yeah i was saying, i took leave for some rest. been having practices for Worship 07 on thurs and fri is THE DAY. so i didn't want to rush around too much. actually i needed to buy something, so i told myself to go out, and be back by 1pm for more rest at home. but i ended up taking photos of my collection (see below) until 1pm! went for lunch with my mom and aunts at Outram Park. i was really shocked that my aunts had ordered... 4 fish dishes + 2 veg dishes ++! i've never eaten so much fish in a meal before. :S collected my HK + BKK photos that i asked my aunt to develop. whee~
took train to bugis. wanted to go bras basah to look for a specific assessment book for Phei Phei. Popular bookstore don't have, despite its 4-level big-sized branch. weird. so i went around other shops to look for it. i must buy it before going to church, or else i would have no more chance to find it. took quite long at that. finally managed to find it at a small bookshop there. wanted to also go to Dashing Diva clearance sale, but it started pouring. reluctantly i had to go home. wanted to rest, take a shower, but i realise i was late already. haiz. shopping took too much time.
Worship07 was great. i had asked weiting, judy, and swee yi along, but all not free. haiz. i'm quite upset with swee yi lor. always ask her out but she busy, and when she's free she didn't even think of asking me out, assuming i would not be free. she said she would be going ktv with her friends on fri. my first thought was, how come u nv ask me along! i know i won't be free to go, but she didn't even bother to ask! i think i have just lost a friend. u know, since January judy tried to ask us all out but all the while we didn't manage to. whenever i call her she say she's busy and will call me back, in the end she didn't. argh. i'm upset because it mattered a lot to me. =(
anyway, besides that, i was saying Worship07 was great. felt that we actually didn't prac enough, but just go as the Spirit leads lor. very free flow. went overtime, but, it's normal la. hehe.
after that went for supper with my cell grp and Agape. actually, i was at Al-Azhar with Agape only. my cell grp went for duck rice. Elohim was at Al-Ameen. after Agape went back i went to find my cell grp guys and we went to look for Elohim. haha.. to chat. There's this guy called Ryan who was from RV. again i don't recognise him. oh i think i forgot to mention that there was one day i went to look for my mom for lunch and then we went to New Balance factory outlet near her workplace. Then there was this guy called Shawn who recognised me. i wonder how come i have no idea who he is at all. he said he was from RV... =x okay back to this Ryan, he remembers that i was from choir, and that i know Zhengnian. haha. a rather handsome but paikia junior. ;) jialat la, where was i in sec sch man. how come pple rem me but i dun have any recollection of these pple at all.
Kelvin sent me home. wahh so touched. jayce asked whether we live near each other, and i replied, "actually, we live worlds apart". haha.. i think i really need to learn driving liao la. not everyone can be so willing to send me all the way home one lor. so on the journey i keep asking him abt driving and cars. reached home abt 2+am. packed my bag for Tj Balai.

Passing Remark - Ep.1
I think models should be a little more ...meaty .... Like me. Like most people. That way normal people will know whether certain clothes fit us or not. If nice clothes are meant only for skinny people, then... i have nothing to say. For international designer clothes brand targetting asians, their models should be asians.
Between western and jap fashion styles, i would choose to follow jap. between jap and thai/hk styles, i'd go for the latter. i appreciate being an asian more and more.
graphic design-wise i also think so. feel that american design is losing out to asian's nowadays. HA HA!

:: driving?? ::
7 July Sat
Special Day! 07.07.07 - a good reason to be welcome the cell grp with this lame opening.
Planned games for cell grp. Did Bible Trivia. hope they enjoyed it.
worship prac.
sun
Sunday service. Sermon on Habakkuk 1. lunch with cell grp at Marina Sq. No choir prac today! finally can get to rest one weekend. went to Sentosa after that. Sort of a personal retreat. hmmm Sentosa is more n more commercialised. no longer my haven. sigh. I took monorail in to Beach Station, queued up for the tram to Palawan, Tanjong Beach. Instead of the tram i got a minibus instead. ok la, aircon lor. but i prefer open-air leh. haha. after the ride i changed to take the tram to Siloso Beach. I think they alternate trams and minibuses la. "suay-suay" kena minibus again. >.< hahahaha. finally decided to find a spot to read the Bible and just listen to the waves. sigh~~~~~ just beside me was a couple making out. And not far away i could hear music playing from Cafe Del Mar or one of those pubs in the area. and screams of people as they get dragged and thrown into the sea for fun. there was quite a big group of Thai kids, wonder if they're here to study.
i couldn't medidate... my heart was on something. someone. so frustrating.
mon
Andrielle passed her driving test! hmm... went to shirley's house with her for vocal practice. hehe. waited very long for bus 64!! next time i will take MRT instead. thought bus would be faster and more direct since my workplace is very near bukit merah.
shirley cooked beef don for us. YUMMY!~~~ i understand onions are there to make it taste and smell better. just that i mind sinking my teeth into them. haha.. at first i thought one bowl of rice would not be enough for me, but i have been fasting lunch (on and off la) so i shouldn't eat too much at dinner. when we started prac singing i felt very full. haha.. my stomach is slow la. not bad i think i have a better understanding of diaphragms. i must have been using it to sing la, if not i think my voice quality would have been worse. but i need to understand it better to utilise it better. i still dun understand my sec sch choir conductor J Tham's analogy of imagining i have noses at my waist.
played with Shirley's Wii~! honestly i had no idea what it was until i tried using it. was fascinated that it makes sounds and vibrates as alerts. played bowling and tennis with it. haha..
after that shirley had a conference for work, so andrielle and i made our way back. i started considering whether i shld learn driving or not. i have always been a scaredy-cat when it comes to operating vehicles.
hmm, some reasons to learn driving:
1. my dad's driving is getting from bad to worse, i want to learn and next time drive him around
2. a car can bring my whole family out. my dad's motorbike can't.
3. i can leave my files / books / etc etc in a car. when i was still a student i wished my dad drove a car so that i could do my homework last min on the way to school. when i was taking O Levels i wished i could revise last min on the way to school. also, there was once i fell asleep on the journey to sch. i could have fallen off the bike!
4. it's a useful skill la. (just attended a wedding dinner on 14 July, my uncle drank quite a bit, and his wife had to take the wheel) i'm not asking for a drunkard husband though.
5. i used to have a childhood dream, that i would drive my jeep all the way from Singapore to Hong Kong and then settle there. and my travelling companion would take turns with me, to drive or sleep.
6. sometimes i feel quite sad that my cell grp leave me out in informal outings like supper just because i live so far.
and now some reasons not to:
1. i can't afford a car! and fuel, maintenance, etc etc.. even licence itself costs as much as my public transport budget for the whole year.
2. the money could be better spent.
3. public transport is cheaper - and faster to town at peak hours
4. i can't even handle a bicycle.
5. there are lotsa road hazards out there besides myself
6. i would need 110% attention and energy to drive safely - often i can't afford that
tue
went to Bugis to meet chuinfang to return her VCDs i borrowed since poly days. oh my goodness. hahaha.. had beijing ramen and xiaolongbao. yummy~! Bugis street is so like Bangkok Suan Lum Night Bazaar!! u can find message t-shirts there! but i didn't ask for the price la. bought 2 tops. heehee.. i wanna go there more often to shop :P oopss i guess i just demonstrated how deprived i am. i mean, because i didn't even know Bugis Street is so cool. haha. i must have not been there for YEARS.
wed
hmmm... i kinda rem going somewhere. i'll update this part when i can rem.
sat
shared word for cell grp. About Habakkuk 1, a recap, as well as go thru for chapter 2. did a different approach, because i can't find anything factual to share about this character Habakkuk.
went for wedding dinner as mentioned briefly above. my parents dragged me there. my dad told me to go in his place because he was tired. in the end he turned up too! heard that some pple couldn't make it so there were spaces. the groom is his cousin. haha.. quite cute to know that my dad has cousins. oh i'm sure he has, but i've NEVER seen them before. somemore so young, just getting married. the dinner was at The Sentosa Resort. been there before for Alan & Zane's wedding dinner, 14 June (forgot which yr). and this day is 14 July. cool. haha.
went home late.
ahh share more another day la. it's late now, 7.30pm, i should have knocked off already.

:: Will you love me fur ever? ::
Oh i am so in love with this puppy!
This chihuahua puppy literally wears its heart on its sleeve.
The cute male pooch, born with a perfect heart-shaped patch on its side, has been suitably named Heartkun by its owner in northern Japan.
The one-and-a-half-month-old pup was born as one of a big litter, but is the only new arrival to sport such a heart-warming coat.
According to owner Emiko Sakurada, this is the first occasion a puppy with such marks had been born out of the more than one thousand chihuahuas she has bred.

:: malaria ::
Malaria is an Italian word that means "bad air".
i've subscribed to National Geog magazine.. every months comes a story that impacts me. This month's story is about Malaria and how serious it is. The Malaria disease is able to evolve/mutate to immune itself against new vaccines everytime. so disgusting!
There's this quote in the article: "A lull in malaria transmission could cause many people to lose any immunity they have built up against the disease—even adults, immunologically speaking, could revert to infant status—rendering it more devastating if it returned. This is why a partial victory over malaria could be worse than total failure." - reminds me of the verse in Luke 11:24-26
"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."

Super tired..
July is here.. haa so fast.. June 2007 is forever gone. Since the start of Love Singapore, it's time for fasting and praying. (i've been inconsistent in my fasting but i haven't been eating full lunch.)
tue - went for prayer meeting after work. asked my dad to join me, but he refused. haa. he drove me to church. but we stopped by Bugis on the way to find something to eat. it's been years since i've been there, don't even know where the eating place is.
ended up doing backup for projection. haa. stress sia. Rev John Loong shared abt praying dangerously - 1. Search me 2. Break me 3. Stretch me 4. Use me 5. Lead me. indeed these prayers are not comfortable prayers.
wed - dinner with Natalie at Vivocity. Ate lotsa seafood at White Dog Cafe. hehe. Calamari and Baked Mussels as appetisers and Salmon Pizza as main course, totally seafood! Glad we didn't order more than that because my appetite has grown smaller these few days. Oh we also had an Oreo Milkshake. No wonder the bill came up to $40+ hehe. all the savings for the past few days was splurged just like that.
after that i rushed to Bishan J8 to watch Transformers!!! with wenzheng and malcolm. Yay finally.. was thinking of finding pple to watch it at first. yeah my fav part would be the part Bumble Bee played songs for the girl. Haha. after movie we had supper at S11. had teh n i confidently said tt tea will not affect me. i ended up sleepless. :(
thur - planned to go home slp after work, but eileen asked me out. so haha ok la. we had dinner at chinatown. my first time eating Frog Leg porridge!!!! i ate my friends! tastes like a cross between fish and chicken =O then i went to change money at People's Park. known to have good rates in singapore. i still had thai baht since my bangkok trip and i think i shld change back since the thai baht is low. turns out ok only, i was still considering the thai baht exchange rate n the woman changed my money already. =( ah well.
walked to clarke quay Central and window shopped. eileen was considering buying a bag from Charles & Keith. i'm such a lousy companion for shopping, because i go for cheap deals, compromising quality at times. my black bag? $10 and goes everywhere with me. then we had ice cream and chatted till the shop switched off the lights on us. >.<
i feel v stretched indeed. 1. to take up vocals duty this weekend or not? 2. this weekend i heard tt choir needs to stay back again. i think i will get my rest only after Worship07. i shldn't be looking forward for it to end actually.

:: in the valley ::
updates:
14 June - had a quiet birthday. had lunch with Ashley and her colleagues at Malaysian railway food court, partly because i don't want to have lunch with my colleague. not on my special day. heh. after work took a slow walk to clarke quay, because i only had to reach church at 8pm. had catered dinner with Graham Kendrick and his team. didn't recognise GK though. after that i went for ice cream with Esther and Elena at Mac's. not a bad day la.
15/6 - realise that God had blessed my birthday a lot, because it was cloudy and overcast today, but was a great sunny day yesterday. after work went to church for GK concert. dunno y i can't rem where the concert is held. i went to DCB but found the doors locked. then i realise i shld be at SAJC cultural centre instead. supposed to help Shirley out with projection, but some guy called David bao ka liao. hee. my dad was there to help out as usher, so i went back with him.
16/6 - went to World Vision with Jac. She and Amos had planned to help me start to sponsor a child from there. unfortunately the staff were all out for 30-hour Famine camp at Republic Poly, except for one part-time staff. i left my contact details with him and left for Vivocity. supposed to be my birthday celebration with cell grp la. treated those present for lunch at Carl's Jr. shared word for cell grp. was quite clueless abt what to share up till Wed / thur. then i felt tt i shld share something i had made notes on before. so i shared on Daniel. Chris sat in. anyway thank God for moving because my preparation for word was just so-so, but some of them saw it as a wake up call. went to SAJC CC for GK concert. was a little disappointed that they did some same songs as last night. i wanted to buy the trumpet player Raul's cd, but didn't because of the cd cover design. in the end i bought Andy & Gabriel Alonso cd, partly because of the cd cover. it was a pic of them looking lovingly at each other =P
17/6 - again i can't rem where the service was held, SAJC CC or DCB? had a debate with my mom, until she won. she called almost everyone in her cell grp to make sure she's correct. >.< it was supposed to be Father's Day but we didn't have any celebration or indication during service leh. had Worship07 prac, then had dinner with my parents at Hougang Mall. sooo drained. my dad kept nagging at me for not chipping in to pay for the dinner. c'mon, i thought i get a free dinner because it was my birthday?
18/6 - supposed to have a Psychoianz outing to Timbre's, but the lazy organiser didn't contact everyone early enough. Too many pple couldn't make it, so i postponed it to Wed.
19/6 - went to Vivocity to alter my S&K jeans. went to Giant Naturally Marketplace to look for cheap sushi as recommended by Jac. so happy! bought a set and was on my way to the MRT station when i met Natalie. she also wanted to buy sushi so we went back to Giant. then we decided to enjoy our sushi at the waterfront.
20/6 - had quite a great night out with a few Psychoianz. haha. only weiting, weili, shuying, peichun, siangyuan and jianping in the end. gee i thought my kor die-die would come, but he was stuck in the hospital, doing some checkups i think. we celebrated my birthday. hehe had a cake and a Topshop giftcard! gee i NEVER bought anything in Topshop before, and NEVER thought of buying anything from there. the price is ridiculously set la. hmm... wonder how i can use it. didn't really concentrate on the live band, but more on catching up with each other. we tried to come up with our class list according to our register numbers.... haha.. reminisce.. and we exchanged our contact numbers and msn because most of us have lost contact already. surprisingly i realise i still have most of their number.
21/6 - (check out my entry in my other blog) supposed to visit Cailing today, but she just had her operation, and is in ICU, so visitation was not allowed. went to buy a gift for her from Vivocity after collecting my altered jeans.
22/6 - supposed to meet up with "Single's club" today, but because i wanted to visit Cailing first and lotsa other complications we decided to postponed our meeting.
23/6 - finally get to join my cell grp for dinner. went to Bukit Timah food centre for western food.
24/6 - jeremy's back from his mission trip. he even brought some coconut pie for us. very nice indeed! made from coconut flesh, not the grated kind. dunno y i dun eat grated coconut, but only coconut flesh. Worship07 prac and then dinner with my parents. i shldn't have called them. shld just go home and slp instead. haha.
25/6 - went to meet up with my sec sch pals after work. another birthday celebration hehe. had jap food =D had craving for jap food since last time i had cheap sushi at Vivocity. =D they are so nice, bought me a website for a yr because it was in my wishlist! Kwek even printed a certificate of owning the website.. hehehe.. my website is at www.djgemz.com but it's not updated, so i'm using my last yr's content. shucks no time to redesign it. they even sent me all the way home though all of them live in the west! i'm really really grateful.
29/6 - went for Nic's bbq cum birthday party after work. met jinwen at kovan.. i was trying to find a POSB atm but the nearest one is so far away!! i wonder y Heartland mall nv install POSB/DBS atm sia. finally Single's club got to meet up together.. yay.. but i couldn't stay long. was going to Zouk for my kor's dj competition. must show my support la. my first time clubbing this yr. heh. weiting was surprised tt i wanted to come at first. anyway, the competition starts at 10pm but i was almost late for it, because 2 pple snatched cabs from me. =( anyway i went in with weiting and her friend Leo. saw jianping, yong teng, daniel, shuping, lizi and even siong chew who is amazingly skinny now. shuping left soon after kor's session cuz she felt quite drunk. she had been there since 7pm due to a company function at Velvet. was quite disappointed to realise that the smoking ban was not in effect yet. there was freeflow of Paulander beer (bottles). i had a bottle and after tt dunno y immediately felt like puking. i didn't anyway. we went to Phuture together n the guys protected us. so nice.. =) went back at 12am for the announcement of the result. argh kor got 4th. the one i didn't like most got 3rd!! how can!? he got quite expensive prizes though. some of us went to the coffeeshop nearby for roti prata and teh tarik. now i feel yong teng is ...nicer. haha. last time i didn't really like him actually. the 4 guys were from the same pri sch.. so cool that they r still so close now. took cab home but wasted $3 on a tunnel jam. sian.
30/6 - my mom kept asking how come i return home so late but i nv say anything. ha.
cell evangelistic event! was at first v disappointed tt weiting couldn't make it last minute. i smsed Jac to tell her the final number of friends coming and she encouraged me that at least there r 2. had pre-cell lunch and jeremy continued sharing abt his trip. we had prayer in #02-15 and then judy and carl arrived. played First Hands and Settlers of Catan for 2 rounds. didn't get to meet aloy's friend but some of my cell grp pple got to meet my friends. had worship prac so i couldn't join them for dinner. had hoped that they would join my cell grp for dinner though i wouldn't be there. really glad to see them still with them when some of us joined them afterwards. weiting came while i had worship prac. she joined me as i did projection. and then we all went to find my cell grp together at Swirl. though i dunno what's wrong with my emotions but it was certainly a day worth celebrating, my best friends get to meet my cell grp.
dallas had shared abt the parable of the tenants and how we can see ourselves as the tenants. felt really convicted and asked isabella to pray for me.
managed to catch the last train home. had to run for it.
1/7 - received a sms from weiting saying tt she was glad to meet my cell grp. =) isabella wrote me a card to encourage me. so sweet of her! was a littled screwed up in the projection for Holy Communion. =x rev john loong's msg convicted me too, but dunno y i didn't feel tt ready to respond. wanted to skip lunch and take a nap. was so tired after lack of regular sleep over the past few days. kelvin asked elizabeth to help me to do the files for Worship07. it was a good time of catching up la. i realise i wouldn't really fall asleep during the time actually. i'm tired but can't fall asleep, do u know how tt feels? i could only stone at times.
during prayer i told God that i felt broken. and the next moment kelvin led the song "a broken spirit...and a contrite heart... You will not despise..." i started to break down. there r some issues i need to deal with again.
most of the time during prac i was stoning la. felt like i could just breathe my last anytime. i had to miss sab's birthday party because i know i cannot dong until then. started to have a craving for pizza. but sadly i didn't get to satisfy it. my dad brought me to hougang, expecting me to order western food. i ordered fried bee hoon instead. he asked me why, but i didn't answer him.
2/7 - Happy Anniversary indeed. finally my boss remembered that i have been working for him for 1 year already. =D
14 June - had a quiet birthday. had lunch with Ashley and her colleagues at Malaysian railway food court, partly because i don't want to have lunch with my colleague. not on my special day. heh. after work took a slow walk to clarke quay, because i only had to reach church at 8pm. had catered dinner with Graham Kendrick and his team. didn't recognise GK though. after that i went for ice cream with Esther and Elena at Mac's. not a bad day la.
15/6 - realise that God had blessed my birthday a lot, because it was cloudy and overcast today, but was a great sunny day yesterday. after work went to church for GK concert. dunno y i can't rem where the concert is held. i went to DCB but found the doors locked. then i realise i shld be at SAJC cultural centre instead. supposed to help Shirley out with projection, but some guy called David bao ka liao. hee. my dad was there to help out as usher, so i went back with him.
16/6 - went to World Vision with Jac. She and Amos had planned to help me start to sponsor a child from there. unfortunately the staff were all out for 30-hour Famine camp at Republic Poly, except for one part-time staff. i left my contact details with him and left for Vivocity. supposed to be my birthday celebration with cell grp la. treated those present for lunch at Carl's Jr. shared word for cell grp. was quite clueless abt what to share up till Wed / thur. then i felt tt i shld share something i had made notes on before. so i shared on Daniel. Chris sat in. anyway thank God for moving because my preparation for word was just so-so, but some of them saw it as a wake up call. went to SAJC CC for GK concert. was a little disappointed that they did some same songs as last night. i wanted to buy the trumpet player Raul's cd, but didn't because of the cd cover design. in the end i bought Andy & Gabriel Alonso cd, partly because of the cd cover. it was a pic of them looking lovingly at each other =P
17/6 - again i can't rem where the service was held, SAJC CC or DCB? had a debate with my mom, until she won. she called almost everyone in her cell grp to make sure she's correct. >.< it was supposed to be Father's Day but we didn't have any celebration or indication during service leh. had Worship07 prac, then had dinner with my parents at Hougang Mall. sooo drained. my dad kept nagging at me for not chipping in to pay for the dinner. c'mon, i thought i get a free dinner because it was my birthday?
18/6 - supposed to have a Psychoianz outing to Timbre's, but the lazy organiser didn't contact everyone early enough. Too many pple couldn't make it, so i postponed it to Wed.
19/6 - went to Vivocity to alter my S&K jeans. went to Giant Naturally Marketplace to look for cheap sushi as recommended by Jac. so happy! bought a set and was on my way to the MRT station when i met Natalie. she also wanted to buy sushi so we went back to Giant. then we decided to enjoy our sushi at the waterfront.
20/6 - had quite a great night out with a few Psychoianz. haha. only weiting, weili, shuying, peichun, siangyuan and jianping in the end. gee i thought my kor die-die would come, but he was stuck in the hospital, doing some checkups i think. we celebrated my birthday. hehe had a cake and a Topshop giftcard! gee i NEVER bought anything in Topshop before, and NEVER thought of buying anything from there. the price is ridiculously set la. hmm... wonder how i can use it. didn't really concentrate on the live band, but more on catching up with each other. we tried to come up with our class list according to our register numbers.... haha.. reminisce.. and we exchanged our contact numbers and msn because most of us have lost contact already. surprisingly i realise i still have most of their number.
21/6 - (check out my entry in my other blog) supposed to visit Cailing today, but she just had her operation, and is in ICU, so visitation was not allowed. went to buy a gift for her from Vivocity after collecting my altered jeans.
22/6 - supposed to meet up with "Single's club" today, but because i wanted to visit Cailing first and lotsa other complications we decided to postponed our meeting.
23/6 - finally get to join my cell grp for dinner. went to Bukit Timah food centre for western food.
24/6 - jeremy's back from his mission trip. he even brought some coconut pie for us. very nice indeed! made from coconut flesh, not the grated kind. dunno y i dun eat grated coconut, but only coconut flesh. Worship07 prac and then dinner with my parents. i shldn't have called them. shld just go home and slp instead. haha.
25/6 - went to meet up with my sec sch pals after work. another birthday celebration hehe. had jap food =D had craving for jap food since last time i had cheap sushi at Vivocity. =D they are so nice, bought me a website for a yr because it was in my wishlist! Kwek even printed a certificate of owning the website.. hehehe.. my website is at www.djgemz.com but it's not updated, so i'm using my last yr's content. shucks no time to redesign it. they even sent me all the way home though all of them live in the west! i'm really really grateful.
29/6 - went for Nic's bbq cum birthday party after work. met jinwen at kovan.. i was trying to find a POSB atm but the nearest one is so far away!! i wonder y Heartland mall nv install POSB/DBS atm sia. finally Single's club got to meet up together.. yay.. but i couldn't stay long. was going to Zouk for my kor's dj competition. must show my support la. my first time clubbing this yr. heh. weiting was surprised tt i wanted to come at first. anyway, the competition starts at 10pm but i was almost late for it, because 2 pple snatched cabs from me. =( anyway i went in with weiting and her friend Leo. saw jianping, yong teng, daniel, shuping, lizi and even siong chew who is amazingly skinny now. shuping left soon after kor's session cuz she felt quite drunk. she had been there since 7pm due to a company function at Velvet. was quite disappointed to realise that the smoking ban was not in effect yet. there was freeflow of Paulander beer (bottles). i had a bottle and after tt dunno y immediately felt like puking. i didn't anyway. we went to Phuture together n the guys protected us. so nice.. =) went back at 12am for the announcement of the result. argh kor got 4th. the one i didn't like most got 3rd!! how can!? he got quite expensive prizes though. some of us went to the coffeeshop nearby for roti prata and teh tarik. now i feel yong teng is ...nicer. haha. last time i didn't really like him actually. the 4 guys were from the same pri sch.. so cool that they r still so close now. took cab home but wasted $3 on a tunnel jam. sian.

:: june is coming too fast ::
yesterday i was home "early" - earlier than usual. tt's abt 8pm. and i just realised that the calendars on my table are still at May. my goodness, June just went past so fast. June 6, 2007 certainly disappeared from my life cuz i slept the day away.
Missed this month's prayer meeting. it's so easy to miss one after u've missed once (last month). shucks. missed it coz i went to my sec sch friends' gathering instead. i totally forgot tt it's the first tue of the month. but really glad to see Psychoianz girls. we went to Mind Cafe.. my fave hangout with the singles' club last time. what happened to us man..
then on fri went to watch Ocean's Thirteen with cell grp before heading to Jem's place for cell retreat. saw a doc on wed for diarrhoea, he told me to avoid dairy products and fried and oily food, but we had KFC for dinner. haha. i still eat cheesecake and stuff like tt. =x brought lotsa stuff for my cell grp, stuff from bkk. so heavy... 'dumped' them in amos' car when he arrived.
movie was good, though the first part i was quite confused, trying to remember each member of the original Eleven. i was so bloated after KFC i had to throw up some food before i am able to sit and enjoy the movie comfortably. after movie we went to Al-Ameen for supper. i was still too full to eat anything. then we went to Jem's place. we were split into 3 cars. the owner of the house was in the last car so we had to wait for him to let us in, but while we were waiting at the lobby, he had reached n gone in already! haha.. anyway tt night diana n i slept at 4am cuz we were chatting.
next day i woke up rather early. we had icebreakers - getting to know each other, and a session by Amos. really interactive man. bet u didn't know my baptism name is Angeline. but they gave me a new one called Mary haha. jk. then for the session Amos asked us to share abt our dreams. mine is to buy an island and build a villa on it. come to think of it, i think it's very easy for pirates to drop by. Aloysius' dream is to build a school for the poor pple in india, get all those beggars to study for free and then work in his hotel for free. wow. i think all of the guys included at least one car in their dream. lol. amos then related this to giving up even our dreams, for God.
for lunch some of us headed out to Bukit Timah food centre. under Jeffrey's recommendation we had baked rice. Tim joined us. then we bought takeaway food for the rest of them who didn't come along. malcolm joined us there n drove us to KAP supermarket to buy stuff for the bbq. i guess we spent too much time outside cuz by the time we got back to the house there was left little time for the rest to eat before the next session. but of cuz we could be flexible with the time. i had to leave for worship prac before the next session started though. i fell asleep on the bus cuz i was sleepy after lunch.. n when i woke up i thought it was time to alight, so i did, and realised, shit, i'm at the wrong stop! didn't know which bus can get me to church, so i anyhow take bus 153. ended up at outside ComfortDelGro. finally a familiar bus stop. took bus 13 to Potong Pasir. ended up a little late. =x
after prac i shared cab with shirley and josh k to go back to bukit timah. shirley also had a bbq, but she can eat, because she's not SINGING! ahhh... i still ate anyway. malcolm prepared special bbq. not the normal type with crabsticks (but i LOVE crabsticks!! aww...) though i brought vodka for the bbq, no one opened it, so i brought it back. some other occasion ba. we finished bbq abt 11+pm and went back to the house. had a shower n QT. usually the last night of a 'camp' is fiesta time where everyone will stay up late to play, chat etc. but i had to sleep early... i didn't ask around for anyone to swap duty with my because i know from shirley tt june is a very tight period cuz lotsa pple are going on holidays. so.. well.
my phone aka alarm clock fell into the gap between the wall and the bed >.< so it kept ringing but i couldn't reach it. =x jac helped me though. we washed up and malcolm drove us to church. service was kinda special, chris shared a short message while Psalmists are still on the stage. and there was testimony time where everyone fought to share! wow!
after service i went for lunch at the indian tem coffeeshop with cell grp. i tink i felt like i was just drifting around. too tired to be mentally there while i'm physically there. because after tt i still had practice for Worship07, it's gonna be on 20.07.2007! woohoo~! friends, do keep this date free to join me! dallas conducted warmups with us outside... wah as usual i would forget lyrics last minute. and i got into Altos. funny. did my voice become deeper or what.
after tt i asked my dad to fetch me... with so much things to carry i dun wan to walk to the mrt station lor =P he brought me to Changi Village for dinner. not tt interested to eat leh. went back, watch some tv then rested. mom went to family camp, coming back on tue.
monday helped david out by being his date for his commissioning ball. it's at Goodwood Park hotel. i'm quite apprehensive abt formal events actually. he came to pick me up at my office on his dad's taxi. i think i could be the only one who received a bouquet of flowers there. at least i think mine was the biggest. so pai seh! good thing i didn't come in long dress. so obiang.. n there were lotsa girls in knee-length dresses anyway. the dinner was.. hmm not bad la. i prefer coffeeshop food still though. during the dinner the MC kept us entertained. saw lotsa cute guys. =) but didn't exchange any numbers hahaha.. was trying to keep a low profile. then we left, at about 11pm i think.
slept late but woke up at 4am, feeling super warm. switched on the aircon but i couldn't fall asleep again. so i went to watch tv. went back to my bed at 7am n 'napped' till 8am. still had to wear formal cuz got meeting with client. it was a formal meeting with the GM of a hotel and then lunch. Christine and Karen treated us to Hard Rock Cafe lunch. wee~ the fish & chips was not v nice but ok la. still happy. had a long, casual meeting this time.
after work i went home, finally. i've unofficially changed my working hours to 9.15am to 6.45pm.
i miss home.

:: to blog or not to blog ::
sigh. sometimes when i have the time to blog i'd rather watch vcds or play Solitaire. n when i have something to blog, it's always inconvenient, so i have to hold my thoughts. been at this cycle for the whole month of May, if u'd noticed.
hmm, just a quick run thru.
this month i missed Tue prayer meeting on the 8th because i chose to go watch Spiderman 3 with some of my cell grp friends instead. very hard choice :P
on 10th thurs after work i went to PS to meet my sec sch friends, to celebrate Peiyun and Belly's birthdays. They treated us to dinner and Swensen's! so nice... =)
sat... gee on my planner i wrote MCG meeting, but i dun remember if there was a meeting tt day. oopss... led cell word, about Nehemiah, like a continuation of last week's word, but more like a detailed study on chapter 3, which i've been wanting to share about for so long :P after tt there was prac for Mother's day service. prac v long because some of the songs are new and the band dynamics is new too.
sun... after service i went to Vivocity with my parents, sorta to celebrate Mother's Day. we went to Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant. thought it's some big shot because the last time i passed by there i saw a very long queue. turns out just normal, similar food items like the Hong Kong cafe at Kovan as well as Chit Chat cafe in Chinatown. but more ex.
fri 18th went to Vivocity again, cuz on sun the salesperson in Giant told us tt the promotion for suitcases will come on Fri. so i went with my mom. we had dinner at Food Republic, my fav eating place in Vivocity. Last time went to Vivo to watch Spiderman i ordered a dao xiao mian, $5, very big portion, i felt v guilty for not being able to finish it, so this time i wanted to eat it again, sharing with my mom. even finishing this was still difficult because we also ordered dim sum. bought suitcases, one small one medium. needed to buy cuz my sis took my small one :( it's mine because i pasted a sticker on it, n i went to HK with it!
sat went to Tanjung Balai, this time by myself. at first didn't feel lonely or what, but felt tt i needed help, esp someone to lead worship. n then at night i realise i have no activity, no one to chat with, cuz Wiky went out with friends without bringing me along. but i watched tv with his family instead. oh yah, i cut my hair there for 20,000Rp! that's about $3.50. cool! i just needed to show the hairdresser a pic in a magazine for what i'm looking for. =) sun Persis, n some Praise pple came in to do Sunday school.
21st may mon i forgot abt the Gen12ii commissioning thing until Andrielle smsed me. so after work i headed to Faith Methodist church to attend it. saw a lot of NYP Campus Crusade friends. n a lot of my church pple, esp M'kkadesh. then i realise it's Amber's graduation ceremony, which is why they're there. quite impressed that the worship leader seems like a young girl, n then i feel like my church youths are old (i'm not! hehe). felt tt this time the commissioning service is not...the same. the emphasis is not very much on the mission trippers, but rather on the graduates. dunno la. after tt i went for supper with my church friends. a little hungry n tempted to eat a lot, like Gene's fried bee hoon and fried chicken wingsssss (sobbbb...) but i have to control because it's late! i'd get indigestion for bullying my stomach! oh it's also my sister's birthday tt day, but she's away in a resort... no one to chat with me on msn boohoo so bored at work.
23rd wed.. Amos' birthday celebration. dress code is a long sleeve shirt inside a short sleeve shirt. weather damn hot to wear like tt! haha.. only put on the outer wear when i reached. can't pronounce n can't rem the name of the restaurant. i only know it's in Sixth Ave Centre. been searching online for directions to get there. Bukit Timah is just not my place. dinner is not bad, tried new food, interesting.
sat went to far east plaza with Angie and jeffrey to pick up books n cds from Crest for PRC. this is the first time for both of them. there's a Planetshakers cd promotion! buy any old album and get a Reflector album free!! wow! i quickly called Kelvin to tell him abt it, cuz i lost his Reflector album, in thailand (sobb...) n i decided to get it in the promotion. win-win la, i get a cd cheaper n he gets Reflector. it was out of production n i couldn't find it in any store, until now. wow, thank God! had lunch with cell grp at chicken rice stall near church, with Angie joining us. cell word was led by kelvin, about David. there was a part about Bathsheba n i wanted to share abt what Carol shared, but i was too eager ba, i think i must have sounded feminist. haha.. n after cell grp i went to set up for PRC. stayed back for prayer n learned something from Dallas. he shared about the poor widow who put in 2 coins in the offering bag, n it was all she had. Jesus commended her for giving more than the rich pple. it's not abt the amt actually, it's abt the proportion lor. went back for dinner with my mom. yeah i guess i haven't been eating with her much. she was alone cuz my dad went to tj balai with his cell grp.
sun... argh i missed the prayer meeting with MCG! i only realised tt when i saw them walk in together, n i wondered is there something i didn't join in? haiyo. this service is reflective service. umm.. they didn't switch on the lights during sermon n it was certainly difficult to stay focused. then there was flag day for Thailand. Amber and Shuhui shared abt their experience in Thailand. after service i went to man the booth with Angie n Jeff. and i guess we started packing up quite late, because we ended late. Jeff drove me to Far East to return the stuff n Jac accompanied me. thank God there's her around, because i forgot to take out the money from my bag!! she helped me pay first. i am really blur. even the counting of money i wasn't sure if it's correct (now i'm sure it tallies). so after tt we went to AV to find our cell grp for lunch. hmm, the roast duck rice is nice! n avocado juice.. v long since i had it. v filling sia. decided to go home after tt, instead of going for the Global Day of Prayer. i know i would learn something more if i had gone, but, hmm.. went home to sleep and then had dinner with my mom, cuz my dad was still not back from balai. she kept bugging me to wake up. ahhh
31st thur. Bangkok. didn't dare to sleep but i was so tired i know i have to. was afraid of missing my flight. but i felt more secure when my dad says he's gonna send me to the airport :D checked in and had breakfast at Han's, the only eatery at the Budget Terminal. then went in at 5.10am, to walk around the Budget terminal. first time in there since it opened. lotsa shops still not open yet :( but the Duty Free Shop is. i saw something new - Absolut Pear!!! green colour, nice! i'm gonna buy it~~~ then went into the boarding gate. so laoya one, have to WALK to the plane. i didn't feel v well on the plane, but not as bad as my return flight from HK the last time. was quite happy to get a window seat anyway. but towards the end of the flight i felt tt i need to go to the toilet, but too paiseh to ask the 2 pple next to me to let me cross. so i decided to hold it till i reach the airport.
didn't get to meet Kiko at the airport, she didn't reply my sms also. :( so i was quite bored waiting for my sis to arrive. so bored tt i walked finish the airport. umm, almost la. so bored tt i decided to take a paper and write my sister's name, to flash it at arriving passengers like a tour guide. :P her flight was early, but the baggage took v long to come out. when she came out she told me tt she's got mild food poisoning. oh no.. but the whole trip she kept complaining abt how sick she felt tt at the end of the trip i felt sick too. really. actually i was quite upset during the trip. she kept complaining abt everything and verbally abusing me, but i decided not to talk back, or we would have ended it really nasty. n i realise tt it's better we don't live together. @#$%^&*. :( this trip was supposed to be our birthday celebration. the hotel is very high class wor. welcome fruits, toothbrush, weighing machine, a bottle of water delivered everyday, wow... i actually felt tt i dun deserve such high class treatment. the more u experience, the more u expect from the next experience.
anyway here's what we did, we went out for lunch at Bug & Bee. place looks interesting, but the food was too salty. got sick of it after half the plate. the drink was diluted. then we went back n rested in the hotel room till 6pm, then we went out to Suan Lum Night Bazaar. was a bit disappointed tt i didn't get to go to TCDC, some design centre cuz my sis was not feeling well n i wasn't sure yet how safe it is to go out on my own. tried to ask a Thai friend Annie out, but she made other plans already. awww.. so anyway at suan lum i was quite happy la, bought quite a bit of things. had dinner at the tree house. dinner was ok. i had spaghetti. wanted to order beer, but it was Vesak day, they don't sell beer. >.< my sis kept wanting to go back. so we stayed until 9pm only. turns out it was just the right time to go back. by the time showered, do QT etc.. it was 12am!
next morning woke up early.. planned to go The Neilson Hays Library to chill out. i wasn't sure of its location n i didn't copy its address. i thought most pple would know the place. sigh. took v long to find it. bought a few old books from the library, looks like some of them came from Singapore! haha.. the library is really nice. looks like our SAM. we took taxi back to hotel to drop the stuff then took BTS to Siam. haven't found anything to buy until we reached MBK. walked around on my own while my sis went to extend her eyelashes for 700 baht. bought a dress and heels for a friend's commissioning ball. watched Pirates of the Carribean 3. had to stand up for the King's song. didn't hear anyone singing leh. it was quite an experience :P then we had dim sum for dinner. wah, 14 baht per basket! tt's like 60¢! wowoww!! ordered scallops, abalone... wow... haha.. took BTS back to Sala Daeng. finally got chance to buy bras. :P
sat's plan is to have breakfast at Jim Thompson cafe. u know, Jim Thompson is really famous in Thailand for silk. but we didn't get to see any silk there. hmm. anyway there was a blackout in the hotel and even the lift stopped working. so we didn't go back to the room. we took MRT straight to Kamphaeng Phet station, where Chatuchak market is. didn't really get to the right section until afternoon. and by then my sis was complaining of the heat she wanted to go back to hotel. she kept rushing me like my mom would. i did buy some stuff, but not enough. haha. her friends came n so we followed them around. n i was also starting to get sian of shopping already. so we left. took BTS to Siam, where we walked to Central World. wow, the BTS is on the 3rd level, and on the 2nd level it's like an overhead bridge, but it connects station to station! tt means if i want to save a few bahts on the BTS i can choose to walk instead. safer than the traffic on 1st level. i'm impressed. singapore wouldn't have done tt. our mrts would rather make us take the train than give us an option.
had ice cream at iberry. then chilled out while we chat with her friends. they're v funny and have lotsa experience to share. their english is also v good. =) then we took a taxi to Yaowarat Rd (Chinatown) because i wanted to revisit it. i like it. =) but we took taxi again, to Phra Athit Rd for dinner instead. this place is also nice. n v near Sanam Luang. i was actually planning to avoid Sanam Luang, because it's near the government area...n on wed there was the political thing going on there. :S got to see an old fort, n Rama 8 bridge. very very scenic. there was some orange lightning going on at the other side of the Chao Phraya River. cool. we had dinner zi cha style at an eatery called 1000 Thanks. the place is air-conditioned, walls look raw and huge photos framed on the walls. very very nice~! food aroi mark. haven't had such a good meal since i reached BKK.
walked to Khao San Rd to take a look. my first time there. =) i'm glad to meet my sis' friends there, who would bring us to places. it was very ...angmoh-influenced. lotsa pubs. we went into one.. there actually a few of them that would broadcast movies (pirated) to customers. the one we went was showing The Marine. boring show. i ordered a bottle of Singha. i like ice cold beer. when the chill is gone i dun really like it anymore. after tt we took taxi back to hotel to rest n pack up. it's our last night there. i was sooo tired i couldn't finish reading 2 chapters of the Bible.
next morning i had to wake up extra early. wanted to go to the supermarket to shop. i realise i could have gone even earlier because it opens at 8am. i had set my alarm clock wrongly at Singapore time, so it went off at 7am. so i snoozed it all the way to 8am. went back to room to wait for shopping centre to open at 10.30am. i spent too long trying to find something for my boss, so when i went back to the room for final packing i was rushing. didn't get to go for church service as planned because there was no time. we checked out of the room, took a taxi n got to the airport. i checked in n found my friend Kiko. finally got to see her! i didn't really know what to do. i'm supposed to get into the gate already but my sis convinced me tt i still have time to eat. i also wanted to catch up with my long lost friend. so i went to eat. ended up after going thru the custom i was left with 10 minutes to get to the gate. and my gate was soooo far away! that's the bad thing about new and bigger airports. argh. i was 2nd last to board the plane. it was so warm n stuffy on the plane i thought i wouldn't need my jacket. so i stowed it in my bag in the luggage compartment. minutes after take off i started to feel cold, and sick. i had contracted stomach flu from my sister. she probably complained so much tt i got it. argh. this time i have an aisle seat, tt means i can go to toilet as often as i want to. i almosted fainted on the plane. had the feeling of blacking out, but i managed to stumble to the toilet before i did.
anyway after landing i managed to buy Absolut Pear and Hoegarden. hehe.. still continue to have diarrhoea up to today.i weighed myself in bkk it was x+6 kg, but at home i became x+1 kg! (numbers are sensitive here.) woah. i dun mind losing the weight as long as i dun bleed man.
hmm. today at work i learnt tt my boss has gone to Bangkok. -.-
i'm drooling and smiling when i watch Golf on the Golf-Mike cd + vcd i bought. =D
hmm, just a quick run thru.
this month i missed Tue prayer meeting on the 8th because i chose to go watch Spiderman 3 with some of my cell grp friends instead. very hard choice :P
on 10th thurs after work i went to PS to meet my sec sch friends, to celebrate Peiyun and Belly's birthdays. They treated us to dinner and Swensen's! so nice... =)
sat... gee on my planner i wrote MCG meeting, but i dun remember if there was a meeting tt day. oopss... led cell word, about Nehemiah, like a continuation of last week's word, but more like a detailed study on chapter 3, which i've been wanting to share about for so long :P after tt there was prac for Mother's day service. prac v long because some of the songs are new and the band dynamics is new too.
sun... after service i went to Vivocity with my parents, sorta to celebrate Mother's Day. we went to Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant. thought it's some big shot because the last time i passed by there i saw a very long queue. turns out just normal, similar food items like the Hong Kong cafe at Kovan as well as Chit Chat cafe in Chinatown. but more ex.
fri 18th went to Vivocity again, cuz on sun the salesperson in Giant told us tt the promotion for suitcases will come on Fri. so i went with my mom. we had dinner at Food Republic, my fav eating place in Vivocity. Last time went to Vivo to watch Spiderman i ordered a dao xiao mian, $5, very big portion, i felt v guilty for not being able to finish it, so this time i wanted to eat it again, sharing with my mom. even finishing this was still difficult because we also ordered dim sum. bought suitcases, one small one medium. needed to buy cuz my sis took my small one :( it's mine because i pasted a sticker on it, n i went to HK with it!
sat went to Tanjung Balai, this time by myself. at first didn't feel lonely or what, but felt tt i needed help, esp someone to lead worship. n then at night i realise i have no activity, no one to chat with, cuz Wiky went out with friends without bringing me along. but i watched tv with his family instead. oh yah, i cut my hair there for 20,000Rp! that's about $3.50. cool! i just needed to show the hairdresser a pic in a magazine for what i'm looking for. =) sun Persis, n some Praise pple came in to do Sunday school.
21st may mon i forgot abt the Gen12ii commissioning thing until Andrielle smsed me. so after work i headed to Faith Methodist church to attend it. saw a lot of NYP Campus Crusade friends. n a lot of my church pple, esp M'kkadesh. then i realise it's Amber's graduation ceremony, which is why they're there. quite impressed that the worship leader seems like a young girl, n then i feel like my church youths are old (i'm not! hehe). felt tt this time the commissioning service is not...the same. the emphasis is not very much on the mission trippers, but rather on the graduates. dunno la. after tt i went for supper with my church friends. a little hungry n tempted to eat a lot, like Gene's fried bee hoon and fried chicken wingsssss (sobbbb...) but i have to control because it's late! i'd get indigestion for bullying my stomach! oh it's also my sister's birthday tt day, but she's away in a resort... no one to chat with me on msn boohoo so bored at work.
23rd wed.. Amos' birthday celebration. dress code is a long sleeve shirt inside a short sleeve shirt. weather damn hot to wear like tt! haha.. only put on the outer wear when i reached. can't pronounce n can't rem the name of the restaurant. i only know it's in Sixth Ave Centre. been searching online for directions to get there.

:: pain in obedience ::
that's basically what i learnt during service today.
ok let me start from thurs. went to Kbox with my cell pple. it was fun la, but i didn't really enjoy myself. felt like we're not allowed to sing chinese songs, cuz joshua kept shouting "eject (the song)!" whenever it's a chi song. the rest of them were just laughing along la, like they dun mind it.
fri
i was so clumsy i spilled the packet of tea i bought for breakfast. ended up mobilising my colleagues to clean up with me, since my boss was not around. haha. cuz my indian colleague always complain abt the dust in office tt makes her sick, n she kept saying "one day we should clean up the office", so y not make it today. heh. swept n mopped the floor.
then i started eating my breakfast. since i had late breakfast i decided to skip lunch. got hungry around 4+pm, but wondered if i shld go n buy some food. it was going to be dinner time soon lor. then i called my dad n he drove me to hougang for dinner. bought a top there for $9 (i wore it on sunday) =P also bought the primary sch shoes tt was in trend a while ago. will design something on it when i have time haha.
watched the Sinking of Japan. crappy. there was so much volcanic activity tt there was dust n ashes falling from the sky n yet the pple, the Japanese of all pple, didn't wear masks or try to cover their noses n mouths! so much volcanic activity tt the air shld have been very very acidic! think the pple's skin shld burn man! not v realistic lor.
sat
had breakfast with my mom. went back n started making the Psalmist ministry leaders' appreciation notes. didn't manage to finish them but i had to go for lunch with my cell grp already. i left some materials at home - argh.
skipped lunch cuz i had a late breakfast again. then we had a time of sharing n prayer. felt tt all of us are struggling, n since reading the email abt persecution in Turkey, i prayed tt we will not pray for no struggles, but that thru struggles we will come out stronger.
played Boggle for games n then some Wet Head thing. had a discussion for cell evangelistic event. i hope to invite ting, judy, swee yi, amanda...to get to know my cell grp friends. they're part of my life as u guys are, so y not get to know the pple i've been blogging abt?
after tt went to find wenzheng n a few others to compile the leaders' appreciation notes. i thought i was the last one to finish it, but phew i wasn't! hee.. we were at SAJS canteen, but it was getting dark n we had no access to the lights so we moved to Mac's.
after we finished it i went to the coffeeshop opp indian temple with guorong n vincent. we started talking abt work, n then worship conference, n guorong shared what he had felt abt WC last yr. i guess it was a bad experience for both of us. there was supposedly no high expectations of the projection thingy, but actually there was. we agreed tt it had sapped a lot of our energy. n i declared tt i'm not going to do any video editing anymore.
sun
in a bad mood. was thinking abt the birthday celebration thing early in the morning n i really felt like cancelling the whole thing. just dun feel like celebrating anymore.
got to church late for the 9am teaching. went in halfway n Zane was sharing abt Mary as a woman, wife, mother. n yup the main lesson is, there's pain in obedience.
terry led worship. lotsa new songs to me. halfway thru one of the songs i started tearing, cuz i felt very upset. was thinking abt the morning greeting. u know when the chairperson announces, "let's greet one another..." anyway. i know it's human nature to be biased towards certain pple, but it's certainly human nature to feel upset to see pple being biased to other pple in front of u. at first my reaction to it was "?", but when i kept thinking abt it i felt more n more terrible.
offertory item was a very grand tamborine, streamers, flags dance. they're gonna do it for Global Day Of Prayer (GDOP). =)
after service i had a short discussion on tj balai trip with suzanne, elena n gail. really need a lot of wisdom.
also talked to faith abt bday celebration thingy. actually though i wanted to cancel it, the thing is, my focus shld be treating my cell grp to a party for being with me for so many yrs. not cancelling it just because i think i'm not worth celebrating for. argh. think i'm still going ahead with it n i'll go ahead with chocolate cake.
went for lunch with cell grp at the chicken rice stall again.. still in a bad mood but my cell grp doesn't deserve me throwing tantrums at them la.
went to boon keng to meet gail again, to join her discussion with her friend abt her Tibet mission trip. learn quite a lot abt planning. prayer is really really impt. i need to revive my prayer life. really guilty for not praying abt my cell grp evangelistic event. i was very sleepy during the discussion but good thing is i'm just sitting in.
then i went to gail's hse to chill out for a while before going to dhoby ghaut to find my dad for dinner.
this is only the start of the new week, i really shldn't feel so defeated! i think it's just PMS la. =(
ok let me start from thurs. went to Kbox with my cell pple. it was fun la, but i didn't really enjoy myself. felt like we're not allowed to sing chinese songs, cuz joshua kept shouting "eject (the song)!" whenever it's a chi song. the rest of them were just laughing along la, like they dun mind it.
fri
i was so clumsy i spilled the packet of tea i bought for breakfast. ended up mobilising my colleagues to clean up with me, since my boss was not around. haha. cuz my indian colleague always complain abt the dust in office tt makes her sick, n she kept saying "one day we should clean up the office", so y not make it today. heh. swept n mopped the floor.
then i started eating my breakfast. since i had late breakfast i decided to skip lunch. got hungry around 4+pm, but wondered if i shld go n buy some food. it was going to be dinner time soon lor. then i called my dad n he drove me to hougang for dinner. bought a top there for $9 (i wore it on sunday) =P also bought the primary sch shoes tt was in trend a while ago. will design something on it when i have time haha.
watched the Sinking of Japan. crappy. there was so much volcanic activity tt there was dust n ashes falling from the sky n yet the pple, the Japanese of all pple, didn't wear masks or try to cover their noses n mouths! so much volcanic activity tt the air shld have been very very acidic! think the pple's skin shld burn man! not v realistic lor.
sat
had breakfast with my mom. went back n started making the Psalmist ministry leaders' appreciation notes. didn't manage to finish them but i had to go for lunch with my cell grp already. i left some materials at home - argh.
skipped lunch cuz i had a late breakfast again. then we had a time of sharing n prayer. felt tt all of us are struggling, n since reading the email abt persecution in Turkey, i prayed tt we will not pray for no struggles, but that thru struggles we will come out stronger.
played Boggle for games n then some Wet Head thing. had a discussion for cell evangelistic event. i hope to invite ting, judy, swee yi, amanda...to get to know my cell grp friends. they're part of my life as u guys are, so y not get to know the pple i've been blogging abt?
after tt went to find wenzheng n a few others to compile the leaders' appreciation notes. i thought i was the last one to finish it, but phew i wasn't! hee.. we were at SAJS canteen, but it was getting dark n we had no access to the lights so we moved to Mac's.
after we finished it i went to the coffeeshop opp indian temple with guorong n vincent. we started talking abt work, n then worship conference, n guorong shared what he had felt abt WC last yr. i guess it was a bad experience for both of us. there was supposedly no high expectations of the projection thingy, but actually there was. we agreed tt it had sapped a lot of our energy. n i declared tt i'm not going to do any video editing anymore.
sun
in a bad mood. was thinking abt the birthday celebration thing early in the morning n i really felt like cancelling the whole thing. just dun feel like celebrating anymore.
got to church late for the 9am teaching. went in halfway n Zane was sharing abt Mary as a woman, wife, mother. n yup the main lesson is, there's pain in obedience.
terry led worship. lotsa new songs to me. halfway thru one of the songs i started tearing, cuz i felt very upset. was thinking abt the morning greeting. u know when the chairperson announces, "let's greet one another..." anyway. i know it's human nature to be biased towards certain pple, but it's certainly human nature to feel upset to see pple being biased to other pple in front of u. at first my reaction to it was "?", but when i kept thinking abt it i felt more n more terrible.
offertory item was a very grand tamborine, streamers, flags dance. they're gonna do it for Global Day Of Prayer (GDOP). =)
after service i had a short discussion on tj balai trip with suzanne, elena n gail. really need a lot of wisdom.
also talked to faith abt bday celebration thingy. actually though i wanted to cancel it, the thing is, my focus shld be treating my cell grp to a party for being with me for so many yrs. not cancelling it just because i think i'm not worth celebrating for. argh. think i'm still going ahead with it n i'll go ahead with chocolate cake.

:: happening weekend ::
haha yeah let me continue from monday. after work i rushed to Novena cuz my dad was going to pick me up to go for Canon Benson's farewell dinner. i was quite sian cuz my mom was there - i mean my dad drives a motorbike. so it's either her or me. i saw Agape pple at burger king so i thought i have company, and i told my parents i would join them, they could go ahead. but dunno y they very antisocial leh. just ignored me. only vincent bothered to talk to me - for a while. =(
at the dinner i was still very sian, cuz i was sitting with my parents and their cell grp. felt very very very awkward - n bored. i wished i was at the bbq instead. my parents cell grp got a doctor, who would tell them tt they're getting old, not suppposed to eat too much of this or that... but pple r just naughty la. the more u dun allow them to eat something they just want to. quite amused by tt la. the food was good. but there was a dish with just deep fried oil. =x
almost near the end of the dinner i had to go, with ruth, clifton, noah, hannah n huiting, to MCG bbq at ECP. it was quiet, not like the fun n noisy bbq i'm used to. at first i was worried tt they couldn't finish the food, but when we reached, the portion left was ok. sarah warmed and cooked the food for us.. =) the food was actually ordered online n delivery requested. so impressive!
after eating sarah gave out some stuff and asked if we're interested in doing a study on missions. so exciting! this stuff is taken from www.dci.org.uk, it's called All the School of Missions Lessons. there are 6 topics on missions, which i suppose covers all theory aspects of it. it's like attending YWAM courses, but free! totally free for download and encourages pple to pass it on.
after tt persis, gail n i had a discussion on tj balai. then some of them went home. left 6 of us - elisa, hannah, persis, sarah, naomi n me. i went to the beach while hannah and sarah went to shower, persis n naomi went to wash up. elisa joined me. had a good time getting to know her better. =)
around 2am we decided to go to sleep. at first i couldn't fall asleep cuz of the hard ground, which shouldn't have been a problem. *shrugs* then around 6am elisa shook me up n shouted, "go! go! go inside the tent!" then i realise it had started raining!! haha.. so all 6 of us squeezed inside. it poured very heavily. and it got quite stuffy inside the tent. n i wanted to pee. =x then someone came up with the suggestion of moving to elisa's car and go to Mac's. there were 2 umbrellas, so we took turns to fetch things and pple to the car.
we had breakfast at mac. i really v long nv eat at Mac's already. they have this new Bagel with omelette. comes with onions and tomato! =( other than that it was just ok only. after tt i got a lift from elisa to suntec, where i took bus 133 to church. was about an hour early, so i thought of taking a nap. chris came and asked if i want to go to the office. although i was tired i couldn't fall asleep leh. then shirley came and showed me her 99 baht CK sunglasses. woohoo~
then we moved off to the main hall to pack the stuff, including the chord sheets. woah. i hadn't expected that. thought it would be like last time kind of QD. i got a bad back ache from packing the stuff. mainly removing the contents from the Glimpse of Heaven goodie bags and rearranging chordsheets. after tt we went to Kovan for lunch. went to the HK cha chan teng. i was complaining abt the price. instant noodles.... at $6.90, i can cook them myself! iced milk tea for $2.90?! in the end the money was more worth it when we got to move indoors to the aircon and cushioned seats. haha
after lunch we walked around Heartland Mall. i wasn't in a shopping mood. not when i haven't been home and haven't bathed for more than 24 hrs, having a back ache and still carrying a heavy bag. i was actually wishing the guys would help me with it. hee.
talking abt shopping, suddenly i remembered i missed out on sunday's lunch and shopping with my cell grp. so i'll slot this in here. we went to Marina Sq. had lunch at the food court and then shop around. my sis had asked for a charm bracelet so i thought of getting it for her since i'll be seeing her soon. got a good buy. =) then diana actually wanted to get birthday presents for her friends. so i shun bian look around also lor. i really can't stand clothes tt cost 3-digits man. esp those tt i feel i can even make them myself!!!! ... then we went to the bowling alley to find the guys. i didn't bowl. was too sleepy.
ok back to yesterday. after walking around heartland mall i decided to go home. cuz i just realise i was supposed to be at jueru's bday party at 5pm! n it was going to 3pm already. when i got home i charged my phone, set alarm clocks n took a nap. then when my phone was charged i switched it on n jueru called! oops! late! took a quick shower n went out. went to sengkang to shop for a present for her. took quite long at that. then when i reached her place it was 7.30pm already. she had cut her cake already. i was quite blur to see new faces. i only recognise amanda, n her family. her nephew, half ang-moh is so cute!! he calls jueru "yi-yi".
after eating a bit i went into her room with amanda to chill out n catch up with each other. there was another pretty girl with us. then i left with the pretty girl at around 9+pm. haiya, i always start to feel insecure around girls who dress up, or watch a beauty pageant, etc. i would feel like i need to buck up. but i know very well tt i'm called to NOT be like them. my money is not to be spent on clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes... which many girls go after. ahhh... sometimes when i spend long enough time with girls like tt i tend to feel tempted to be like them.
very tiring long weekend.
today back at work my client called and complained to me abt my colleague again. from her perspective i can see tt my colleague is a very irresponsible person, especially with words. what he typed in an email to her actually got to her GM, and careless words could very easily get her into trouble! but after i told juliana abt this, she made me see things from another perspective. perhaps he was acting under instructions of my boss. i dun want to say anymore.

:: week ::
last sat was Youth Bazaar.. i took alot of things out to sell, so much that linfeng calls it "half of chatuchak". hahaha.. really lots of rubbish at home. i can't believe tt my dad actually scolded me for wanting to bring all tt to church, cuz i was asking him to drive me there. just dun understand y he got so worked up over it. so i just kept quiet n let him scold lor. n then he wanted me to bring more stuff. unbelievable right?
i realise tt 3 hours was too short for me to display all my items for sale :( haha.. n camp comm was going around "selling" games. i was too concerned abt selling my own stuff (too much n i dun wanna bring all tt home) tt i didn't even buy a cookie from camp comm! so selfish!
after tt i had worship prac. i was v tired from carrying all my stuff.. so really appreciate linfeng for helping me carry them home. (my cell grp guys were "condemning" me for not even treating him a drink! haha) the sound girls bought bubble tea for us during worship prac.. so nice of them =)
22 apr
led a song for worship, then after service 2 pple came up to me n told me my singing improved.. wahh for a moment i was on cloud nine. the praises just hang around my head like a halo. then i quickly "slapped" myself to come back to earth.
after service we had lunch at zion rd riverside food centre.. haha i took aloysius' car and made a bit of a detour.. cuz i only remember the way there thru a certain route. =x after tt went home to slp.
then mon to fri nothing much la, everyday after work go home watch tv, eat Indomie lor.
thurs more special only. got client come, n they brought Coffee Bean muffins for us. weee~ they came around 10am, so i had the muffin for lunch. yay dun need to go for lunch with my colleague =x but i still went out for a walk during lunchtime. ended up feeding mosquitoes. i prayed, "God i only wanted to take a break during my lunchtime, please don't let me get dengue fever because of that." i was a bit worried cuz the bites were quite bad.
then after work i was intending to go home watch tv, i was even planning to buy bee hoon from the food court near my place. just then, on the mrt, i was scrolling thru my smses, cuz i sent Andrielle an sms in the morning, then i realise i haven't read her reply. n then i scrolled down some more n suddenly remembered tt i was supposed to be at bishan tt day! n just then i received a call, it was jac, asking me where i am.. then i quickly alighted at serangoon. somehow serangoon is near bishan la. n i'm sure i can reach bishan quite quickly, just not sure how. so i anyhow walk to a bus stop. hmm.. bus 58 goes to pasir ris...from bishan! so i have to get to the opposite. there were 2 bus stops opp. so i decided to go to the one further down, but when i reached there, there's no bus 58! so i walked back 1 bus stop. sigh.
some of my cell grp pple were at the S11 having dinner. i was late already, so i thought, when we walk back to bishan J8 then i go n withdraw money. but in the end we didn't take tt way. some of them drove, n they parked behind S11. haha. i ate wanton mee.. wow, i like the noodles. handmade. the qiu lian ban mian also famous there. after dinner we went to andrew's father's wake. andrew was in el shaddai, but tt was many yrs ago, before he went to australia. anyway my cell grp + shirley bong found a corner and we just had our own chitchat. talked abt school uniforms, Kings in the bible, err.. and a lot of random stuff. haha.. =x
28 apr sat
parents went to tj balai. yay, whole hse to myself. haha. shared word during cell. i was actually not nervous before cell started, but it's prob because i didn't even think abt it. so during word i was quite lost in thought at times. i realise tt the word doesn't have a main theme, but rather a few aspects of the story of King Hezekiah which individuals can find something in common, to relate to their lives.
half the cell had worship prac.. haha.. when worship prac ended, my dinner time also ended. =x but i still went with some of them to bishan S11 for dinner. at this time most of the stalls close already. i ordered the ban mian n shared it with tricia, jeremy n aloysius! wah really made the money worth. =D after dinner malcolm gave me a lift home. he was driving cuz his parents went to tj balai too.
sun
couldn't wake up earlier for breakfast. hmm.. i always compromise breakfast for longer sleep. haha. grabbed a bite from the bakery at the Mrt station though. i was actually counting the cost la. in quite a bit of a financial difficulty now. can't afford to spend $6 on breakfast. i also got to forgo some comforts.
just before service started, vincent said he was nervous. haha i also dunno y.
carol was sharing during the 9am teaching. it was personal as well as encouraging. but i think King Solomon's wisdom mainly comes from God, not his mother ba. but Bathsheba must really be a God-fearing woman that of all the wives of David, that God would choose to use her to carry on the line of kings.
n joseph chean preached abt forgiveness. it's true, tt when u forgive someone, u're not supposed to expect tt person to change, but rather a change of ur own attitude, that u can accept the person as he/she is. i wish ting was there for the sermon.. i hope ur relationship with ur mom can change for the better, for ur own sake, because it's painful emotionally to be at war with someone. even if u think u're ok with it, actually somewhere deep inside it's not. there's really a lot of pain involved n i hope tt u can break free of it. then i myself prayed tt i will forgive my mom. cuz i was thinking, y should i celebrate mother's day for her?! so after hearing the message, i realise tt even if she doesn't deserve my appreciation, i should still show her love because God first loves. i am forgiven, so i also ought to forgive. there should not be any outstanding debt, except the continuing "debt" of love. we're not called to love only those who are lovable. tt's what sets the difference between a Christian n a non-Christian. of cuz non-Christians also can love if they want to, but what i'm saying is, Christians ought to do better at that.
btw.. now is 12am. haha. my parents are back from balai. n after work i'm going for Canon Benson's farewell dinner. n after that i'm going for MCG bbq, staying overnight, n then going for Psalmist quarterly discipleship, n then.... Jueru's bday party. =)
i realise tt 3 hours was too short for me to display all my items for sale :( haha.. n camp comm was going around "selling" games. i was too concerned abt selling my own stuff (too much n i dun wanna bring all tt home) tt i didn't even buy a cookie from camp comm! so selfish!

:: what's the world coming to ::
last week i forgot to mention anything abt the shooting that shook the world.
just felt tt the media is giving the killer too much attention. they're digging into his past and realising tt they shld have noticed something wrong n done something abt it. i just thought tt it would make pple like him crave the attention he got, n do similar actions to get the same world-shaking effect.
probably i was potentially someone like that, tt's y i "know" what pple like him think. hmm.. did i ever mention before tt i used to have depression, because i wanted to seek attention?
i used to hurt myself with sharp objects - wanted to just pierce it thru my skin, but i was also too scared to do tt. i only tried to rub it against my skin till it turned red. tt was when i was in sec 3-4. i remember talking to my classmate abt it n realise tt she also did tt before. but i didn't get the attention i wanted la. n i woke up out of it. really have to thank God that i know Him. if i hadn't i would be so lost n very much dead by now.
n when this shooting case got blown up by the media, i expect there would be pple who would do the same thing, because they see an example to follow. indeed within the week there was another shooting case in the news (actually there r shooting cases everyday, but media is particularly concerned abt similar cases. pple see pple do la). my sis showed me the website for phuket online news. i was so shocked to read so many shooting cases! how can anyone live in a place like tt? they own guns so easily.
Say Mr A gets a gun for self-defence, in case he meets an armed robber, he can retaliate with his own gun. The robber sure will shoot him because he is armed. compared to if he doesn't retaliate by taking out his gun, the robber would just use his gun to scare him. and then Mr B, who lives next door to Mr A, and they go drinking together often. wouldn't Mr B want to own a gun too, in case Mr A uses his gun on him (which depends on how much trust there is between them). n one day both of them got drunk n got into a heated argument. Mr A has a gun, it's his tool of Power. and with the gun, Mr B will be scared n give in. if Mr B doesn't, just shoot him la! where's the moral ethics?
if i have a say in gun control, i would ban guns from citizens. only the army n police officers can own them. there will not be any firearms shop open to public. dun care if citizens feel unsafe n just want to own guns for "self-defence". rubbish. weaponless is the best self-defence. it doesn't provoke the person threatening u, as much as having a weapon.
just something to think about, if not for God's grace would u still be alive? what r u doing abt it? still living as if ur life doesn't lie in God's hands? shouldn't there be a deep sense of gratitude to God for every new day u're alive? don't u realise tt God can just decide to let u die when u crack ur neck too hard? or slip and fall and hit a sharp edge? or let something heavy drop on u? i know very well tt my life is preserved thus far for a purpose, which is yet fulfilled, but i know tt even still, God can change his mind. who am i to say tt i will surely live tomorrow?
just felt tt the media is giving the killer too much attention. they're digging into his past and realising tt they shld have noticed something wrong n done something abt it. i just thought tt it would make pple like him crave the attention he got, n do similar actions to get the same world-shaking effect.
probably i was potentially someone like that, tt's y i "know" what pple like him think. hmm.. did i ever mention before tt i used to have depression, because i wanted to seek attention?
i used to hurt myself with sharp objects - wanted to just pierce it thru my skin, but i was also too scared to do tt. i only tried to rub it against my skin till it turned red. tt was when i was in sec 3-4. i remember talking to my classmate abt it n realise tt she also did tt before. but i didn't get the attention i wanted la. n i woke up out of it. really have to thank God that i know Him. if i hadn't i would be so lost n very much dead by now.

asked my dad if i could go bangkok. he said ok, like it's no big deal. wahahahaha
after work took a Big Walk again, this time cut across River Valley Rd to Orchard Rd, =D to find my dad. took about 1 hr plus. was a bit lost after i passed Great World City actually, but i decided to take a familiar route, then i found Paterson Hill. walk downwards more is Borders already. then my dad brought me to Hougang (Serangoon North Ave 7) to eat dinner.
wed
nothing much also. went back home straight. booked my air ticket to bangkok thru shirley! =D
thur
oh i was pissed when i reached office n checked my email. the client, who previously wanted me to do a last minute miracle for her, expects one again. i firmly but politely replied that i cannot do it. she replied rather understandingly, so thank God. i've learnt not to promise things tt i cannot carry out.
my sis booked her ticket to bangkok!
after work went back home straight.
fri
very busy today, no time to slack. got one client called n complained to me abt my colleague. then i realise tt indeed he has a bit of attitude problem when dealing with clients. i only know tt i can't stand the way he walks. n whines. n i was carrying a bag of stuff to be recycled, my other colleague was carrying a stack of newspapers for me, n he didn't even bother to OFFER any help!! tt's really disgusting!
after work went to Pearl Centre, cuz afternoon during lunch i went there and found a few new shops. oh there's bubble tea shop in pearl centre again! wee! n downstairs in the basement there's a so-called Ladies Market. when i went down i was frowning. such a great contrast to the one in HK! this one so dull n out of business. still new n no life. n stinks too. very badly ventilated.
took bus to orchard, to find my dad again. this time he brought me to toa payoh to eat. although toa payoh is also an old town centre, it doesn't give me the 'home' kinda feeling.

:: oops ::
today busy at work. lots to do.
was a little pek cek by a client. i was doing an enewsletter design for him, did it in html initially. then it was converted to pdf so that each page will be printed nicely with a header and a footer. just today he came back from a mission trip ma, then he wanted me to change it to html again! wah pek cek lor. i asked Val, our middleman, to confirm if i were to do it in html, because it would mean a lot of effort. i decided not to do it until val gets back to me. so i did other stuff. around 5pm, this client got back to me again, asking abt the progress, then i clarified with him that the pdf is a better option than html.. he went to check, because i think he just realised tt it was actually done correctly, but he was confused abt the html/pdf thing. and at the end it was happy ending. thank God! because i didn't waste effort converting it to html, which would waste my effort of doing it in pdf. err.. confused?
then after work pramila shared with me tt last week she received news tt her cousin got into an accident n passed away. then i realised y she had sorta raised her voice into the phone last week n seemed to cry. i thought i had given her too much pressure at work. that day was her birthday actually. so terrible of me.
hmm.. oh yah in the last update i forgot to mention tt i asked natalie out last monday. supposed to ask her out the monday before, when she just started work, to celebrate. she's my junior from the same specialisation n she's got a job! woohoo! asked her out to vivocity. haiya dunno y her dad still so strict with her la, 20 yrs old already still have to ask him for permission to go out for dinner with me, n must reach home before 9 somemore. we had dinner at 2Hot cafe, halal restaurant with spicy food. i ordered marinara, which i didn't like very much. The Nearby Cafe was better, more liao. cheaper also. then we shared a drink at Boost Juice Bars. the king william chocolate not very nice leh. expensive also.
then we walked inside Tangs.. there is a... corner (i forgot the word for it), displaying some interesting stuff like tt of G.O.D. in HK. like making old things look fashionable. we walked until 8+pm n she would be late to go home. she wanted to take cab, but i felt tt mrt is faster n cheaper. there was also a queue for the taxi. so seriously taking mrt is a better idea.
ok back to today, i felt quite joyful after spending the weekend in balai. felt very blessed. n felt tt my perspective has broadened again. as in, i become so narrow-minded tt i felt very unhappy easily. but now i'm reminded tt problems aren't too big for me to worry abt. n i miss my friends there... haha just have a longing to go back to find them again. miss Frenky too, after hearing tt Wiky went to batam to look for him n i saw his recent picture, he looks educated (wearing specs) n so much like his mother!
