:: National Day stayover ::
my butt is aching.. sooo tired after a day out with my triplets and friends. haha.. my triplets are Faith and Junren, and my friends are Rj and Alvin.
wed was public holiday eve. a client asked me to stay back to upload some stuff on their website. i was sort of a middle person, because i had to pass the files to someone else to upload. and i had to wait till the person upload the files on the website before my client allowed me to leave =x haiz~ the guy seemed to have left his office earlier, so i could not reach him, so i had to inform the client tt there's no point in me staying to check the website since the guy had left. c'mon, it's public holiday eve! some companies would give their staff a half day off okay!
after work i went to Burlington Sq to meet my triplets. haa.. went to buy a pirated Sony Ericsson earpiece converter - to connect to a normal earphones plug. ****** SonyE to come up with UNIQUE products and peripherals. i had to buy a bigger memory card since i'm using the phone as a mp3 player as well. and then i can keep the thai phone at home till my sis comes to collect it back. but i didn't get the card though. didn't know it costs so much. grrr...
went up to junren's apartment and slack. chatted with him on msn and played msn games. haha yeah i know, we could just talk face to face ya. faith was playing an online game. started to get hungry around 9+pm, so we went for supper. Rochor beancurd was just a few minutes walk away. =P after we came back i went to take a shower. Alvin arrived. he brought dvds along, and i watched 300, the movie. couldn't quit laughing at the drag queen in the movie, Xerxes. haha.. didn't really catch the dialogue most of the time. had to ask Alvin what they were saying, since he's watched it 5 times! Jr's place has become a Lan shop. lol. he, alvin and faith were all playing online games.
then Rj arrived past midnight. he was quite tired, so he went to sleep. can't rem what we did, but faith and i went to sleep around 3am. haa.. chatted till we fell asleep. woke up around 9+am.. i gained an extra left eyelid these few days and felt v weird, like i had to force open my eyelids properly, but after blinking it droops down again. argh.. washed up and went out and realise the guys had not been sleeping well. they had to sleep on the sofa cuz they gave us the biggest bed. Jr is a super light sleeper.. both he and Rj woke up when they heard my camera's shutters. and i dunno why Rj was outside in the living room since he went to bed first.
went to buy BK breakfast with Jr. quite an expensive breakfast, since there must be some cheap good breakast around the area. guess we're all quite lazy. wanted to swim here, but procrastinated. haha.. before the stayover faith told me that both of us will go swimming while the guys play their games. and i was quite happy with the plan cuz i'm quite shy to go swimming with guy friends. haha. but she asked the guys to join in. anyway in the end we didn't go la.
we went to ECP to cycle. i rode on a double bike behind Rj. i must say he's good man. though my dad rides a motorbike, it's still more stable than a bicycle. to be able to ride a double bike with confidence is really zai man. i rem the last time i rode a double bike was with Hilwan, at pulau ubin. Weng Heng was also there. we went there for a photography session. really miss those times man. Wan was zai also, since the terrain at pulau ubin was much rougher and tougher.
the bike gave us really bad aching butt...and my whole groin area.. tt i wonder if tt's how it feels when u lose ur first time. *coughs* ... everytime Rj and i overtake the rest and gone too far in front we would stop and wait for them, and i would get off the bike and complain of a badly hurting butt. we had lunch at ECP hawker centre. ordered fried oysters, fried carrot cake, fried kuey tiao, fried hokkien mee and satay. =D thank God for healing me of my sickness that i could eat KFC (with my dad on tue) and all these stuff without having sore throat again. thank God for holding back the rain though it looked like it was going to rain anytime the whole day.
we got to a quieter part of ECP and alvin gave me a bicycle lesson. he was really very encouraging, and i could sense some progress in learning to cycle. i didn't master it yet, because i first have to overcome the lack of confidence. i never learnt much when i was young. i used to be quite proud tt my parents never forced me to take up extra lessons or whatever, when all my classmates were busy with piano lessons, ballet, swimming etc. but now i feel like i've lost out a lot in my childhood. sometimes i feel quite a failure, that so many pple can cycle like it's an easy feat while i can't. haiz.
after 3 hours it was time to return the bikes. then we went out to take bus back to Bugis. we had dinner at Koo Kee ramen & dumpling restaurant. hmm yummm.. had xiaolongbao and ramen. very satisfied. good food the whole time. hehe.. i was super stoned by that time and from dinner to back at the apartment i was just like a zombie. watched part of the National Day Parade on tv and waited for the fireworks. tried to catch it outside the window, but the view was blocked by other buildings. went home after that. Rj also left since he has school the next day. so only Faith and alvin stayed at Jr's place for another day. felt a bit cheated but i shan't say more.
took train from Little India station. thank God that i could have a seat though i was expecting a super crowded train after the NDP. my butt hurts esp when i am about to sit down and get up. =( slept late last night cuz i was busy transferring my contacts from my old phone to new phone. sooo tired.
these few days i'm shifting office from Kampong Bahru Rd to Hong Lim Complex. should have lotsa good food there, but it's further from Vivocity now. awww...

:: invisible target & girl talk ::
went to watch a movie "Invisible Target" yesterday, by myself hoho~
i didn't like to watch movie by myself.. i've missed A LOT of movies that i had badly wanted to watch because i'd rather have company. i was surprised tt weiting watches movies by herself and doesn't seem bothered about it. so i've finally decided and told myself to just heck it and watch it myself.
boy i am sooo happy to have caught this movie. it's a HK movie directed by Benny Chan, starring Jaycee (Jackie Chan's son), Shawn Yue and Nicholas Tse (earning milk powder money)!! haha.. i like to catch HK shows with cute guys. but i realise it's not easy finding someone who shares common interest. =D
IT'S A GREAT MOVIE!! enjoy it totally. got some funny dialogues, fighting scenes just when i expected them (i'm serious!), and jaycee looks more n more like his daddy! esp when he tries to fight. haha.. there is a good ending too. not very happy, but at least my fav guys r alive. =P
i know very little abt shawn yue, but i have always been fascinated by how much he looks like nicholas tse. haha.. and nic's baby is born! really hope he'll continue to be a good husband and daddy.
i dun think i'll buy the vcd when it comes out, because it's not like in another language where i have to watch it again to catch the joke/story. but i'll be anticipating its tv premier. =)

:: Split Second ::
i'm so disappointed in last night's ending of Split Second - HK drama on Channel U at 10pm!!!
ALL the main characters died!!!
very interesting twist to the usual happy endings.. i would say it's very bold of the script writer to try this style. and i appreciate the HK-Thai ties for this drama.. i wonder if the director is HK or Thai. u gotta tell the actors from both countries to coordinate. i would say it's marvellous.
and i realise the Thai main actor is also the lead actor from Bangkok Robbery. Somehow halfway thru the drama it occurred to me that they are the same person, then i took out my VCD and compared the actor's name. haha.. he looks much younger and better in Split Second.
and haha i like the show mainly because of the guys in it. =P i got really sian when they all died! Esp Sam, the Thai actor, he died because he refused to go hospital after he was shot. he went to buy flowers for the girl he liked and died bleeding. Dong also, he could have gone to hospital after getting shot (by the same guy - argh!), but he insisted on going to find his girl. and then it ended. =( !!!
i'm a sucker for happy endings!!

:: troubled ::
i just went out for a walk during my lunch break, and came back feeling quite troubled. haha..
went to Spottiswoode... there were benches in front of a playground, but i didn't stop there, because there were grasscutters trimming the grass there. it was quite noisy as well as dangerous to be near them.
so i walked on... saw a few women smoking. they look like prostitutes who frequent the pubs & bars around my workplace.
and i walked on.. trying to find somewhere to rest. then i saw an old woman who kept staring at me. i stared back, wondering what she's thinking abt. something in my mind told me to go over and sit beside her and say hi. but i walked past thru another path, under a HDB block. sat down for a while near a basketball court. felt rather peaceful, enough to fall asleep. but i was concerned abt the ants around me. so i got up, deciding that i would go over to the old woman and say hi.
she had got up to find somewhere else to go, so i walked past her, half smiling to her. i went to near where she had sat and near the prostitutes. the old woman looked like she was looking for something under a block. i saw a cat on the path i came from (u can imagine me walking back and forth the same path) and went to play with it. it was kinda scared of me so i didn't get to play with it. i just kept looking at it until i realise the old woman was looking at me. she had found another spot to sit. so i nodded to her as a greeting. she seemed happy and tried to tell me something, so i walked nearer to her.
she started talking to me in Hokkien. honestly the whole conversation i probably understood only 10%! and she kept touching my arm to get my attention whenever i look away. =x halfway through i suddenly wondered whether this was a dream or not. i believe God is in control la huh. she was trying to tell me abt her zha bor kia, ta bor kia, ang, etc... i think her daughter lives on the 11th floor of the block and she has the keys to the 3-room flat but doesn't want to go in. and she told me abt taking taxi and taking bus. she doesn't know how to take the Choa Chu Kang LRT.. while talking she also grabbed my upper arm and asked me why it's so cold, is it because i bathe in cold water. she asked do i live in blk 106, i struggled to explain in Hokkien that i work in an office. she even started to dust my tshirt... felt a bit awkward. that's abt all i understand. then when she mentioned "gao deng" (church) and "bai xin" (pray to idol) i told her i "xin ya so" (believe in Jesus). dunno what she was trying to say, like telling me it's not good. =x
then she asked me whether i eat already, i said not yet, and she urged me to go and eat. so i went back to office, feeling like i was Alice in Wonderland. haha..
another disturbing thing was, i saw a trail of blood around my workplace. okay, if u dunno where i work, it's one of the shophouses facing the road. there got LOTS of pubs and it's not very safe to stay late at work. i followed the blood trail from one end of the row of shophouses to the other. quite scary.. as if someone was running for his life. it wasn't a lot of blood, but it made me wonder what happened last night. was there a fight?
hmmm... i kinda wish some nice guy out there would read my blog and decide that my workplace is too dangerous for me to go home alone... hee...

S.Korean Hostage Crisis: New deadline 3.30pm today
The Taliban killed 1 more hostage. Assholes. Imagine their frustration if we just don't care about the pple they've held hostage. They won't be able to get what they want. But this can never happen. If it does, humanity is in trouble.
Our weakness is that we cannot fight back because of the lives of the hostages, we may have to give in eventually (dunno what the government is planning). But in our weakness God's strength is found. God will make a way for the pple He loves and are persecuted.
Here in Singapore life still goes on for most of us. Who would get down on their knees and pray for the Koreans? Who would fast for them? I'm troubled but I haven't been praying much. Let's call each other up to pray for these brothers and sisters.

A steamboat buffet place. i didn't really have much appetite but i could still eat la. got home and felt like singing the Doxology. dunno y but thank God that the moment i got home my throat seemed to clear and i was able to sing. but at night i felt feverish, unable to sleep. felt terrible, like going to die. was quite worried that it might be dengue. kept waking up to go toilet.

:: Worship 07 ::
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.

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.
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

:: 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. 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.
