to cine cuz wendy wan to buy the shell tt can contain toys. then we went to heeren cuz cannot find in cine. saw weili n kathy n their friend (from rv also) long time no c weili... still the same girl. i also saw huixiang!!! hoho~ finally got to meet carl. showed hx the top i bought n the top i wanted to buy but didn't. she tried it on n quite like it too..

i feel v happy to meet friends outside.. i feel even happier if they start conversations n initiate to noe my other friends as well.. like tt then everyone around me also friends... happy tree friends... hahahaa... juz joking...

today woke up super early to send nic n ian off to china.. had mac for breakfast then went to sch to work.. a bit dreading work cuz like i say quite stressful esp after i submitted the 1st project already n got the 2nd proj liao... so fast hor! the prob is i feel v tired easily nowadays.. hmm... muz drink some tonic liao.. haha..

a bit brain dead to come up with better designs. my boss has high expectations of me.. he also said i can come into tt company becuz he requested for a good IM student.. make me feel so honoured! i wun feel proud la cuz i noe my standard.. but tt makes me strive hard to prove myself. in a way itz a good thing.

today supposed to have DG but postponed cuz 2 out of 3 members cannot make it.. my hp low batt so i assumed the meeting cancel liao.. so paiseh cuz the one who can make it was kinda waiting for me..

today i heard a song on radio (my office always blast Class 95fm) sounds VERY similar to the song Lost In Your Love by amos hong... haha maybe he adapted tt song..

i v tired now... but muz try to come up with concept for my work. no time to plan for portfolio leh.. unless i... give up going out for dinner with my friends.. work or friends, which one more important? if i choose work, hope u all understand n encourage me.. haha..

:: back from malacca ::

had FYP presentation on thur, not as bad as i expected, so i felt alrite. the presentation was v long sia... like more than 1 hr... went to south canteen to find nic, sheralyn n michael.. while waiting for elaine to go for lunch.. there was a food fest, bought a "shark's fin" soup.. n egg tarts, da pao to FJ eat.. while i eat ban mian also.. =x my pants v tight..

transferred files n deleted my unwanted junk from the FYP comp... until 5pm, went for napfa... i failed it hahaha... did 30 situps in 1 min.. quite slow but i was the fastest among those beside me.. hahaha.. IFAH.. i was confident to do many cuz i think my arm muscles v strong (sadly they look BIG for nothing) did onli 7.. standing broad jump, i heard, is every girls' nightmare.. i passed shuttle run juz by a bit.. haha.. the 2.4km run.. wah.... i realli shld have trained harder.. =x i mean train more often... yr 2 sem 1 tt time i got go run regularly.. sem 2 like no more.. i failed it by around 3 min.. v much sia..

was v stressed on friday... been chionging portfolio for the whole day cuz my IAP company de boss wants to c it.. didn't need to go to sch.. =D i chiong until sat morning, no slp at all... i was v worried cuz i could not send the work to print personally cuz i wld be in malacca during the weekend.. so i had been trying to find pple to help me print... asked hx at first.. but she nv online, so when elaine chat with me on msn i thot of asking her to help me instead. i v pek cek around 2am lor.. keep trying to send/upload to gmail but cannot, network like v slow.. pek cek until i cry sia.. 2 ways to c how desperate i was abt it: i had to apply for a gmail account cuz faj says can attach files more than 10MB, which turned out to be false. i connected my pc to the internet which i wld nv do becuz it catches viruses from the internet super easily.. my ibook was super lag tt nite..

by 5.45am if i'm not wrong i managed to upload all the files finally... went to malacca with a lighter heart.. neck ache tho.. can say tt i enjoy the trip, cuz i explored places i nv been b4.. i was surprised tt the trip was a tour package.. thot its free n easy all the way.. went with my dad's colleagues (canteen aunties and uncles) oh man i tell u the coach was super noisy... i realli dun like the way aunties shout to each other across a few seats lor.. so gross! during the trip i had no discman..forgot to take back from esther =x the aunties sang karaoke.. >.< unbearable!! haha the tour guide quite cute ;) he sang a teochew song v funny one..

he brought us to yong peng which is not the one i expected.. tt yong peng was juz a toilet stop nia... the one i expected had food centre n supermarket selling local food products de... the ride was v long.. stopped outside malacca, ayer keroh, if i'm not wrong, to go to Jusco shopping.. i walked around on my own..hoho.. i grow up liao can be more independent liao.. didn't buy anything... wanted to buy underwear, but there were not up to my expectation.. =x hhaa.. wanted to buy a razor back top but somehow dun realli convince myself tt i like it..

then bus brought us into malacca where we alighted to have our lunch at a restoran peranakan. the design quite nice.. food so-so nia.. after lunch went to Jonker walk.. been there countless times.. felt like i've juz been there not long ago. in fact i last went there 1 yr ago. didn't buy anything... went to check into the hotel Equatorial.. short, EQ hotel. shared a room with a 15 yr old girl tt i dunno.. felt weird.. put down my bag n went to Mahkota shopping centre with my parents.. again i had the chance to walk around on my own.. saw some nice clothes n wondered maybe i shld change my wardrobe. but then again, i do have many clothes, juz without the confidence to wear them.. gosh itz my figure la.. gross.. bought a triumph bra hoho.. i onli bought it after asking my mom for opinion.. it costs around SGD$22.70 hahaa when i come back i go compare price. =p hopefully after buying tt bra it'll boost my confidence to wear spags.

went back to hotel around 6pm to prepare to go out.. the tour guide brought us to jonker walk again to experience the nitelife this time. (i've experienced both b4 anyway haha) mom wanted to eat the chicken rice balls, but in my opinion, there's nothing special abt the ball... after all when it comes to my mouth, its a mashed up mess like when i eat normal chicken rice.. haha.. ate a bit of fish laksa, shrimp dumpling noodle, n seafood noodle (share with my parents) n dimsum... we even walked to the hawker centre near the hotel we used to stay in juz to eat sting ray! v regretful for not ordering hao jian, fried kuay tiao n cheong fun!!! (oops does it sound a lot to u?) we rushed back to our meeting place after eating stingray tt's y no time to eat others.. v happy cuz it was time well spent rushing around juz to eat a famous/favourite food. found tt the whole golden legacy hotel was closed for revonation.. v kua zhang sia..

went back to jonker walk n walked thru the street to get to our meeting point.. along the way my mom n i thot we had time so we ordered hotdog waffle.. man, food is damn cheap in msia!! i realli dun mind eating more! =p went back to hotel.. decided to get a beer while seating at the hotel lounge.. i reminise the time i had with my YEP frenz having drinks at the Gold Orchid Hotel in bangkok! spent not a long time there... watched a bit of soccer.. went back to my room.. my roommate v shy, she went to bathe in her mom's room instead.. i felt guilty for leaving her alone.. felt tt 9+pm was too early to slp.. so watch tv till 11+ haha.. dreamt of someone ;p

next morning woke up 7.40am.. went down for breakfast. not tt superb but there was the egg guy!! cool!! like bangkok! ordered a ham n mushroom omelette hoho.. had a lot of food for breakfast in fact.. fried noodles + some side dishes, porridge, milk n cereal, muffins, erm.. sounds a lot heh! walked around with my parents, explored some historical places tt i've nv been b4.. went back to hotel room n took a good bath.. then checked out. wait, tt's not the end of my trip! the tour guide brought us to a shop to buy local food products.. bought alot =P then we had lunch at a Beijing style restaurant. the table cloth is terrible... got holes n black marks... -.- food was good tho.

took the coach out of malacca... to a well tt pple believe can bring luck then to yong peng (same place) then to a durian farm.. someone from our coach bought a lot of durians for us to share.. =D~~ ate a lot.. on the bus the aunties had karaoke again, but this time the songs r cantonese (makes life more bearable)

during the trip i took a lot of photos.. haha.. ok such a long account sia..

tmr start attachment liao.. yay, new start!

hmm.. quite sad no chance to realli meet new guys. cuz my attachment is in sch.. =( hahaha

:: nothing to say ::

ahhh.... sunday over lunch there was a discussion abt worms in our bodies... i hate the fact that there ARE worms in our body, according to some pple... makes me feel conscious everytime i feel funny inside..

joined my cell grp, well, 4 of them after lunch to chill out.. kelvin drove us to great world city.. walked around zara.. hmm... some clothes are nice, but i will nv buy them... becuz honestly i feel tt money shld not be spent tt way.. if i had $100 i would use probably half to buy my own stuff, give 10% to tithe, n the remaining i would donate to organations like Children International or SPCA.. in zara, the price range is actually v great, u can get something for $9.90, u can also find stuff over $300! but it was a great time looking at the clothes with jieling.. makes me feel ashamed of wad i was wearing.. i've grown out of my clothes already, but haven't got time n money to "change" my wardrobe... i feel bad if i throw my clothes away, i also feel awful if i keep them n yet dun wan to wear them anymore...

took bus to orchard then changed to 174 to terry's house.. first time there... he's got a cat!! cute...but noty, she actually will bite ur hand if u offer her! not bite la, but it sure wasn't friendly to put my hand in her mouth.... watched De-Lovely halfway then stopped.. talked abt psalmist.. watched a few scenes of Undercover Brother too.. wasn't funny.. then kelvin came.. after a while we had dinner at a coffee shop.. sorta wondered if i shld eat or not.. but when i thot of rice i decided to.. gosh i was never such a sucker for rice! took taxi with jieling n kelvin, dropped at yew tee mrt then took train to woodlands. changed to bus..... n I OVERSLEPT on the bus n missed my stop!! i was 7 stops away already when i woke up... i felt quite amazed at myself.. =x it was close to 12, but thank God buses travel fast during tt time. i reached home a little after 12..

when i reached home, i realised tt VINEE WAS GONE!!! i seriously dunno where it went... maybe it got blown away by the thunderstorm.. but it was my fault to wait till today to check if vinee is still downstairs..

fyp realli sucks for me... after i realise tt attachment is coming soon, i look forward to it, n hope i can skip the presentation part sia.. i noe i will kena big trouble already... so.. haiz..

n guess where i'm attached to..? haha.. when i saw the address i realli dunno to laugh or to cry... itz the same as my sch.. ... .... .. my attachment is in sch. sobz.... maybe itz God's blessing in disguise... i say 'disguise' becuz i still cannot tell in wad way it is a blessing. but certainly enuf i wanna thank God tt i got pay even tho i'm working in sch... itz an average pay, but i rem seeing one of my classmates getting a lower pay... hmm... i dun mind working OT if got extra pay =P

today v stress.. but when i hang out with my friends we dun tok abt work.. so i dun feel stress.. but tt is escaping reality la.. i'm juz glad tt i'm able to help my SIT partner solve Director scripting problems.. n i'm glad tt she appreciates =)

went to "train" for napfa with yongcheng n swee yi after sch today.. onli train the 2.4km run la.. n not even train, itz juz warming up lor... i mean i always run one round then rest, one round then rest, realli useless kinda training lor.. i'm so lazy!!

:: jialat jialat jialat ::

argh.. u all noe tt i'm having fyp rite... now is the most stressful period. itz called the "Last Minute". itz a phenomenon if i can overcome it.. if i can pass it... if i can even get an A... it'll be a miracle..

haha.. today went for SM training. SM does not stand for super mouse, or wadever u're thinking... but Spiritual Multipliers. tt means a bible study leader, who is not juz concerned abt making sure God's message gets across thru me, but also concerned abt the growth of my disciples. it was at 10am.. i was struggling... becuz weekends...man, i love weekends. i learn to cherish weekends during my FYP... i'll continue to cherish weekends during attachment.... i'd like to sleep in on a weekend... i'd like to clean up my house on a weekend...

anyway. went to tekka mall after tt... well i've never been in there.... i've onli been to the food court. bah.. called my parents.. cuz i think their fav hangout on saturdays is tekka mall. but turn out they're in plaza singapura... haha.. well.. i haven't been spending time with them these few weeks after my sis went back to phuket.. yday decided to have dinner with them, but my mom lazy to go out.. =( haha.. i saw bryandt waiting at dhoby ghaut mrt station... poor thing, by the time i left he was still there!

the first thing my dad said when he saw me today was, "NI PANG LE..." (translated: u've become fatter) OH MAN!!!! jialat man!

went to sentosa to collect my islander card.. hoho.. then went straight to church.. had a crazy time today.. esp during worship prac haha.. had dinner with terry jon n jieling.. we all changed names liao..

my name is now called....MARIANN.. (sounds a bit filipino)

:: psalmist retreat 05 ::

hmm.. honestly i think the date for the psalmist retreat is not a good time.. july 1st got the nationwide prayer concert at singapore expo... we had to miss it... campus crusade organised a GIG leaders training tt evening also.. had to miss tt too.. then july 2nd n 3rd persis going balai with gail.... i wld like to go along.. but since i've already confirmed my place at the retreat, dun need to consider liao. but.... the retreat was great~! gave me time to think thru some stuff.. been prayed for abt my FYP too.

been slping a lot hahaha itz gd to replenish my slp =P i like playing polar bear... haha..

took a lot of photos but they dun turn out nice... most r blurry..

hmm i still need to pray abt forgiveness towards someone... there's this someone who offends me everytime she opens her mouth..! thank God for esther who prayed for me regarding forgiveness but i dun think she noes who exactly i'm referring to.. but i'm sure God spoke to her to pray abt tt issue! hehe..

thanks liz n yongqiang for praying for me too.. may God bless those who bless me!~ =)
