:: sentosa ::

hmm.. honestly i felt quite shi bai abt PRC this month. i was in charge but didn't do much.. my only excuse? it clashes with my grad show. on sunday itself i was quite confused abt the operation. was not organised, didn't do our own pricelist, didn't have enough change. and people started buying stuff but i didn't noticed what they bought. at least at the end the accounts tally.

there was audition for new Psalmists that sunday and also prac for tue prayer meeting. i guess i was supposed to KNOW that there was prac but i forgot. we mentioned it during our Psalmist TAP awards n meeting. i was v tired. went home to sleep straight after that. parents were not at home. they were at msia fishing. haha clash with my grad show too.

anyway on monday i couldn't sleep till 6+am. only woke up when david called. he already reached harbourfront! haha.. by the time i reached it was around 11+am. took taxi with wendy n michael into sentosa to palawan beach. met the rest of the grp. got yr 2s, yr 3s n us, grads. played beach volleyball. then went into the water. i didn't want to come out. haha.. played monkey.. got a bruise on my left knee when i dived for the ball. i rem knocking into jonathan but he doesn't. oh well~ i can't rem how but i got a bruise on my right foot too.

it was fun holding on to the volleyball n keeping afloat n getting further n further from shore. my feet weren't touching the ground anymore but i was not afraid cuz i got the ball!! haha.. it was fun letting the waves bring me around. i was a bit worried i might get leg cramps, but thank God i didn't. quite reluctant to go.. came up to play frisbee then went to shower. good thing wendy n i went earlier. there was a long queue already. n even longer behind us. there was a heavy downpour while i was waiting for jeananne n tingting.

went to PS n had noodle omelette. the rest went to Swensen's n we kinda met up a while after that but separated soon again. quite weird. parents came back from msia. it's time to check email daily for job offers!

:: fusion ::

hmm.. miss sch. haha

sun saw this bus hanger advertising for NAFA graduation show.. hehehe can expand my namecard collection again~ went to botak to meet sweeyi after she helped me print my portfolio slot. took bus to bras basah.. went to Art Friend cuz she wanted to buy something. it was raining heavily so we were kinda stuck. i suggested going basheer. n OH MAN! i couldn't leave the place! i want to buy graphic book, but some were expensive n has a lot of content n the rest were slightly more affordable but less content. sigh~ my birthday is coming in less than 2 months!!! *hint hint*

walked to NAFA n we were v late. the pple were not even at their booths. v few namecards to collect. sigh~ went to PS to buy instant noodles then went home.

tue went to sch for booth setup.. n also to pass things n get things from pple.

i was disappointed when i saw my panel. too pink liao! at first i didn't mind it. but what swee yi said makes sense. the panel is impt in giving pple a good impression.. so.. i went to reprint on wed.

my dad got leave from thurs to mon... shiok sia~ haha.. but too bad i'm too busy with Fusion to be able to accompany him. but he's confirm going fishing over the weekend!!! that leaves my home open for party! *hint hint*

had breakfast with him at tekka mall then walked over to DPI to meet ian n dianya. my dad wanted to bring me to a pawnshop.. but.. i managed to escape. :S

printed my panel n i think it sucks. but i'm not financially able to make another reprint. this time it's not pink enough. sigh~

went to sch.. nothing much. then went to sweeyi's place to help her with her web. had homecooked food there =D i still rem last time in sec 2 i had homecooked food at yingheng's hse n it was so delicious i had 4 servings!!! HAHAHA..

went to sengkang n had dinner with my dad. on the escalator i thought i heard kenneth's voice so i looked back n there he was with yunting! haha.. dunno y he looked so pai seh.

TMR IS FUSION!!!! i'm excited as well as scared.. haha.. praying hard for everyone, for good health, safety, n good employers!

:: sleep ::

lately my sleeping hours r getting more n more absurd... wed night was 4.30am, last night was 5.30am... i'm getting a headache now.. anyway i still do my quiet time, but only read a chapter of the Bible a day.. last night i found some verses..

For when I am weak, then I am strong. - Paul in his 2nd letter to the Corinthians.

After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. - I would GLADLY take this literally!!

If I love you more, will you love me less? - sounds v cheem...



last nite had dinner at Kovan Heartland Mall Sakae Sushi.. shiok.... but v sian man, my dad v 泼冷水 one sia.. when my mom footed the bill he commented to me, "v cheap hor, not u pay one anyway." i on the spot sian diao. after tt my dad suggested 走走, look at clothes... but in the end he means i 走 on my own. once again, i on the spot sian diao. he doesn't know tt i'm broke. or else he'd nag at me.

just now went to amk to meet swee yi, to bring her to Botak to print work for portfolio.. bought a yummy white cheesy crab puff from Polar~ my lunch...

Botak told us to go upstairs to another print shop #02-13 to print our stuff cuz they have no more art card.. sian.. went upstairs n test printed mine first. i kept saying loudly, "eeeee so ugly!!" the colours turned out BAD. swee yi also test printed hers n she wasn't satisfied as well. so we said goodbye n went back to Botak.. we were almost willing to accept any kind of paper as long as they can print our work, cuz their colour is much more accurate. haha anyway there was someone who asked for swee yi's number wor~! woohoo!!

haha... swee yi 跳进黄河也洗不清了! hahaha... actually it's a 'she', n she took her number on hearing that she does animation work. wahaha.. they nv ask for mine.. wah.. but nvm.. i believe in God's will n timing.

wah u know wad, we did something that made me very happy eh! we walked from Botak to Serangoon Garden (again, for me) n went to Chomp Chomp n had the egg milk beancurd!! on our way we picked up $10 from the ground!!! it was sort of our treat. woohoo~ Thank God for that money cuz i didn't withdraw enough earlier for the prints. then she wanted to bring me to her grandparent's home around the area. we walked one big round for about an hour.. just nice time to go back to Botak to collect our prints. ok la, quite satisfied.. hehe..

went to a corner to trim away the white border.. think we probably took an hour for that? when we came out i was awed by the orange sky. yea i probably caught a headache from the drizzle. i think, sunset at serangoon is the most beautiful.

:: untitled ::

mon

went to look for a print shop in Highland centre, recommended by the animation guys David n Nic etc.. Super A3 only $1.. so cheap, so i went to check out its quality. i didn't like it at first sight, but i was starting to accept that i don't need my prints to be glossy n the colour turn out correct can liao. i walked from there to Serangoon Garden to find my aunt to develop photos... i hope to choose nice ones to put in my photography portfolio.

i called nic, who just woke up, to accompany me for lunch since he lives around the area. can feel tt he's quite sad.. like trying to find something to do. then when i was about to go home, we were waiting for the bus at the bus stop, i suddenly remembered to ask him whether he wan to colour his hair or not.. then not long afterwards we went to NTUC to look for hair dye. haha.. in the end we bought Gatsby gold ash colour n aluminium foil n brush from NTUC. the kinda brush u use for bbq.. wahaha..

went to his hse n he help me dye my hair, streak by streak, until i look like a freak.. ahah lame. but now i realise i shld have bought different colour and use hair dryer to make the colour come out more. then i helped him dye whole head. we finished the whole bottle. we watched Moulmein High while waiting for the colour to sink in. my colour came out.....abit orangy.. his one like no effect sia.. then around 5pm i went home, quite satisfied. haha.. had dinner with my parents but they didn't seem to notice my hair colour leh. -.-


tue

went to sch to take photo of the nyp banner painted by the juniors.. thought of putting it in my portfolio. y? becuz it's my design la. haha.

saw weng heng david wan n vivonne so went to FJ to watch them eat. haha cuz i wasn't hungry. then went up to Blk M with them. saw michael. then eileen came. i went downstairs n saw tt the queue at the sch print shop was not that long. so i printed my stuff n went back.

went to sengkang n got some snacks to eat while waiting for swee yi. went inside metro to check out the cosmetics. nv tried Fasio brand before. so i chatted up with the salesgirl who looks like Effie. haha.. then swee yi came. we went upstairs to look at clothes for fusion. didn't really see alot of clothes that i like, so it was kinda easy to choose. thank God for metro voucher. i bought a Fasio blusher too. wanted to get the foundation but i didn't bring my other atm card. my posb account balance is $6.39. sigh. quite pai seh cuz i was about to pay for the foundation then i realised i didn't bring the card. argh~ the cashier v fierce sia.

walked around.. bought Polar white cheesy crab puff n it was HEAVEN... *droolz at the thought of it..

then i felt sleepy so we went home. supposed to eat dinner but i wanted to slp. i lie on the bed for 10 min or so then i realise i can't fall asleep. so i went to bathe n try to eat the packet of rice my dad bought. struggled with it. i think i took 1 hr ba.

wed

my dad took leave but i already made plans. he kept asking me to go swimming during my period. wrong timing sia. anyway went to Tanjong Pagar to meet swee yi n zhang shu. i finally know how to walk to Amoy Street without going in circles in tj pagar. we went to collect swee yi's name card, then went to the food centre for lunch. had jap food cuz last time i saw the uncle who sat opp of me eat it n it looked nice~ indeed it is. i grabbed a handful of coins from my coin box before i left home for lunch n i realise my hand is not big enough. i didn't bring enough to buy drinks. but i bought tissue paper from an old man instead.

we went to chinatown for dessert. YES~! i finally know how to walk short cut there! all thanks to ann siang hill park. went to the dessert stall my mom brought me last time. had almond paste while both of them had sesame paste. then zhang shu wanted to buy shampoo from people's park complex so i led the way.. haha felt like a tour guide. i like leading the way to places pple want to go but don't know how. hehe.. after that he wanted to collect his air ticket from a travel agency in Apollo centre. while swee yi n i waited, we chatted. i mean, all the while he was present ma. so now can finally talk without him.. =P i felt like walking that day. haha.. we walked all the way to BUGIS!!! shiok ah! just one straight road passing by clarke quay n city hall. haha..

anyway he said something that stunned me. he didn't intend to print his works for fusion. i asked y, can dun print meh? n he said that we've already graduated, we dun need to listen to the school. sounds v simple, but made me think v cheem. singaporeans r just so.... obedient. i heard from somewhere, that if there's no U-turn sign, drivers dun dare to U-turn at that point. we usually wait for pple to tell us what to do. if they dun tell us that we can do this, we usually dun do it. of cuz there r pple who dare to challenge rules la. but i'm talking about the main stream, me included. he's the only china man tt i respect. >.<

anyway~ we parted in bugis. swee yi n i took bus 851 back. tired liaoz.. i dropped at yck to take 86 n then walk back home. it's really a walking day~ when i reached home my mom called to ask me go serangoon garden for dinner. my dad dropped me there before he went for cell grp. my mom paid for the photos i developed.. =D i just saved $30. i wanted to psycho her to go Sushi Tei for dinner, but she just wanted to eat wanton mee at Chomp Chomp. i was reluctant la. in the end the wanton mee sucks. we ordered sting ray too.. n to her it's not nice. aww.. then we ordered egg milk beancurd!!! one with pearls, one with ah balling. shiok ah!! must go to stall 8 one. stall 15 not nice. ok?

:: pad review ::

<-- disclaimer: not for the weak hearted. not for men. for women only. -->

i wun go into detail abt my first time having period. haha.. but it was scary alright. i didn't even know what was going on, just thought i had some disease that made me pee blood. i still rem whose pad i first used, n who helped me with it.. hehehehe :P

ok now, let me give review on pads. my mom like to buy thick thick kinds.. she thinks it can absorb a lot = save money.


i first used whisper heavy. v uncomfortable. when i sit down i can't feel the chair. feel v elevated.

i 2nd used laurier. no wings one.. doesn't stick properly. v cottony. n bunches up easily. easy to get stains.

then i attended this talk for girls in my pri sch. learnt abt other pads selection. they also had samples of whisper ultra thin. that's how i started to despise the ones my mom bought.


whisper ultra thin went thru a lot of repackaging. today it is like this. i use it a lot.


i use sofy night when i bought it from thailand, cheap cheap 26 baht i think. thought it was not bad, but like v wasteful. at night when u lie down it goes straight to the back end of the pad. in the middle there's nothing. but next morning u gotta throw it away already.


recently i received a sample for laurier slimguard. at first i liked it.. but now i find tt it's not good. it's supposed to be 200 more times absorbent, but i think it makes the blood dry too fast n decay fast. whenever i see what came out is always black. haha sounds gross but i believe tt's what happens.

can't really rem what other brands i use.. i probably used kotex samples before. can't really rem how it felt. hahaha.

:: weekend ::

haha yup i was having a hearty chat with eileen on msn on fri night.. she gave me advice wor~~~ haha.. ok i'll post it here. a perfect man is not a person wif perfect tings, but a perfect eye looking at the perfect points

i have high expectations la... but if i dun lower a bit i think i'll just be left on the shelf la. but that doesn't mean i will go for anyone.. haha..

anyway... really wanna apologize to shirley for pang sehing her for movie on sat morning.. i shld have slept earlier.. my sleeping hours recently have been 3am to 11am... i had difficulty waking up for Good Friday service.. woke up at 10am when my mom came in to ask me to go out for breakfast. she asked me if i were going anywhere n i answered "church lor" she said, "too late la.. service started already." i'm like, oh no....

ya i set 4 alarms for sat morning, 1 on my alarm clock, 1 on my 8310, 2 on my VS2..... I STILL SLEPT THRU ALL OF THEM.. but i woke up when i heard my phone ring. haha.. it was 9am already.. too late.. sorry sorry shirley!!

after tt i slept on la.. still tired.. this sleeping habit is really bad. makes me look terrible the whole day. went for cell grp.. bought a cake to celebrate joshua's birthday, but.... he was absent~! hahaha.. we took a video of us singing the birthday song to "joshua". i felt like i talked a lot in cell grp today, like very rare sia.. haha..

we went for dinner at Ivin's at bukit timah.. my cell grp likes to go bukit timah cuz most of them live near n is accessible. but my dad was like thinking, "so troublesome, have to come all the way to fetch u home" my ezlink card negative value liao ma.. hehe~

tt nite slept early, around 11pm cuz sunday gotta wake up especially early. my dad had to come into my room to pull my toes.. (?!) he kept nagging (like an alarm clock tt i tried to snooze) tt i must wake up before my mom so that she wun get grumpy that i occupy the bathroom when she needs it.

the SAJC auditorium is v big sia, but v warm. i think it takes v long to cool up the whole place. but then again, hot air rises eh? i was sitting with the youth on the balcony. the Holy Communion was self service one lor.. i found it v ...weird. haha.. after service there was breakfast. well, easter is a v special event for my church becuz as Chapel of the Resurrection, we started on easter, the day of the resurrection of Christ. so, it's our birthday!

went home slp. <-- u see that v often in the ending of my entries.

:: OGL chalet ::

woohoo~~ just came back from chalet.. fun.. but there were times when i felt bored.. hmm~

tue i was supposed to meet the 06 batch ogls at pasir ris. but i don't really know them, dun even have their numbers. so i kept calling michael, the middleman, but he didn't pick up my call.. wendy n kevin were on their way. so i waited at the bus interchange for 45 min.. then i decided to call eileen to get one of the ogl's number. when i called jonathan, i learnt tt they were still in white sands!!!! argh!

all of us walked to Downtown east together. but the check in time was 3pm, so we went to the arcade to play while we wait. wendy kevin n i went to BK for late lunch. when we finished it was just nice 3pm. quite sian cuz i still don't know 99% of the ogls, so i started by asking their names. around 5pm some of us went downstairs to play soccer. i sustained mosquito bites n a few light bruises. haha..

after tt i went home with wendy for shower n to bring more stuff to do. brought absolut vodka. no point making it sit n collect dust at home. we went back to the chalet, just nice they were walking out for dinner. but they decided to go BK so wendy n i went to eat at the stalls opp cheers. michael, siji n jeananne joined us. after tt we went to cheers to buy 7up. so weird, the Cheers closes at 9.30pm. thought it was 24 hrs.

went back to the room but there was nothing much to do. until dunno wad time we started playing group games like passing the current. the person who pasang will drink a sip of vodka 7up. somewhere in the middle most of us got high n kept getting forfeited. that was fun.... then we finished the bottle of vodka. i ate cup noodles n then decided to sleep. but then i was too full to lie down. so michael suggested going out. in the end, michael, wendy, siji, di n i went out to a 7-Eleven a few bus stops away. had tea at the coffeeshop outside.

it was 6am already. went back n decided to go home. my uncle passed away n is going to be cremated today. so i went home, to go with my parents. but i slept a while n when i woke up they had left home already. -.- so i went to chalet. it was around 3pm. wanted to drink bubble tea so i went to buy. on the way i saw the ogls so i went back to the room with them.

slack a while then went to parkway parade with wendy for her job briefing. her supervisor was late, so we went to walk around. i was hungry so we went to Water-Rise for a bite. expensive sia. brought her to the pet shop to see hamsters. i always bring pple there. haha. then her supervisor reached, so we went back to PP. at first quite sian waiting, cuz it was supposed to take 10-15 min. but it took close to 1 hr instead. so i watched Spiderman 2 on the display tv inside Giant.

her supervisor offered to give us a lift back to the chalet.. yay save on transport fares! when we went back they already started bbq-ing n eating. but i want to catch the 7pm drama, so i went downstairs after the show. there was nothing to eat, food takes long to cook, n there were no more crabsticks.. =( =( =(!!!! so i complained tt i felt bored. after most of them went upstairs i found something to do. i started to prepare dory fillet n sting rays to be buttered n chillied n wrapped in foil, with wendy.

after eating it was around 10+pm. we wanted to play a big group game. but the number guessing game ended after yaohuang did his forfeit - poledance with a lamp. he spilled a few cups of drinks on the floor. then the group started to dissolve. some of us went to play the current game again. this time we used jonathan's absolut citron. nicer. after a while some of them got sian so they went to sleep. the rest of us watched kaiyun n tingting seh.. they were drunk, n kept wanting to go to the balcony, but we were worried so we put it out of bounds. some of us started playing finger guessing game to finish up the vodka. then i started to learn to play mahjong with wendy. i got the hang of it. haha.. not bad.. we played as we watched the sun rise. cool. went to sleep on the sofa after i found a bedsheet to use as blanket. woke up at 9am to pack up n clear the room.

jonathan was collecting money... $6 each for the whole chalet, shiok bo!~ haha.. walked to white sands for breakfast. then went home to sleep.

:: superstar virgo ::

yeap, i went on a cruise on friday, just came back today.

been feeling rather moody lately.. even just before my trip i wasn't exactly v excited. was still using comp on friday itself n working on my flash web.. *stress* (no la.. i don't mean it)

feel irritated by pple. pple who cut my queue, pple who stand right in front of my camera when i'm taking photos, n the person who qiang my jing tou!! those of u who went on cruise before may know that there'll be a photographer taking pictures of everyone with the star cruise mascot. when i took mine, there was an old man right behind me n looking at the camera too!!!! argh!!! but nvm. i look terrible on the photo anyway.

ok let me tell u how i get to go for this cruise to nowhere on Superstar Virgo. it's actually organised by my mom's boss for the staff, but they can bring along their family members. my dad couldn't come because he had to work on sat. my mom's boss is super generous sia. it's free for her staff, on top of that, she gives them $88 each to spend on the cruise!!!

i share room with my mom n her colleague called Emily. checked into the room n went out for dinner. man, i gotta warn u that this entry is full of food. that's wad i've been doing during my whole trip - yup, eating. went to The Pavillion, Chinese restaurant. they serve each table a standard set of dishes - prawns, spinach, "shark's fin", otah + wu xiang n fish. the ship hasn't moved off yet, but the vibration of the engine is quite irritating.

guess wad. after dinner we went up to deck 12, Mediterranean Buffet for more food. there another shark's fin, but this time it's real one!! according to my mom la. n we had braised oyster too... yummy~~ i took a lot of desserts. haha.. including this chocolate mousse.. yummy~! finally saw a cute guy.

after that we (me + my mom + her colleague) went around exploring the facilities. then at 9pm the ship started moving off. i took a lot of photos n videos on the sundeck. i rem the last time i went on a cruise was pri 2... i almost got blown away cuz i was too light then (?!) n the wind was very strong. not so now. i learnt that Emily is also a Christian.

went back to the room n rest. went out for supper at 11.30pm at the Mediterranean Buffet. wasn't hungry, but i still ate. like there's no tomorrow. ha.. then at 12am i suggested we go watch movie at The Lido. there's this Stephen Fung n Gillian Chung movie called 49 days. ghost story. haha.. but nice. in cantonese somemore. after the show went back to sleep. it was 2am already.

at 6.30am i woke up to catch the sunrise. didn't see the sun at all, but saw the sky slowly getting brighter. then i went back to the room to change into sports attire n went to the gym. went on the tread mill first, v happy cuz i v long nv exercise liao.. =P the gym instructor advised me to land on my heels instead of pluntering. guess i learnt something new. yongcheng told us before, to land on our heels when running, also, but i didn't know y. so now i know~

went back to the room to wake up my roommates to go for breakfast. went to the chinese restaurant again (we only go to those free-of-charge places) had dim sum breakfast. shiok ah! there were har gao, porridge, custard buns, black sesame riceball/mua chee n uh can't rem. then went up to Med Buffet for tea n coffee. took some cereal too. went to explore more places like the observatory where we can see the pilot/captain n the consoles. cool~ all the staff are like from all over the world. but i didn't see any singaporean from the list.

watched 2 Become 1 at the Lido at 9.30am. nice show. i like the way Richie Ren looked at Miriam Yeung when they were in a bar in the movie, watching over her with a concerned look. sigh~

went for lunch. (so fast?!) at this restaurant called Bella Vista. i thought we cannot wear shorts n slippers in so i went back to the room to change. had octopus salad (better than the other choice julius caesar salad that has nothing but veggies) n i like it. the soup was Minestrone. i had turkey flute as main course. n Hot love for dessert. this vanilla ice cream with cherry. my mom ordered caramel pudding n i thought there was garlic or onion in it. she didn't think so. *shrugs*

went to watch Zathura in the Picture House. (a smaller theatre) rested a while (n i mean sleep) n then woke up for jacuzzi with emily at around 4+pm. the water was HOT. made reservation for pedicure at 7pm. i wanted to try the pool, but in the end didn't. went back for shower n then went back up to the poolside for bbq dinner. cool~ wanted to take photos of the sunset, but it was time for my pedicure already. went with emily too. they only have 2 spaces available so my mom could not join us. it was my first time. haha.. ticklish n cool. the foot bath was HOT also man. after tt went to casino. haha.. =x settled our bills. my mom sponsored $20 for the pedicure ($40).

then my cam went totally low batt. sigh. didn't bring charger. argh! went to the Med Terrace (outdoors of the Med Buffet) for a chat. learnt from Emily tt she went on missions before too. she advised me to wait till the time is right before i go. currently i can't go anywhere cuz it's not God's timing yet. n when it is, things will fall into place smoothly n just fit nicely. i guess thru this trip, my mom's relationship with her has become stronger cuz they even pray together for the company. anyway the 3 of us go everywhere together. the other colleagues have their own plans with their own families (arcade, casino etc).

went back to the room to rest but i couldn't fall asleep. too full liao. feel quite sad abt eating so much, but my mentality is like if i dun eat i'm wasting good food. hahahah.. then woke up for supper n watched Final Destination 3 at 12am at the Lido. i expected the movie to be scary, wanted to bring my small pillow along to hug but quite pai seh to bring it to supper. it was certainly gory. quite traumatised after the show but i prayed for a good night's rest, without nightmares.

thank God i didn't dream of anything related to the movie. cuz i listened to Jar's of Clay on my discman till i fell asleep. psychoed myself to think of other stuff like the 2 Become 1 movie.

then woke up at 7am.. wanted to wake up at 6am to catch sunrise n maybe go gym. but i was too tired. couldn't open my eyes. reluctantly went to wash up. had breakfast at the Chinese restaurant again. this time there was "siew mai", scallop + oyster porridge, n some other funny stuff. was quite pissed that i had to request soya sauce 3 times. thw waitress sounded v sleepy when she came to the table with the dishes. went to Med Buffet for tea n coffee again. i took scrambled eggs, waffle n chicken sausage.

went back to the room to pack up but i was tired la. fell asleep n almost couldn't wake up. my mom had to pack up for me. haha.. at 10.30am we have to check out. went to the Lido where everyone is gathered to wait for dismissal. so funny. there's this crew who kept singing his fav songs n getting pple to guess the song title for a prize. his voice is good man. all the oldies. haha~ i could have got a prize but too shy la. haha..

finally we were dismissed n i was pissed again whenever pple cut my queue. went thru the customs n i suggested having lunch at Seah Im instead of the food court. wasn't hungry but i still ate. went back home. tired. sleep.

:: changi airport ::

thurs went to sch to help pack cds for Fusion 2006. then went out with my dad cuz he took leave. went to hougang to meet him but he was still at home when i reached. sian. walked around while he went to the bank. need to shop for formal wear soon. not just for Fusion but can be for future use too.

we went to Sembawang Hill Estate food centre to eat chicken feet noodles. nice~ they're moving to tanglin halt at the end of the month. walked around then went back.

then my dad decided to go changi airport. we had soya beancurd for dessert at the staff canteen n then went to check out the budget terminal. at first i thought the new terminal 3 is the budget terminal but it's not. the budget terminal is quite far from T1/T2. has thai directions on the signs. very empty n boring but rather peaceful. the outside looks like australia to me.

now i feel tt changi is quite scary. honestly, with pple carrying guns supposedly to protect us, i feel more scared. like what if i suddenly feel like running in the airport n then i get shot because they thought i was up to something?

then i was tired so we went back to rest. can't really rem what i did already.

:: confused ::

:: yay ::

yay it's 1st of april! tt means my monthly internet quota is renewed! can go online again freely! i checked my usage for March.. $103... =X i'm sure gonna use my own money to pay for tt before my dad sees the bill. i'm gonna pay it n hide it from him.

so tt'll be how i'm spending my allowance.

other than that.. hmm.. last week nothing much.. after my Balai account, i asked my mom whether i can teach English tuition there. she gave me a lecture n ignored me whenever i ask tt question in hope of a change of mind n softening of heart. tt was the reason she smsed my sis the question she posted in her blog. i was upset n disappointed n feel very sian n moody. toyed with the idea with throwing tantrums to make my parents give in.. but at the end of the day, the message is still "Honour your parents." if i wanna do God's work, i shld let it happen God's way.

thur went to church for sectional training. v surprised to see Chris when i arrived.. cuz i didn't bring my notes or did my homework. but end up we didn't need to show anything la. hahaha.. *phew* learned quite a lot thru the session. but also felt very tired n stoned.

oh yah this Sunday got MLC presentation.. i sorta got an idea how it shld look but Shirley came to my place on fri night to confirm it. we worked till 6am.. i seldom work so hard nowadays, so at first cannot take it. it just takes momentum la.

sat i went out after a few hrs of sleep. had breakfast with my mom then went to bugis to meet my IM friends. went to TP diploma show to collect namecards n to see works. swee yi came.. had my late lunch n then went for cell grp. was late n then i realised everyone was at the No Monkey Business workshop. didn't want to attend but i still did. all the business terms just flew past me. but i did learn a few points.

went to setup for worship prac.. ended early cuz the songs are much familiar n easier to prac. had cheesecake made by Jane.. very nice!

went home to clean up the video.

ok back to sunday. i was worried when the video couldn't be loaded on shirley's laptop.. but we were doing sound check + prac for the song That's What We Came Here For.. n i felt very strongly tt i dun need to be worried cuz God will make my effort pay off. in the end the video did work Praise God! n tt's my small testimony.

suddenly i feel very hardworking, feel like going home to work on my website right away. haha.. went for lunch with cell grp at carl's junior.. shared a meal with jac.. felt something wrong with my stomach. quite scared.. anyway we walked around until brandon announced tt he's going home.. n i was delighted to be able to get a lift home.. hehe..

just now went to hougang mall, wanted to have dinner at Pizza Hut, but it closed down already. awwww... went to Magic Wok for halal thai cuisine instead.

wow i expected this entry to be short.. but i guess my weekend was a bit more happening than expected. i got praised a lot today.. haha felt very weird, but all glory to God. Amen.

:: 19/3 ~ 26/3 ::

sun

we had the idea of visiting Chapel of the Holy Spirit... but it wasn't confirmed in the end. i still went early. met john chew n then jerome.. sat with them for a while until my cell grp arrived. had Holy Communion. Robin John came n preached. his accent is really strong, but i managed to catch the message. Christians ought to talk abt Jesus all the time, even during meals, even while travelling. Then people around will hear and want to find out more.

went to a coffeeshop outside church for lunch. then went to orchard with the cell grp in amos' car. went to Pacific Plaza.. i like board shorts.. esp the guys cutting.. hang loose all that. but too ex. esp those branded ones like Roxy n Quiksilver tho they're having sale.

walked to Heeren.. kinda aimlessly. then went home with aijia.

very tired so i took a nap. when i woke up i saw a message.. the number is an indonesian number. so i kept thinking abt it. wondering if it's.........? i replied "who are you?" but i didn't receive anymore msg from that number.


mon

went to tanjong pagar to find my mom for lunch. wanted to go to Amoy Street Food Centre, but i didn't do my homework.. couldn't find the place so we stopped at a coffeeshop on the way. saw Natalie who's having her attachment around the area. saw this design museum near URA, so i decided to go after lunch. turns out it's closed on mondays. sigh~

wanted to look for a namecard printing shop in Amoy Street.. but i really don't know how to get there. just thought i would walk aimlessly n hopefully find the place cuz singapore is really small. my mom kept going "aey? this building is here ah?" so near. haha. finally found the place. n the food centre i wanted to go. haha.

settled my namecard stuff.. it shld be ready in a week's time. decided to go to sch to join in the ogls meeting. but when i reached they ended the meeting already. last time our meetings always drag till evening then we would have dinner together. now so fast finish.. >.<

went to sch for NOTHING. went to look for mr choong but he told me the grades have closed. no point in doing my minor project. now i'm worried i might fail my FYP. sad.. if i fail i dun need to do fusion liao.. very scared.. pray for me!!!

went home to rest.. really very sian. i waited till evening time then i called the indonesian number that appeared in the sms yesterday. it wasn't who i expected.. but then again, he was the only person in indonesia i gave my number to. just that i really didn't expect him to sms me. i feel so weird now!!! things are so complicated!!


wed

decided to go check out a game shop in khatib, n on the way swee yi called to ask me abt the printing shop. just nice she was at yishun so i thought of going to yishun for lunch. the jap food stall in the foodcourt not nice de. the chef also rude. wanna walk past me should make some sound like "excuse me" ma.. he just quietly brush past me very irritating one lor.

i can't resist dim sum. haha.. no matter how full i am, when i c dim sum i will want to eat.

took bus 851 to khatib to see games, but dun have the game i play. went home. praise God.. the weather threatened to rain but didn't at all.


thur

went out with hao.. went to JE to meet him. was 10 min late only lor, not typically late lor. haha.. decided to go k box. hao treated.. hoho~

sang all chinese songs.. (err i tried to sing some canto songs also la) there were only 2 of us so we can afford to pick songs for the sake of watching the mtvs, like Edison Chen's Gu Yi, Guo Pin Chao (i can't rem the title, i was only watching his face), 2moro's Shabu Shabu, Show's Chance Chance, etc. first time i really enjoy ktv-ing.. becuz usually i go i dun get to sing all the songs i picked, at the end when time is up i dun get to sing finish them, but this time we sang finish the songs we picked n left before time was up.

it was 6+pm already. we went downstairs for dinner. wasn't hungry, but i wanted to try the taiwan fried chicken cutlet n beef stew noodles. =P~~~ not bad la.

walked to IMM. my main reason is Daiso. picked 4 items. very satisfied. hehe.. had milk tea at the Hongkong style teahouse just outside. told ya, i can't resist anything HK!

bought stuff for huixiang then went home. it's been so long since a guy sent me home. hahaa.. from jurong east all the way somemore.. really appreciate it. huixiang came to my place to get the stuff n to give me a souvenir from genting.. a g-string >.<


fri

swee yi called to ask me to meet her in the evening, kinda to celebrate the end of her portfolio assessment n to relax. dunno y i was very tired. had dinner with my dad at causeway point, then swee yi arrived. thirsty, so we went to mos burger to get tea n sit down n chat. then we walked around.

after i boarded bus 161 back, i realise i can only take the ride to sengkang n i would have negative credit in my ezlink card. so i walked home from sengkang. exercise also good la. though i was tired, i didn't sleep till around 3am.


sat

woke up at 8.30am when wendy called. hehe.. went to meet her at commonwealth. gotta apologise for being late although i was the one who wanted to meet. my main motive is to go MDIS open house to collect a Trexi n then go to sentosa with the yr 3s n yr 4s. i expected to see some yr 2s. but none of them came. oh yah at the open house i filled in a form n got a goodie bag. inside got L size tshirt, teenage mag with GIANT JAY CHOU CALENDAR *lelong! lelong!* ahaha, a notebook n other stuff. cool.. the guys were still at harbourfront when we left MDIS, waiting for other pple to come, so we went there to look for them. i even had time to eat 2 plain pratas n 1 glass of sugar cane drink.

i really must go sentosa more than 4 times this few months before my membership expires. haha..

went to Palawan beach, settled somewhere near a beach volleyball court n started playing. saw this Star Idol guy whom i initially wish would win, but as michael points out, he has a showoff attitude n a face that deserves to be punched.

anyway~ spent most of the time playing beach volleyball, frisbee, dipping in the water n walking around.

went to shower around 6+pm. then left sentosa. went to harbourfront Pastamania for dinner. it was GOOD~ wengheng got a friend who works there n gave us super big discount sia. 2 meals for $10.50, unbelievable sia! haha.. then the funny part is when david wanted to order another beef lasagna, n it was $9+!! no discount anymore! hoho.. stayed there till closing.


sun

set alarm at 5am but woke up at 5.30am. did some last minute packing then went to harbourfront delifrance to meet persis. there were only the 2 of us in this trip. boarded the ferry n reached there around 9+am. Phei Phei was at the customs to fetch us. we took an oplik straight to church. then we waited for the children to arrive n we started sunday school at 11am. i was wondering y Wiky still haven't come. if he knew we were coming he would have arrived early.

Persis taught word, from Luke 7:11-17. The ayat hafalan is from 2 Korintus 5:17. Bena is good at memorising verses. For arts n craft i taught the children to make a small puppet using ice cream sticks n cloth. i brought lotsa craft stuff tt i bought on impulse to use as decoration. the children were thrilled. haha..

then we gave out lotsa stuff my dad told me to bring. after Sunday school there were a few hours free time until church service starts. the children cooked indomie goreng for me =) n elisa goreng-ed some keropok n added her mom's homemade chili sauce n shared the keropok.

Persis n i went out to look for or mee. it tastes like fried kuey tiao. Betty came to ate with us. we thought we were going to be late for service so we left first. n we found out we still have one more hour. chatted with ah yang. he said he was going pantai later. but he stayed for service. not bad. saw uncle Subas n uncle Alfred n jac's dad n 2 other men from the adults congregation.

Wiky finally arrived. he said he watched tv till late last night so he came late today. haiyo. uncle Alfred preached about the good Shepherd. it was a short message, so uncle Subas continued to preach another message. there was ministry time. prayed for 2 ladies in english.

didn't get to talk to Wiky much, but he could tell that i became darker. so i told him i went tanning yesterday. Aimei still don't know my name, so i asked Wati to remind her. haha.. told her mom that Frenky smsed me n the whole incident. haha..

at the jetty we bought lotsa gorengan for the ferry ride. the uncles wanted to go for kopi before the ferry arrives, but the officers advised us to check in earlier. good that we did, or else we might not sit together in the end.

when we got nearer to harbourfront, i went up to the top deck with persis to take photos. i think i really need to change camera soon.

had dinner with the uncles at the food court then went home.

:: 14/3 ~ 18/3 ::

tue

took a balai style of bath. saves water. went to tj pagar for lunch with my mom.. had ipoh hor fun which didn't taste nice to me. then went home. haha quite boring? wendy asked if i'm going for the camp in sch.. n i realised there's an OGL camp today. so i told her i wld go around 4pm. went online for a while to discuss domain stuff with swee yi then went to sch.

the number of OGLs this yr really disappointing.. kept trying to persuade ting to join, but not successful. but i'm glad to see her n get to chat with her. felt quite bad to pang seh her cuz i wanted to find out what's going on at the games side. left at 6.15pm to take bus to Bukit Timah.

i dropped 2 bus stops earlier than my destination n so i had to walk. felt quite scared cuz it was dark n i wasn't sure whether i'm going the right way or not. i seldom go to bukit timah area de. this time i'm meeting Shirley n John at Serene Centre. had dinner at Black Canyon Coffee (thai cuisine) n discussed the MLC presentation. we chose a song for the presentation n managed to solve the video problem. we left around 9+pm.

i called nic n found out that they r still at bishan.. n i had to pass by bishan on my way home, so i dropped off at bishan n joined them at Cafe Cartel. there were nic, michael, wendy n david. i kinda expected to have ice cream at Serene Centre but didn't, so i requested to eat ice cream there. we ordered this.. er.. 10 scoops of ice cream. then michael added on a carrot cake n a blueberry cheese cake. i think i got home around 12am.


wed

woke up around 10+am.. went online n discovered i had overused my internet quota for the month n i'm using $70 more than i was given. i felt very heartache.. n worried that i will get scolded by my parents for overusing the internet..

went to sch to join the OGL camp.. didn't really help much in the early part cuz i went off for a talk by the director. it was sort of a reunion with the DMD cohort. lent huixiang my ibook. went to help yan qiao with flash then went to withdraw money to return swee yi for buying a domain.. I HAVE MY OWN DOMAIN!!! haha.. but i wun reveal it yet because now it's still a blank page that says under construction n i can't do anything abt it cuz i can't use internet anymore for the rest of the month.. sobz..

by the time i joined back the OGL camp, michael had to go n he asked me to replace him. the ogls were playing this game called Poison River, n i had to sit on a chair to secure its position. everyone else ("seniors") got sun burnt. my title is "senior senior", so by saying "senior" i mean those 1 yr younger than me. i joined them for dinner (uninvitedly) haha.. n then stayed with them till they were dismissed. i even joined the "seniors" for debriefing. they needed help for the station games the next day so i agreed to come lor. haha..

went to mac with wendy n michael to find the rest like nicholas, ian, david, darius n john. they were watching some *ahem* video. they managed to psycho me to take bus 86 home.

that night i dreamt that i was going tanjung balai but i forgot to bring my passport. managed to use my IC to go thru the customs but i lost Persis n Joseph during the delay. i tried to find my way to the ferry but turned out the place was a train station. i didn't know which train to take so i anyhow take one. hmm.. quite a nightmare.


thur

asked my mom to wake me up at 7am.. asked eileen n wendy to join me for breakfast but only eileen could make it. we both reached at 8.45am. haha.. so we tookaway our breakfast. was disappointed in the "seniors" becuz even some of the ogls are earlier than them. talk about discipline man! even i, who should not even be involved in this camp, came earlier than them!

joined eileen to setup a station for the games. we were supposed to hide from the groups to make them search for us in order to play the game. seems like all the groups manage to find us successfully. the last grp searched for us but we didn't realise, so after waiting for a long time we came out of our hiding place n happen to see them just outside. our game is called Power Ring. oh i can't describe the game cuz it will be used for another camp. trade secret. *shh..*

we failed the last grp for cheating n giving us bad attitude. but in the end none of the groups were forfeited.. *aiyeh!* the camp was at last over n mr alex soh came to tok to the ogls. we had buffet lunch n i went off to meet carol to return her the donation card which i didn't pass around. did my module feedback.

went home.


fri

went to church for the Leaders' Retreat Session 1. Vicar preached about the 2 diff kinds of attitudes of Jesus' followers. one is like Mary, who loves Jesus a lot n is willing to spend a year's wage on an expensive perfume to annoint Him to prepare Him for his burial. one is like Judas who has been following Jesus around for 3 years as the treasurer, always stealing money from the treasury, n after rebuking Mary for wasting the money on the perfume, agreed to betray Jesus to the chief priests.

went home to rest. went out in the evening to meet the singles' club.. but i decided to meet my parents for dinner first then meet them. so i went to potong pasir n had my dinner there. wasn't nice but i ate until i was very full. haha..

lucky i ate first cuz it turned out that they were eating KFC at taka lor. was quite upset that though they know i was coming, they didn't prepare a space for me. sigh. after they finished eating we walked around Cineleisure n Heeren. whoa Heeren has undergone several changes n i didn't know! there's this shop that sells guys' underwear n the salesmen there are macho n dressed very casually in beach singlet n board shorts.. woo.. like gays.. i like gays... =P

felt very thirsty n decided to get a drink at the 7-eleven outside taka. managed to find a space to sit n stone n slack. then john n ian left. the rest of us decided to go wendy's place to slack somemore. went to meet nicholas at raffles place mrt n he brought a friend along. we kept making fun of david n convincing each other that he's gay n he's interested in wendy's brother. haha..

very tired. played monopoly with wendy n david while michael was the banker. he was helping wendy sia.. bias!! haha.. she was winning from the beginning n the rest of the game was just to play along..

michael made milo for us in his own way. watched The Time Machine (yeah i can strike off that movie in my wishlist of movies to watch!). quite a short movie. sleep after that. it was 6+am already.


sat

kept waking up cuz i wasn't sleeping properly. was curling up in the one-seater sofa. finally decided to wake up around 9+am. wendy's sis or mom bought nasi lemak for us. i had a whole packet n 2 extra fish. haha.. left around 10+am.

i then remembered that i had a lunch with my JI 03A4 class at taka seoul garden. so i went home for a bath n went out again. at this point i really wished Singapore celebrates Songkran Festival. very hot.

there were Yixiu, Marie n Ng Qi already n Yasin was coming. not many of us for this reunion eh. Ivan n Taufiq wld join us later. Imran came surprisingly, for a while. then there was a blackout, twice. i ate until i was bloated then i surrendered. haha. left with marie. went to Diana's hse for cell grp.

it was a small grp but easier to fellowship. we went to AV for dinner n aijia drove.. hoho~ was still full for dinner so i only had avocado juice.

:: hoho~ ::

sat was happening.. went to church.. walked to SAJC gate, trying to find a shortcut in...but couldn't.. perspired a lot. finally reached. the security guard stopped me n told me to wait because the church pple who are carrying the equipment over haven't arrived, he guessed they would come at 5pm. so i was desperately trying to contact them to find out if it's true. they finally came.. so i helped a bit to unload the equipment from the van. i was supposed to take photos n videos of the setting up. but my camera low batt, so cannot take video.

anyway~~ stayed in church till 4+pm.. too late to go for Amos' commissioning.. n since i was not going boon lay already i smsed geoffrey tt i would not turn up for his bday party. so i went to Suntec with rebekah. there was an IT fair n it was SUPER crowded. no joke~ by the time we squeezed in thru the crowd n she bought an external HDD n we squeezed all the way out again it was soon time to meet Wendy they all. so i took bus 14 n walked over to dhoby ghaut mrt station.

david arrived first.. n i was thirsty, so we went to Mos n got a drink. there we waited for wendy n shaun to arrive. after a long time of trying to decide where to have dinner, we finally came to a decision to go Fish n Co. my first time dining at the glass house.. i was v happy..!! hehe..


wendy n i shared a Seafood Platter for Two but it was too much for us n i dun really like it.

after that michael arrived n we went to Mind Cafe. we tried to play Smarty Pants, but we dun really understand, then tried to play this red indian game but forgot its name n in the end we didn't play that, played Niagara.. i lost. n Life simpson's version. quite fun n it lasted us till 11.20pm. then we left.

by the time i got home my feet were super tired n almost cramping. i missed The Pianist at 10.30pm =( went to bed n woke up next morning around 6.20am. was the earliest to reach church.. hoho~ was just sitting down outside the locked LT when elena arrived with the keys.. hoho~ was very warm during the setup but i dun mind.. kinda got used to perspiring after spending 2 weekends in tj balai. oh my parents missed COR service again. they went fishing this weekend. haha

the BB boys were here n the sermon was about 1 Thess 1. i'm glad Chris explained abt the background of the letters from Paul. i wouldn't have been able to understand better.


after service i went for my cousin's baptism, with Elohim n M'kkaddesh. i'm also glad to see Chin Wee getting baptised. yday i wanted to take video but low batt, but today i came with a fully charged batt n when i wanted to take video, the memory was full.. very dui leh. had to quickly erased some photos to take new ones.

after baptism service i went to sengkang, met Chihiro n the guy who wants to jio her. hmm.. waited for swee yi to come.. she accompanied me to have lunch (at 3.30pm) i was so hungry i finished a yoshinoya beef rice bowl in 10 min. really gobbling down the food. haha.. walked around.. then yan qiao arrived. we took bus to my house then i gave them a crash course on flash. haha.. they didn't stay long.. but we went to punggol plaza for dinner(at 7+pm). wasn't hungry but it was dinner time so i ate again. haha.

:: weird dream ::

had a weird dream last night..

dreamt that i was at Chris' house with Jieling.. i was trying to check my email but the interface was terrible.. haha..

n then i dreamt that i was having lunch with a group of aunties including my mom.. after that i spotted a species of bird that i nv see b4.. so i ran after it.. it was fluffy and dark brown n has HOT PINK feathers at the tip of its wing. Ai Mei was running after me, she wanted to see the photos i took of her last time.. but i told her to wait because i want to take photo of the bird. but i felt bad to ask her to wait because she's a princess la. everyone will want to make her happy. anyway i saw the bird n its baby, it does not have pink feathers, but white instead. very small very cute. but i think i didn't manage to take good photos. after that among the group of aunties there's a daughter called Cai Jun. i thought it was Zai Jun n told my mom her name is Zai Jun. but she corrected me with her hand gesture 'C'.. doesn't make sense but i'm just relating my dream specifically. haha.

:: missing ::

still miss the time i spent in tanjung balai.. the food, the smell, the sights, n of cuz the children. through our conversation with Uncle Asun last sunday i realise that he finds it difficult to communicate with the youths, and that i dun seem to understand how adults think. so i guess my main focus will be the children n youth. right now, they say Wiky is the only youth left. n i have been wondering, how come i dun see pple around my age in church?

my dad also desires to do something for the pple there. on wed he took leave from work.. we went to changi village for lunch n he bought 2 frisbies for the children there to play. the one we used to successfully bring ah qiang over to church! but that day i was kinda sian sian. reluctant to go out for breakfast, reluctant to go changi beach.. but we still went la. i had a good time tanning on his motorbike. we saw a shop that belongs to Salvation Army. they sold a pair of pants for $4 to my dad who later discovered it wasn't his size. -.-" although that day i felt moodless to do anything, it was still happening in the end la.

Chihiro came at night. her motive is to use the internet la. so i let her use while i watched tv.. she was very direct in asking money from me.. i owed her a Christmas present n she bought it for herself n claimed money from me. i would prefer her to be more humble.

on thurs i was really bored. i watched a movie at home while i ate Indomie mee goreng.. =) then i kept playing Spider solitaire n online jigsaw puzzles. things that i can do while i have holidays.. haha.. noel smsed to tell me that the distribution of the da vinci magazines was postponed.. i was GLAD! becuz i dun have to wake up super early (5am!) but that night i couldn't sleep. woke up around 4am n started to imagine (well those of u who know me well, know that i imagine things alot!) myself owning a house in tanjung balai, it has proper sewage n flush, aircon, n lotsa rooms so that i can bring my whole cell grp there. then i imagined 3 burglars who tried to break in, died. wahaha..

after that i imagined me n a few friends at some kinda water sports park.. hmm i dunno how to describe what we were playing.. there's a track with a few lanes n the water is very shallow, so we glided on the water along the track together, like waterski. then there was a sharp drop.. very exciting.. haha.. after that we had parasailing.. i didn't have a parachute so i imagined a guy (i wun say who!) held on to me.

i smelled coffee n i know my mom is awake already, but i was still struggling to go back to sleep. woke up around 10+am. still worried about my portfolio concept.

Tuesday, March 07, 2006

:: testimony ::

wanna praise God for today.. i had my portfolio assessment at 10.30am.. and last night i rushed my work till 3am.. actually, like i mentioned in my last entry, i didn't have the mood to do my work.. so i actually could have finished it probably around 1am, but i dragged.. before sleep i remembered that in the email from the lecturer, there was instruction to have our websites hosted (put the website online). so i told myself to do it the next morning before going to school.

around 8.45am i remembered that i need to go online to do something but i forgot what. i only remembered one of them. which is to submit my monthly payment for child sponsorship. then as i closed the browser, i remembered the second thing, which is to host the website. i have an account in geocities, so i uploaded my flash file and images n set up an index.html. then i went to school.

before going upstairs to the presentation room, i remembered to print my resume at the printing shop. thank God that the USB port has been repaired so that i can print my work there.

i had only 5 printed pieces of work to show where i was supposed to show 20. so mr eric tan said he can only give me marks for 5 pieces. but thank God that i hosted the website, even though it's in geocities, at least it's online. so i wun have to lose even more marks. i had prayed for God's favour to be upon me for the presentation. thank God that i didn't feel as scared as i usually would be. and the lecturers who assessed me didn't give much comments n criticism to my concept. but i rather they let me know how to improve before i print the actual pieces..

really thank God.. i feel so relieved now!

:: Tj Balai ::

can't stop thinking abt the trip to Tj Balai..

from monday, when i found out that i have a portfolio assessment next tue, i started working on it.. every day very stressed cuz i still have no idea how i want my portfolio to look like.. i want it to best describe my style.. very difficult.

finally on thur i managed to show yihan my draft of the flash.. then she advised me to work on my print stuff first.. fri brought my stuff to print.. went to 5 places to print, so that i can compare the quality. left house around 1+pm n was done around 4+ so i went to find my dad.. to eat my late lunch.. haha.. then he drove me to tekka mall for dinner with my mom. just nice my aunts were there. shopped for groceries for Uncle Asun's family.

went home to work a while on my stuff then packed my bag n slept early.

sat woke up at 7+am to go Harbourfront to meet Persis, Gail n Joseph.. they were having breakfast at mac already. boarded Penguin 6... whoa nice man.. the seats were different. they even played DVD for the passengers! watched a thai movie The Bodyguard.. the subtitles are super crappy la.. indonesian english.. hahaha.. there was a cute guy in the show too ;)

i was almost unwilling to leave the ferry cuz the show had not ended yet.. =( haha.. we were met by Uncle Asun n Phei Phei at the customs.. we went to uncle Asun's place to put down our bags.. Ai mei my fav girl still so antisocial..

unpacked some stuff then took oplik with phei phei to Ibu Aniong's house to get some cake baking utensils n stuff.. i then realised i stayed there before.. so pai seh that i forgot n didn't recognise the place until i got nearer.. then took oplik to church. ordered indo-mie goreng for lunch but it arrived only just before the Ladies' Ministry session started. conducted games session with the ladies.. then gail led in sharing word. she sensed that she was losing the attention of the ladies so she cut her sharing short. then persis took over in teaching them to bake cake. Wiky came.. haha.. he wanted to learn to play the keyboard from Joseph.. taught Elisa n Bena to sing He's Able n read to them The Lion King storybook, translating each sentence. then it was time to go back to uncle Asun's place.

enjoyed sunset n chatting with Wiky n Joseph on the rooftop.. there were hammocks but i dun dare to sit on it. haha.. the girls who live next door came to play swing on it. went downstairs for dinner.. sad to say, i didn't have the appetite to eat a lot. after dinner went to Indo, a shopping centre in Balai.. gail was successful in getting Ai Mei to play with her.. haha..



went back.. moved our bags to the air-conditioned room.. then bathed. after that i realised there was a hole in my pants.. :S did my quiet time then slept. Ai Mei became antisocial towards us again once she went home n saw her mom. haha.. dreamt of hao n a lot of pple we know..

next day, woke up around 8am. mostly waited around. went to the market n bought breakfast. we were lucky that day a neighbour cooked fried bee hoon and gave us a big bowl of it.. played ball with a small boy who lives next door until it was time to go. took a chartered van to Ibu Aniong's place to pick up Vita n a few kids, then further down picked up a few more kids to go to church. went out around the area with Phei Phei, gail n a few kids to find more children to go church. during sunday school session Persis led worship, i led arts n craft, taught them to do a lion mask then joseph taught word, about Daniel in the Lion's Den. session ended early so Phei Phei asked them to recite the memory verse. Bena was the first to recite.. then i encouraged Elisa to recite as much as she remembered. after sunday school Persis went visiting with Gail n Phei Phei.. i stayed behind to play with the children.

went for lunch at the nearby Bakso stall. i didn't like it.. haha.. Gail was teasing Wiky by asking him what is Tongkat Ali n how come "1 minum, 2 menikmati" (one drinks, both enjoy)? haha.. went back for a chat before service starts. worship is good.. according to Asun, those people who used to be distracted during prayer, were praying sincerely now. things are indeed improving. Praise God! after service we had a praying session. supported Gail while she prayed for a new believer. prayed for xiuling for peace although there were classmates who tore up her textbook. then they brought out the cakes they baked yesterday to eat. chatted with Wiky n took photos of people. Ai mei actually smiled!!!! very amazing haha.. took a video of Gail playing peek-a-boo with her.



then it was time to go to the jetty. Uncle Asun has priority so he told us he will reserve seats for us. Gail n i sat IN FRONT of the air con lor... froze to numbness. Uncle Asun told us some stuff abt the church. It was playing Air Force One on the TV in front. but i watched b4. tried to sleep. forgot what i dreamt of. my mind's still full of the things i saw n heard n did. had dinner at the food court. Uncle Asun shared with us even more stuff. felt that he's really spiritually mature, and able to lead the church in Balai.

all this while i've been worrying abt my portfolio assessment on tue, but i'm really glad to be able to take a break and serve God. went home to do a bit work but can't concentrate sia. tired also. so i unpacked my stuff n went to sleep.

i don't know y, i have no peace.. alot of things in my mind. dreamt of my old friends n i was playing a game of treasure hunt with them in a shopping centre..

now no mood to do work.
