time time time

CHRISTMAS HAS JUST ENDED! im sorry i didn't blog on christmas though it's such a happy occasion. i reached home late yesterday because i went to my auntie's house to have dinner. we had steambot for dinner which we had not ate in a long while. the reason i stayed till 12 plus was because i stayed there to watch peter pan. though i watched it once, i wanted to watch it again. so i reached home at about 1.

besides having such a wonderful dinner, the entire day was wasted on NOTHING! i cant believe i wasted an entire day not doing work.

GERALD GO DO YOUR WORK! THERE IS ONLY 7 MORE DAYS TILL THE REOPENING OF SCHOOL!

today, i plainly stayed at home and basically packed my room a little. however, i think it still looked the same to me. guessed i wasted my time again. then again, how can people waste time when time is always there 24 hours, wasted or not. also how can people find time when it's always there too. if they found it, where did they looked? WEIRD!

STOP WASTING TIME!

daddy, thank you for allowing your son to come to earth where because of this we can celebrate christmas. i want to pray for my fwens that they too, have enjoyed themselves and feel comfortable. i pray that you will allow me to use my time wisely. amen.

chrismas eve

IT'S CHRITMAS EVE!!!

i have been shopping these few days, though i shopped and shopped, i still cant find suitable gifts. also, i hate budgets, there is not enough money for me to buy all my gifts. why is everything so expensive?

friday, i helped out in the home with yingxuan again. it was back to sweeping, mopping and cleaning up the toilets and bathroom. following that, i went with nelson to swim which was enjoyable because i swam a few laps. hopefully i can gain some muscles. both of us went to republic polytechnic to watch hoiting's concert where the finale song was entertaining. the day was brought to a close when jiaying, nelson and their fwens and me went to long john silver to have supper.

on saturday, there was nothing much so i stayed at home. i had my lunch before going church. the service was about christmas where the pastor preached about the joy of giving, not to hold grudges. after church, i went to junction 8 to shop with my family. i did not know what to buy and so i bought nothing. so i left for home empty-handed.

yesterday, was also shopping. i went with my mother and sister to chinatown where we went to og. but again i did not know what to get. they went back with their hands full but i went home with 2 free hands.

I BETTER START ON MY HOMEWORK SOON!!! I'M GOING TO BE SO DEAD!!!

daddy, thank you for all the surprises each day has brought. i pray that i will be able have the joy of giving my fwens their christmas presents. i hope they will be happy with it. amen.

penang

HELLO!!! its been a week since i last blogged. i have recently came back to singapore. for those who do not know, i recently went to penang and just came back. it was a fun experience being able to travel. i love travelling and see new places. however i had to sit on the coach for almost 12 hours to reach, to and fro. it was quite boring but thankfully it was at night where i can just sleep on it.

i went to some tourists' attractions which include temples, butterfly farm, spice garden, penang hill. at the temples, i just looked around taking pictures here and there. i think the butterfly farm was fun though most of the time i was dodging all the butterflys that try to land or fly towards me. the spice garden was boring because there was nothing much to see there except plants which looked half-dead. penang hill was cool, it was like a bird's eye view of the whole place. it's about 800m high and quite cooling.

now im dreading as each day passes, it's like the start of holidays was just yesterday and now in less than 2 weeks, i have to go back to school. i don't want tomorrow to come. i want today to stay as today. im not dreading school but i don't like to do homework. i feel that school will be a very fun place with fwens and everything without homework.

im so behind time with homework. i have to force myself to get back to work. i have only finished maths and chemistry with many more other subjects to go. i love my holidays and i want it to come again. as each second passed, im beginning to feel worse.

today i went shopping with my family at suntec and i got myself a t-shirt and a sandal. after all the shopping, we went to drink a cup of coffee to have a teabreak before going home. i have not bought anything for myself for quite a long while already. i suddenly am addicted to shopping.

daddy, i love these few days that have gone smoothly and fun. thank you for these days that you have blessed me with. amen.

work, work, work

I WANT TO BE OLD! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FORGET SOME STUFF RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW! AMNESIA MAY DO JUST THE TRICK. BUT HOW DOES ONE CONTRACT AMNESIA? THAT'S THE QUESTION!

thankfully, im going to meet my secondary school fwen tomorrow. probably going out may just push all my thoughts out of my mind temporary.

the past 2 days, i have been doing similar thing, so i decided to blog both days together. both days i have been eating lunch with my father, both days doing homework with yingsuan at macdonalds. i am totally bored of homework already. i have not spend 2 days consecutively concentrating on work for so many weeks already. my brain is becoming rusty soon. wonder why my brain is made of metal.

work have been the main activity for both days. probably i should indulge myself in work all day long to prevent me from seeingthe hideous side of people.

daddy, thank you for allowing me to complete some of my work these few days. though some people may have been mean, i pray that you will allow them to change their ways and see the right path to take. help me to see in your perspective that i may not wrong others. amen.

ogl workshop day 3+ birthday+ bugis+ swimming+ saturday studying+ 159 outing+ etc.

woah! i have not blog for almost a week already. im beginning to find blogging such a chore. it's like i have to go online everyday to blog about my day which i feel quite lazy. i will try to force myself to blog more frequently if possible. SORRY TO ALL THE READERS OUT THERE FOR NOT UPDATING FOR QUITE AWHILE!!!

let me start from where i left off. it was ogl workshop day 3 which was on the 5th of december. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! it was time for flag painting where we painted our clan flag which looked beautiful and unique. during lunch, my fellow ogls and staje members sang me a birthday song. im so touched and surprised by their actions. sometimes i really wonder am i really worth remembering, or should i be left alone, singing my own birthday song to myself and just buy myself a gift.

we also learned to dance to borriquito and practised the previous few dances a few times. the rest of the time was spent on the learning of orientation song, games and most importantly forfeits. forfeits are the most important to the games we played. we came up with a few embarassing forfeits which im proud to say that i did not attain it.

after the workshop, brenda, jocelyn, nelson, wanchin and i went to celebrate my birthday at sumo house. we were laughing like mad people who came out from mental hospital. we kept laughing non-stop with nelson going on about his pregnant fishand brenda being pregnant after eating it. jocelyn was some mountain tortoise who did not know how the pregnant fish had eggs inside them. we soon parted our ways after dinner.

i received quite a few presents which really make me happy. i really appreciate the thought that all my fwens put in to buy the presents.

the following day, i met nelson at bugis where he wanted to find some shoe. first we ate at the food court as we were very hungry, then we walked for quite long and far looking for his shoes. we went from bugis junction to bugis street then to og and then back to bugis junction. in the end, we could not find his shoe and decided to give up. we went to his auntie's shop where we both cut our hair. following that, we went to toa payoh central to buy munchy donuts and ate till we were quite full. soon, we decided to go home to have our dinner.

on friday, i had to go to the home to volunteer my services where yingxuan and i washed the chairs, dustbins and hang up the curtains. i feel that washing dustbins are worse than washing toilets, dustbins are much much dirtier than the toilets. after having lunch with her at the food court, i went to meet nelson to go swimming at yio chu kang. it was freezing in the water, even though i swam for awhile, i still felt cold. after an hour of swimming, we went to nyp to eat tea and did our homework there. not completing much but we felt bored, we decided to go back home.

it's saturday, i met wanchin at dhoby ghaut to do homework and watch enchanted which she has been dragging her promise for a few weeks. we did our work at mos burger where we ate our breakfast cum lunch there. we started work soon after finishing eating and i managed to finish 9 chemistry questions before we got chased out by a lady who was working there. at first we did not want to leave, but as we do not want to embarrass ourself again if the lady were to ask us to leave, we decided to leave and do some window shopping.

she's also another mountain tortoise who did not see many things in plaza singapura and cathay, so i decided to be her tour guide and tour her around. we walked till it was time for the movie to start and we went in. we were complaining about the number of things we had to carry when we bought food in, being clumsy and careless. after watching the show, i feel that it was quite entertaining and interesting. though the ending was expected, the storyline was good. so all of you out there who loves fairytale MUST watch!

next, i went to church where the pastor preached about god remembering us. though we may feel that god have forgotten us when we are going through trials or having unanswered prayer, he has promised us that he will never leave us, he cares for us and loves us.

yesterday, i went with my cousin to orchard to shop for present. he made me wait for almost an hour for him which i wasted my time. we then went to takashimaya to eat kfc where we shared a buddy meal and almost could not finish up all the food. next i literally went looking high and low for a present where i went up and down the escalator to find the shop. finally i managed to find it and bought a present for my fwen. next we went to cineleisure where he bought 2 shirts where one design has the word 'happy' and the other 'emo'. i find it quite lame to own these 2 shirts.

next, i went for a badminton game where i played a few games with my cell group members. i had quite a lot of fun there. now my hand is aching and in pain. to think i still can type such a long post.

finally, today, i had to go to the home again where i had to scrub and mop the floor, now my back is also aching. i talked to a few of the residents there and managed to learn more about them.

next, i went to meet fiona at dhoby ghaut where we went to secret recipe to eat a slice of cake. IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY TODAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA! following that we went to the central to window shop and we walked around looking at all the shops, most are not open yet. we then went to chinatown point where fiona bought a few christmas presents. we then walked to og where once again we just looked instead of paying.

we then walked to clarke quay where we took a train then buses to botak jones which was located in toa payoh. managed to surprise fiona when she saw kartik, yingxuan and zhenyang there. she received present from all of us. also to my surprise, they celebrated my birthday there and then. im so totally touched and grateful for these fwens that i have. they bought both of us a mango and oreo cheesecake which were delicious. i shared with fiona a burger meal which in the end we could not finish. to think that kartik said he wanted more fries. we talked till we almost forgot the time to go back. i really love them. 159 rocks!

daddy, thank you for blessing me with such wonderful fwens, fwens who never forget birthdays and treasures our relationship together. i also pray that my friends will have their wish fulfilled and those who are overseas will enjoy themselves. for those with probems, i pray that you would give them wisdom to solve it. also, i pray that you will always be there for me and not leave me alone. amen.

ogl workshop day 2

it's the 2nd day of ogl workshop. im think im totally exhausted from all the screaming and shouting, games and dancing. thankfully, after tomorrow, there will be quite a long break. thinking of homework makes me sick.

i reached school at about 8, just on time. we had games. the games were quite interesting where we were quite enthusiastic about it. this is followed by some cheering session and lunch. today's food's much better than yesterday's but again i did not finish.

after lunch was the first aid workshop which was quite short so it was not too boring. we then design our own clan flag which im in vidar. i will be workin with ester and zhijun whom i don't really know. hope to know more about them tomorrow. the 3 of us designed the flag needed for the orientaation and we were short of creativity and needed to be inspired, going back tomorrow to give more ideas.

next was dancing where we danced to 'that girl' and 'mambo no. 5' which i paired up with cheryl. she was extremely hilarious, i don't know why she keeps laughing so we kept making mistakes here and there.

soon everything was over and it was a much better day than yesterday. hope tomorrow will be better.

ogl workshop day 1

im totally exhausted. think after posting this post im just going to lie on my bed, close my eyes and go to dream world.

today, i had the first day of ogl workshop. i woke up at 6.50 only to find myself early, waiting at the bus-stop for yingxuan. she was like so funny, she followed me to toa payoh station before saying that she's not feeling well and don't feel like going for the workshop. so i went to school on my own, and met wanchin at the foyer where we were the earliest.

we had briefing in the morning before going to our respective room for ice-breaking games. think i managed to remember most of my group members' names. next on the program was cheering session where we cheered our hearts out. soon, we had our lunch and i think i ate only half of the packet of food. after lunch was more cheering followed by games. i think i got bruises here and there caused by hitting the chair. after the games we had a little session on dancing before we could leave.

overall the ogl workshop was alright, having a few fun games but im totally exhausted.

after the ogl workshop, nelson and i went to nyp to eat macdonalds. the shaker fries are back. we both ordered a packet each and began enjoying our food. after dinner, we went to plaza singapura where nelson managed to buy his long-awaited chocolate liquers from marks and spencers. we walked for a while before leaving, finding shopping tiring.

daddy, thank you for the fun and tiring day. thank you for allowing me to enjoy myself, enjoying the company of my fwens. i hope that tomorrow will be fun too. help those in need to get back on their feet to be able to be independent. amen.

happy life

i just received an email today which really encouraged me. it makes me look at the other side of life. for those who are down and out, feeling sad or worried, feel free to read the email.

John is the kind of guy you have to love. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?' He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or... I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.'

'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.' I reflected on what he said.

Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?' I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.' 'Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked. He continued, '...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.'

'What did you do?' I asked. Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'. Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'

He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

'Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matthew6:34. After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

today, i had a wedding lunch to attend. it was my cousin's auntie's wedding and since i know her personally, they invited my family to attend. there was lots of food there and it was quite appetitizing. i ate the usual portion as i did not want to eat too much keeping in mind that i ate supper at 1 last night.

however, i slept from 4 to 7. im seriously going to be a pig real soon. i followed my parents to eat dinner at novena where we ate at the food court and walked a little before going home.

daddy,thank you for the day you have given me. i want to pray that i will choose the positive side of life and that fwens of mine will make it their choice too. amen.

pig

i'm becoming a pig already. i woke up at 10.30 to eat my breakfast. i watched television for a while before going to sleep at 2 all the way till 3. after i woke up, i went to my grandmother house to eat lunch. it's like eating and sleeping the whole day. i hope my habits would hurry change. i don't want to become a pig and grow fat!

after lunch, i had church and the pastor preached on remembering god. it's speak to me because usually when im busy or enjoying myself, i would forget all about him and concentrate only on the work at hand. however, it's when im down and out that i will cast all my problems on him. so i will have to remember him and all his past provisions.

after having dinner at church, i went back home where im blogging now.

daddy, thank you for protecting me throughout the entire day and for the lovely day you have given me. i pray that you will always remain in my mind and never let me forget your goodness. i want to pray for the fwens you have given me that they will all be happy in their own ways. amen.

camp

just came back from dinner with my father and sister. i feel like im becoming a pig already. my whole holidays, it's either sleep or eat. i slept for 3 hours because i came back from a leadership camp.

let me start blogging from yesterday. yesterday, i woke up at 11 even though i slept at 1.30 the previous night. guess it's probably the chalet that tire me out. met yingxuan for luch before going for the camp. we ate at junction 8, eating all the snacks which soon became our lunch.

we met gregory at bishan mrt before going to kuo chuan presbytherian secondary school for the camp. the camp was on christian leadership and the first thing we went in was a leadership session. the camp started on the 27th but since i had class chalet, i decided to miss a few days, but the first few days sounded fun. i learned lots of different qualities about being a leader. next on the program was 2 session of electives where i attended military leadership and student leadership. the military leadership session was quite boring as it don't really relate to me. however, the student leadership session was good as it teaches me on how to handle problems in our daily life as a leader and christian.

next, we had our dinner which was bbq. had not eaten bbq for a long time already, but i did not really eat much. i was scared that i would fall ill. after dinner, we had to meet for ministry's meeting where we need to plan for the next 3 months of ministry work. we suggested ideas and kept laughing at some of them till it was almost 1. we decided to continue the next day and went back to the classroom to sleep.

it was a brand new day, and all of us woke up to continue our planning. when we were done, we had to decide a leader to lead the ministry and as majority has voted, huili became our new leader. we went to clear up all our belongings and also cleaned up the place. i even washed the changing rooms which i have not even used.

after cleaning up, we presented our ideas to the audience where i just held the mahjong paper for all to see while huili presented. i make a few new fwens there and even got to know one of jocelyn's room mate. we signed our autographs, and soon it was time to break camp.

yingxuan and i ate at a nearby coffee shop before going home where i took a bath and slept.

daddy, thank you for protecting me and my fwens throughout the entire camp. thank you for your word that i have learnt throughout the entire camp. i want to pray for my friends that they will be able to solve their problems. please help them to have an optimistic mindset of situations and allow them to be happy. amen.

chalet

woah. just came back from class chalet. i guess im too tired to elaborate on everything but overall, the whole chalet is fun.

on monday, i had to wake up at 8.45 and go to the home help out. yingxuan and i had to clean the windows for the entire time. we cleaned for 3 hours, enduring with the smell of sewage, scary spiders, skin being corroded by detergent. when everything was done, we felt accomplished because we managed to clean all the windows allowing the elderlies there to enjoy their stay.

i went for lunch with her at the nearby coffee shop and i went home to wait for my father to send me to the chalet to check-in. however, he was late because of work and for that, IM SORRY TO ALL MY CLASSMATES WHO HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO COME BEFORE THEY CAN ENTER THE CHALET. I FEEL QUITE BAD TO MAKE ALL OF YOU WAIT FOR ME. SORRY.

when i check into the chalet, we had nothing to do. we watched television, played cards, trying to entertain ourselves with games and forfeits. genevive came too to join us. soon, it was time for dinner and we went to the food court to have our dinner. nelson, wanchin and i went to the bus-stop to pick up jocelyn who had work todo in the morning in school.

after dinner, brenda, glen, hoiting, nelson and i went to the arcade to play couple of games. when we went back, genevive had to leave. we played playstation and dance revolution. we also waited jiaying who came very late to go shopping with her fwen. glen, hoiting, nelson and i went to pick her up from the bus-stop. not long after, we played mahjong and i won only 2 games.

morning came again and it was a new day, i slept only 1 hour which was quite precious to me. hoiting, jeremy and jocelyn had to leave for school for their own work and glen had to leave too. however, charmaine, desiree and yiling came to join us. we went to macdonalds for breakfast and then to the arcade. jiaying, nelson and i decided to go back to the chalet as we were bored of staying in the arcade. we went back to the chalet to play playstaion and mahjong which allowed us to kill lots of time.

soon it was dinner, hoiting, jeremy and jocelyn came back from school. we ordered 4 pizzas for dinner which were not enough. vivien came too, she thought it was bbq and wanted to eat the food, greedy pig. we played polar bear to entertain ourselves and the laughter were well-enjoyed.

soon, some people had to leave. as they could not stay overnight, they left for home. the remaining went for night cycling except for jiaying, nelson and yanxian who did not borrow bicycles. they stayed in the chalet to rest.

we had a fun time cycling, from pasir ris, we cycled to changi village then to changi airport to east cost park and back to the chalet. we cycled about 30km and the $15 spent on the bicycles were worth it. we came back to the chalet at around 6.30 and we washed up, having a shower. tiredness came upon us silently and soon everybody was knocked out with silence in the air.

at about 10, we returned the bike and packed our stuff to check-out. we had breakfast at the food court again. then, it was time to return to our home sweet home to lie in our long-missed beds. i slept for 6 hours to be awoken for dinner with my father and sister.

these few days is totally fun and have been well spent. tomorrow, i still have another camp, guess i cannot blog again tomorrow.

daddy, thank you for these few days which were all fun and interesting. thank you for keeping us safe throughout the whole time and especially during the night cycling. i want to thank you for all the friends you have given me and the time we spent brought us closer together, learning new things about each other. i pray that you will keep them safe and cheer them up while they are sad. do not let them worry about any problems. amen.

nothing to do

im tired. woke up at 11 and watched television for half the day. had nothing to do for the entire day. i went to have lunch with my father and sister. following that, i went to my father's shop to help out in his work. the opportunity cost of helping out is zero because there is no second alternative forgone.

after helping out, i went for dinner with my family at thiong bahru. we ate porridge that were quite tasty and nice. had fun eating there.

guess my day is so short, i think it's because there's nothing for me to do. i have to pack my bag soon for tomorrow's class chalet. it's going to be fun, fun, fun.

daddy, thank you for the lovely day you have blessed me with. i pray that you will protect my classmates and i during this few days in the chalet that you will keep us in safe hands. amen.

happy all the way

WOOTS! im quite happy today. first thing in the morning, received an sms from costa sands informing me about the chalet room number. it brightened up my day.

next, i followed my father who was sending my sister to work. she was grumbling about being late because my father picked her up late. after she reached and left, my father decided to bring me to eat my breakfast. not long after, my sister called and said that she cannot work because she's underaged. so she went all the way there for nothing, complaining and grumbling for nothing.

i went to bishan to buy a bread for breakfast which lasted me till dinner. i had to gobble up my breakfast and take a train down to newton to watch a play at acs barker. in the train, i met vince. i was quite surprised he remembered me and i did not notice him till he tapped me. he was going to toa payoh to do his homework, and i talked to him for a while before he alighted.

i rushed to acs barker only to find myself 45 mins early for the play. i went to watch it with geraldine, karina, kartik, rachel and suxin. we watched the play name arabian nights put up by acjc. i saw a few of my secondary fwens there who still remember me, so im quite happy too. the play was not too bad, wonder how many practises they had.

following that, i went to church. today the pastor preached about thanksgiving. he said that we singaporeans, in general always complain and grumble. even the slightest mistake would cause us to flare up. so no matter what the circumstances, we have to give thanks to god. there are people out there who are more unfortunate than us. so we should be grateful that we are able to live in such a peaceful environment.

daddy, thank you for the blessings that you have blessed me with, for all the things you have given me. i pray that you would make me to be a grateful person, looking always at the positive side and thank you for it. i pray for my fwens that they too will be grateful. amen.

it's the future that brings surprises

i guess there's nothing much today to blog about. i feel like im wasting 24 hours everyday doing nothing, watching seconds pass by as if there's unlimited time. i tried to kill the time i have with television and book, yet again. guess if im put on an island, i just need to have television and books to get by the day.

i woke up and began my day with television. with nothing to watch, i continue to read my book. i had to stop at the most exciting part of the story, keeping myself in suspense. i went down with my sister to a nearby coffee shop and ate my lunch. my sister wanted to buy brocolli and carrot home to cook for her snack, quite hilarious and cute. did i mentioned my sister watches her diet VERY CAREFULLY?

when i reached home, my sister began to cook the vegetables and i helped her wash the vegetables. tried acting as some chef trying to look professional, quite funny. however, when she ate the vegetables, she said it still tasted raw. since i could not be bothered, i went back to continue reading my book and managed to finish it. wonder how im going to pass my holidays later on.

took a short nap, waiting for my father to bring us out for dinner. so that's all for my boring day, all i can do is look forward to a brand new day with surprises to come.

have a break, have a kit-kat

finally a break from staying at home. was supposed to go out to watch enchanted today but hoiting and wanchin were sick, wonder why the virus so mean, leaving me and the rest to watch. in the end, i decided not to go because im not even close to them and almost stayed at home. however, managed to ask yingxuan out.

we had lunch at bishan where we ate at a hawker centre. i ate fish soup with rice and the person gave me so little fish, SELFISH! following that, we went to bishan library to complete some of our holiday homework. have not touched it since last week. managed to complete permutations and combinations and linear equations tutorial. felt quite accomplished.

after doing our work till we could not take it, we decided to take a walk around junction 8. we walked around into shops, looking for christmas presents, helping yingxuan shop. i read a book and found out that worries are not meant to be handled by us, but by god. leave all our worries to him and lead our happy lifestyle.

then i went for cell group. today there was no sharing, instead we played games mostly on IQ, thinking out of the box. my cell leader then link these games back to our walk with god. it was quite fun and exciting.

daddy, thank you for giving me a fun day after all the peaceful days. maybe i should leave all my worries with you and stop worrying once and for all. i pray that you will help me and my friends solve all their problems and lessen their burden. amen.

worries are no use

boring yet again. stayed at home with only my book and television. that's all that i did again. it's almost like yesterday but today's slightly different because my father brought my sister and i out for lunch.

we went to katong and ate western food, guessed i didn't eat there for quite a long time already. the place looked like a cafe but the price was quite reasonable, the food was good too. there was quite a long queue waiting to get into the cafe but in the end we got in. really enjoyed myself there, spending time with people who treasures me and respect each other is enjoyable no matter where we are.

i also heard on the radio that worrying is not to anybody liking. everybody want to live in a peaceful world but there have to problems. we always think about the problem even though we know that there is no use worrying about it. therefore we need reminders that will remind us to stop worrying.

so that's mostly what's interesting for today. the rest is just too boring to be mentioned.

daddy, i want to thank you for allowing me to enjoy myself today. i want to pray that people will not worry, please remind them that there is no use in worrying but in all things leave it to you. amen.

nothing

i guess there's nothing to do today. have been staying most of the day. either im reading book or im watching television. there's nothing much for me to do except HOMEWORK! i don't want to do homework.

i got out of the house to have lunch and after that im back to facing the television and book. i went to eat lunch with my sister at toa payoh central where we ate noodles. soon, we came back home to continue the boring day.

guess tomorrow's going to be the same. maybe staying at home is a good thing afterall.

daddy, thank you for removing the worries i had, allowing me to enjoy the day again. i want to pray for people who are having problems, please help to solve them and do not let them feel worried or sad about it anymore. amen.

fun day?

i wont say that today is a very fun day, neither is it a lousy day.

woke up at 8.45 and rushed to the home nearby my house. i was not looking forward to it as i did not want to do anymore household chores. to my delight, yingxuan and i did art and craft for a few hours where we pasted pictures from magazine onto some card. think it's for christmas decorations. we also cleaned the blinds in the office that were very dusty. wondered how the people worked there with such dusty conditions. the water that we used to clean turned black quite fast and needed a change of new water a few times.

had lunch with joyce and yingxuan at toa payoh central. we went to eat noodles which yingxuan found the soup heavenly and wanted to buy their soup. had quite a lot of laughter spending time with them, probably forgetting everything on my mind. following that, we went to the library where we tried to find our books. i did not get the books that i wanted and just followed yingxuan and joyce.

later on, met nelson at toa payoh central where we decided to go to orchard to find the cherry liquer chocolates that was supposedly arriving today but to our disappointment, there still wasn't any stock. nelson decided to sent me to the mrt, saying that he would continue the search by himself.

did not feel like going home, so i went to bishan on my own. went to the library and managed to borrow the book that i wanted. that probably liven up my day a little. had a few hiccups along the way and i hate it. why can't i be myself again?

so here's me rotting at home. by the way, i took a short nap and had dinner at a nearby coffee shop.

daddy, i pray that you will help me, get this peoblem over and done with. if it's my fault, i pray that you would help me correct the mistake. amen.

dying for sleep

exhausted, exhausted, exhausted... im tired out from today. *yawns* need my beauty sleep soon.

today, i woke up at 8.45 reluctantly, i wanted to sleep longer. i went with my aunty, uncle and cousins to their church. my uncle picked me up from my house and drove all of us there. it was so different from my church but still enjoyed myself. also, as the pastor preached, he painted a picture of the cross. it was quite artistic and creative. he preached on what the jesus died on the cross symbolises -- forgiving us, blessing us, healing us, giving us enternal life. through his preaching, i gained more insight.

after church, my uncle had to leave for work, so the rest of us took the mrt to singapore science centre. it's been a few years since i steped into the place. the centre changed slightly with some water features installed on the outside for people to play and enjoy.

my aunty's company organised a family day today there and we went there to join in the celebration. we had our lunch there, eating the catered food. after lunch, we went to the omni-theatre to watch dinosaurs. one of my cousin who was 4 years old, got quite frighted as it was 3-dimensional. he sat with my aunty during the show as he was too afraid to watch.

after watching, we walked around, looking at the exhibits which were quite interesting. i still remembered some of the exhibits even though i had not seen it for a few years. later on, we went to macdonalds to have a tea break, eating fries to fill my tummy a little.

it was then time to go home, had quite a fruitful day spent outside. it's such a fun day spent after all.

daddy, thank you for blessing me today, allowing me to hear your word once again. today, i want to pray for my fwens who are having problems but are having difficulties to solve them. i pray that you would help them get over this ordeal. i also want to pray for some of my fwens who are going to take their exams soon, i pray that you would give them the wisdom needed to do well in it, bringing glory to your name. for those who are collecting their results, i pray that you would give them a peace of mind, do not let them worry. seeing their results would cause them to give you thanks and rejoice in you. amen.

slip-per

woke up at the usual time of 11. i went to meet nelson at harbourfront where we continue our search of cherry liquer chocolates. we went to the marks & spencer at vivocity where we could not find the chocolate. instead we asked the sales-person whether do they carry it. he just search for a while and said that they do not have. he looked as if he do not know what it was in the first place so we just left the shop empty handed.

in the end, we decided to walk around vivocity and do some sight-seeing. we walked around, with nothing in mind to look at, just killing the time we had. while walking, we saw a person slipped on a cup of coke that was spilled on the floor. seeing her fell gave me a fright, she did not have the strength to stand up. seeing her wear slippers, i thought to myself, are "slip-pers" shoes that allows us to slip. if it is, why do we still wear it, if not why is it called slippers.

after walking around the whole place, we decided to go back home. i went to my grandmother's house to have my lunch which was delicious, as usual.

after lunch, i went home to prepare myself. next, i went to church. today's sermon was quite good as my pastor preached about have an identity as a christian. everybody has an identity if not they are suffering from an identity crisis. we as christians, too have an identity. when we become christians, we gain a new identity and we have to fulfil it. not being a "sunday christian" but a fully-fledged all week.

daddy, i pray that you will allow me to have an identity and obey your word. i pray that you will guide me along the right path. amen.

homework

today, i slept till my heart content, did not feel like waking up. in the end, i woke up around 11. i had not planned anything for the day and just did what i feel like doing -- slack. i watch television and read my book.

out of a sudden, hoiting smsed me to go to plaza singapura to do homework. i had not touched my homework for ages. i almost forgot how to write, when i wrote, my handwriting was a bit weird. soon, i adapted and wrote much better. i got to have some discipline, thanks to hoiting, i managed to study a bit of mclarin series and do my permutations and combinations tutorial. im quite glad to have touch my homework.

when we both felt bored of doing work, we went for a short walk around, catching up with the days that we did not see each other. soon, she had to leave for xinmin where she had band training there. so i went to meet my father for dinner.

it was quite a accomplished day, feeling happy now.

not to forget, TODAY IS DESIREE, JOCELYN AND KENGHUANG BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF YOU! HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE FUN ON THIS DAY!

movie

i woke up earlier than usual, i received a sms from uncle james that woke me up. tried going back to sleep, but received a call from some women asking to order drinks. i decided not to continue sleeping already, continue reading my book to kill time. i totally forgot that i was supposed to be worried, but today i feel much better. guessed it's the wonderful sleep i had.

i went to cineleisure to buy tickets for sugar and spice.it's been a long time since i watched a movie, so im quite happy that today i managed to watch one. soon, fiona came along and we went to watched the show. the show's quite good but the storyline a bit predictable. next, we went to novena to eat ice-cream buffet. i think we are going to grow fat soon, i ate 7 scoops while she ate 8. there was free flow of waffle too and 1 cup of iced lemon tea. after eating so much, i don't think i will ever want to eat ice-cream for a few weeks, or even months. in fact, im beginning to detest anything that taste sweet.

we walked around for a little while, doing a bit of window shopping. soon, we were on our way home. i went to my grandmother's house to have dinner. surprisingly, i can eat a plate of rice with dishes. i think im craving for food that is warm, and do not taste sweet.

daddy, thank you for giving me a beautiful day. i pray that today you will help those in need of you. those that need you by their side, guilding them, helping them and healing them. i pray that no matter how busy their lives may be, they will always turn to you, setting aside sonme time for you. amen.

emotions

i think i have been worrying the whole day. probably would have been worrying till tomorrow or forever. after clearing up the misunderstanding, i kind of felt slightly better. hope by tomorrow it will be all gone.

today i almost overslept. i woke up when the alarm rang but i off it and went back to sleep. at 8.40, i rushed to the toilet and washed up. i had to be at the home at 9 but here i am at home till 8.55. as the home was only a few blocks away from my house, i was late for only 5 minutes. i think if it did not rain, i would have reached earlier.

at the home, yingxuan and i were asked to take a seat first, while they prepare things for us to do. we caught up with each other on the days we did not meet. think i forgot my worries for awhile then. soon, it was time for work. we toured around the home in less than 5 minutes and were asked to do household chores already.

i was asked to wash the sinks, bathrooms and toilets while yingxuan swept and mopped the floor. it was a tiring job but i finished quicker than her. in the end, to make things faster, i helped her swept and mopped too. think it was because i did housework BEFORE. (notice that i emphasise 'before', now im just slacking at home, getting nagged by my parents. if they knew i am doing housework outside, they will nagged even more.)

we finished at about 12 and decided to have lunch together. we ate at a nearby food centre and i had to helped yingxuan buy her food and drinks as she was dead tired. she even had blister when she only swept and mopped, guess she's not used to doing housework. i stoned with her after eating, listening to each other's problems, guess nobody's perfect.

after lunch, i went to meet nelson at toa payoh. he wanted to buy cherry liqouer chocolate at marks & spencer, so i went to orchard to accompany him. we first went to wheelocks place where we tried to find it but the sales person said it was out of stock. we then went to paragon and continue the hunt, again the sales persn said it was out of stock. disappointed, we went to centrepoint. it was like amazing race but hunting only for marks & spencer as we were rushing for time as nelson had bowling training and we were late. centrepoint too was out of stock. finally we asked which other outlets carry the stock and the person replied that all the outlets are out of stock and are waiting for the shipment to come in.

we could have asked the person at wheelocks which other outlets carry the chocolate and save all the walking from orchard to centrepoint, but it was good excercise. so i went back home while nelson had his training.

daddy, please help me to control my emotions, i am also seeing the need to change. i think that i want to start being nice to my fwens and only teasing them when it's appropriate. i hope there would not be a second incident. please help me to learn from this incident and be a better person. i also want to pray for all my fwens who are down for whatever reasons that they will cheer up. i hope that they will be able to see your plans which are always good. amen.

up and DOWN

today i went swimming with nelson at hougang swimming complex again. while swimming, he saw someone there and he decided to leave the pool. so instead of swimming at hougang, we went to yio chu kang to swim. at the swimming pool, there was very few people, leaving us with lots of space to swim around. the whole incident was quite hilarious, moving to somewhere else because of a person.

after swimming, we went to cineleisure to meet charmaine, desiree, jocelyn, justin, kenghuang, wanchin and yiling there. we have decided to celebrate desiree's, jocelyn's and kenghuang's birthday today as their birthday falls on the 16 november but some people could not make it then so we have it today. we had our lunch at the food court and left to walk around while justin and kenghuang went to play pool. we walked to takashimaya, looking at clothes, shoes and even food. this makes nelson hungry. with nothing much left to see, we decided to sit at macdonalds to eat some snacks and catch up on lots of stuff.

we continued walking around and decided to have dinner. we walked all the way to dhoby ghaut and decided to eat at swensens where we could have eated it at orchard. anyway, that was when my feelings went down. i know i shouldn't have said it but i did. i spoiled people's mood and so was mine. i tried to cheer myself up with an ice-cream called cookie submit. however, halfway into it, it's either im sick of it, no mood or really full, i could not finish it. giving the rest to justin to finish it, i sat and reflect on what just happened, looking stoned. during this time, wanchin and nelson claimed that they needed the toilet but they came back with cakes for the 3 persons.

since we could not eat outside food in swensens, we went to the entrance of plaza singapura and ate the cakes. i still did not have the mood to enjoy, eating only a bite from jocelyn's cake which she had to force it into my mouth before i ate it. due to smokers who polluted the air, we decided to leave the place bringing me here -- home.

i really regreted what i did today. if time were to turn back, i promise i wouldn't commit this mistake again.

SORRY TO THE PEOPLE WHOM I HURT. ESPECIALLY YOU!

daddy, i hope that she will forgive me, not affecting our friendship that we have build up. i pray that when she siad never mind, she really meant it, if not i think i will regret all my life. i understad that the tondue is the sharpest weapon and can hurt anyone easily. i pray that you will help me control it, not using it to hurt but to bless. amen.

fat me

told you it was the weekends that were boring, i had lots of excitement today. was supposed to go swimming today. however it was raining and spoiled the plans nelson and i had.

i had a hard time waking up, almost overslept but woke up just in time. i went to an elderly home a few blocks away with yingxuan trying to volunteer ourselves to work there. finally we managed to volunteer ourselves and doing something charitable. also, it was because of nyaa that forced us to volunteer.

fortunately, the rain poured before i left to meet nelson at the swimming complex. so we decided to change our plans and go to bugis to fix nelson's bag. the uncle there just used a caribbeana to hook the sling and the bag together, temporary fixing it. he said that if it needs proper fixing, he would have to leave his bag there for 3 days, causing inconvenience. so we just left with the caribbeana in place and his bag temporarily fixed. his bag was spoilt months ago, and he decided to change a new bag. after seeing the uncle fix it so easily, he kept blaming himself.

next, we ate at the food junction, which was quite costly, an average meal about $5. the food was alright but slightly expensive. after eating, we went to window shop. nelson wanted to buy a new bag and shoes but could not find a suitable one, and he kept grumbling about it. since we were meeting zhonghao at sembawang, i told him to go there and try shopping at sun plaza.

unexpectedly, there was practically nothing to see there. it was quite empty, and we had even went to the library to relieve ourselves of boredom. we ate lots of snacks, trying to kill time while waiting for zhonghao's arrival. finally, after being 1 hour and 15 minutes late, he arrived. being kind, we decided to let him off.

we went to his house to slack. we watched tv, played computer which were for a short while. most of the time we were in his room playing monopoly. guess who won, it's ME! we then had dinner at his house which we told him not to prepare but still he did. so we had to help finish the food.

after dinner, i came back home and ate another round of dinner. my father pack the fish porridge from my grandmother house and i had to eat it too. growing real fat soon!

daddy, thank you for such a wonderful day. i pray that people around me will be happy too. take away their sadness, worriedness and angriness away and just let them be happy. amen.

weekend?

hmm. nothing much today again. i think it's just the weekends. i don't do much during the weekends.

woke up at 10.15, continue reading my book from where i last stopped. then i went to eat my breakfast while watching the last episode of a taiwan drama serial. it was quite touching as the male and female leads finally got together after many trials. however, it's like so cliche already, which shows doesn't have happy ending.

went to a nearby market to have a bowl of noodles for lunch. the food was alright but the surroundings were interesting. there were 2 women who kept shouting at each other for some time, then 1 of the women went complaining to all the stall vendor, making a din. wonder who's at wrong, as they were speaking in hokkien, i didn't quite catch what they were saying. so i left without even bothering them.

went home to continue reading my book, trying to finish it as it was interesting and exciting. then, it was time for dinner, went to my grandmother house to have a delicious bowl of fish porridge. im going to eat it again tomorrow, so happy.

after dinner, my mother brougt my sister and i to novena aquare to do some window shopping while my father stayed in the car. i just followed them blindly as they walked around and did nothing. with nothing much to look at, they went to cold storage and bought some groceries. with that we went home.

daddy, thank you for another day that has gone by. although there are some hic-cups along the way, i pray that you will cure this hic-cups. help my friends solve their problems easily, finding an answer that is to their delight.

another day

can i not blog about today? i dun even know what to write. today, i have nothing exciting which i feel is my dialy lifestyle. woke up at 12.30 and ate my breakfast while watching television and reading book. had a hard time concentrating on both but managed to understand what i was watching and reading. i threw away half of my breakfast as it was not very nice. the beehoon was cold and not very tasty so it went down the bin.

then, i went to my grandmother house to eat my lunch. wonder how i managed to finish one plate of noodle, but i did it. think it was because it tasted so much better than the beehoon. i then went back home to prepare to go to church.

today's surmon was something about having a purpose in life and quoting from what the pastor has said, "having no purpose in life is as good as dead". it was quite interesting hearing him speak. kind of motivated me to find my purpose in life.

daddy, thank you for giving me a peaceful day. today, i pray that you will show me my purpose in life in time to come, showing me the strenghts that i can use to serve you and the weaknesses to work on. amen.

totally exhausted

my eyelids weigh a ton now! im very tired after going through the activities for the whole day. i need my beauty sleep.

today, i had general paper lecture and i had to wake up at 9 even though i slept at 2. i had to foce myself awake and go to school. the whole lecture was quite boring as they briefed us only on next year's work and our dreaded holiday homework.

then, nelson, zhonghao and i went to nyp to eat our lunch. zhonghao who is very kind bought for us an extra packet of fries which we were not grateful because nelson had sore throat and cough and could not eat while i did not feel like eating fries as i feel that it's unhealthy. however, sicne there was nobody to help finish the fries, i had to eat it all up. SINFUL!

after lunch, i went home to pack my swimming stuff and went to hougang swimming complex to swim with nelson. the sun was beating down hard on us and we decided to tan ourselves a little. we had a great time swimming about, although i was exhausted. i had not swum for almost 2 years and suddenly going swimming was weird. i had to adapt once again to the water and practise the swimming strokes. i gave nelson some help as he too did not swim for a very long time.

after swimming, i met my mother and 2 aunties at thiong bahru where we took a bus to chinatown. we went to og to do some shopping. i was all alone walking around the men's section with nothing to look at. my auntie even wanted to buy me a $50 shirt which i declined as i will feel bad. however, i tried the shirt for fun and did not buy.

following that, we went to the chinatown food street to have our dinner. we bought lots of food till i could not eat anymore. so i left them to do all the eating while i just watched them slowly eat and talk at the same time. by then i was really tired and just felt like taking a cab home. due to the cost, we took a bus straight to toa payoh where i took a short nap.

so now im here safely home. though exhausted, im blogging to allow readers of my blog to satisfy their addiction and not keep pestering me to hurry blog.

daddy, thank you for keeping safe today. these few days, you have been allowing me to enjoy myself and im grateful for that. im also thankful that now everything is quite peaceful without any problems, please let this stay for awhile more. amen.

boring day?

what shall i blog about? today is quite boring and i don't know what to blog about. i will try to make my boring day sound interesting.

okay. firstly, i woke up at 11.45 and i felt quite refreshed, being able to recover all the lost sleep. my sister kept complaining that i woke up late and she wanted to eat breakfast with me, and in the end she ate all the junk food at home. i was too sian to go out and eat, however my stomach needed something. so we went to toa payoh central to buy some food.

took a long time thinking of what to eat. in the end, my sister and i decided to eat sushi for lunch, we also bought munchy's donut for dessert. the donut was quite nice, at first we decided to leave some for my parents but after eating a few, we soon finished the box of 6 donuts.

after eating up all the food, i watched television. seeing that there were no nice programmes on, i went to my bed and lied down, soon i fell asleep. feeling like im such a pig today, but it's rarely i sleep so much, so i guess it's alright.

at about 8, i took my dinner. my tummy was feeling a bit weird already, think it's because im going to have gastric. my parents brought my grandmother out to have dinner together. we ate at bukit timah food court and ordered lots and lots of dishes. love to eat with my family when there's a guest around because we eat delicious food. we ordered 2 plates of satay beehoon, 1 stingray, 1 bowl of noodle, 1 plate of carrot cake and 2 bowls of dessert. at first we thought i thought couldn't finish, but being hungry and having such large appetites, we finished everything wih a blink of an eye. however, my grandmother didn't eat much, think she ate a bit before we bought her out.

so i had a lousy start with a wonderful end. to me, i guess it's not a bad day afterall. i prefer boring days to unhappy days.

ohya, talking to jocelyn just now on msn, she asked me to blog that she's such a nice friend so i shall blog it. SHE'S SUCH A NICE FRIEND!

daddy, thank you for giving me a peaceful day. thank you for the friends you have given me. im grateful for them, though sometimes they fail me, i know u will never fail me. u will always be there for me. thank you. amen.

copy of yesterday

aye! today is almost a copy of yesterday. i almost did the same thing again, just a little change here and there. today had a hard time waking up, again! but i still reached school on time to have economics and maths lecture. i think my mind totally blank out and i was just highlighting everything that was on the slide. i don't quite understand what im highlighting anyways but hope that i will read during the holidays.

today, my $50 just flew out of my pocket, had to pay for so many things and my mother kept complaining that i keep spending money and nag me to find a job. but this morning, she wanted to give me $20 but i declined because i had enough money for the day. i think all parents love their children no matter what wrong they have done. they may not have show it because they do not know how to express it or they feel uncomfortable to show it. guess deep inside there's still love.

after lecture, hoiting, jiaying, vivien and me followed nelson to amk hub to collect his jay chou's album. then we had lunch at the food court. at first, jiaying and i wanted to eat spicy fried chicken with rice but the vendor persuaded us to buy grilled chinken with rice instead. think he's too lazy to fry a new chicken as the grilled chicken was already grilled and is ready to be sold. so we gave him some face and bought grilled chicken.

after lunch, we walked to the 7-11 near jubilee and hoiting and i bought slurpee as it was $1.40 for 2. feeling bored, we decided to take a train to novena where the girls could shop. since nelson wanted to leave, i was there alone with hoiting, jiaying and vivien. so we went to novena to shop.

we went to novena and window shopped, they looked at shoes, but did not try them on as they were wearing school shoes and was very troublesome to remove it. we tried sunglassses and they tried to tempt me to buy a pair as i look cool and handsome in it but i did not succumb to temptation. they also tried nail polish, finding a suitable one to buy and even tried one on my nails. they also looked at bags, clothes and acessories which i took no interest in as they were not for me.

halfway, i had to leave for tennis, i left the 3 of them to shop and met brenda and cheryl at bishan mrt. had a fun time practising the strokes and felt quite accomplish when i sort of won the coach in a simple tennis game. i don't know whether did he take it easy and let me win but all i know was that i won. after tennis, i felt bored so brenda and i stoned at the bus interchange with nothing to do.

after about an hour, we decided to go back home. i met my parents for dinner and we went to thiong bahru for porridge. if the porridge do not have ginger in it, i think i would love it. following that, we went to bukit timah food centre to have dessert. we ate soya beancurd with rice ball and it was very tasty.

so i enjoyed my lovely day with so may activities to keep me entertained. guess tomorrow will be an exact opposite. have not planned what to do for tomorrow but guess i would wake up late to recover all the sleep that i lost.

daddy, thank you for today once again, you have blessed me countless times and i really appreciate it. please bless those around me too. let them feel your love, causing them to know hat they are not alone. also let them be touched by your love. amen.

tired out but fun

i keep sleeping late and waking up early, going to black out soon. today had to reluctuntly wake up at 6.45 for economics lecture. i had to force my eyes to open and my legs to bring me to the toilet. don't think i want to blog about the lecture. it would probably bore you out with GDP, GNP, NNP etc. i could not catch up with the lecturer's speed and had to copy notes blindly.

after the lecture, cepheus, hoiting, jayang, jiaying, nelson, pauline and took bus 162 to amk hub. along the way, the bus broke down. this was the first time for me and i find it quite fun and exciting. so we changed our plans and decided to walk to the s11 near jubilee to have our brunch. we talked and ate having fun.

after eating, cepheus and pauline had to leave so we went to amk hub to meet the rest of the class in the foodcourt. however, in less than a minute after meeting them, hoiting, jayang, jiaying and nelson had to leave, leaving me alone with the rest of the class. so i sat down at the table and began to play wanchin's handphone while wanchin and jocelyn were eating.

after they ate, we decided to take a walk in amk hub to kill time. however, one by one the people left, leaving me with charmaine, desiree, wanchin and yiling. since i had nothing to do at home, i decided to follow them to kill the remaining time. we went from shop to shop to look at accessories and soon, i think i can even memorise all the shops there. we were laughing and teasing each other, playing around, i think even the shoppers find us irritating.

after walking for so long, we decided to go to a dessert shop to take a rest there and to continue talking. we discussed about almost anything under the sun laughing at the slightest joke.

finding it a bit late, we decided to go back home, so we split up. i went to my grandmother's house to have my dinner, which was delicious, yet again. i even found out that my cousin had the same phone as wanchin, that's cool. she even taught me to play the marble game which requires to move the entire phone. unbelievable.

my parents then decided to do some shopping since giordano had a discount of 40% when a voucher is produced. so we went to hdb hub as it was the nearest to my house. to our surprise, the whole place was in a mess. the people there were so kiasu that they overturned the entire place.

finding it difficult to look for the clothes we wanted, we decided to go to novena square and shop there. i found a t-shirt that was to my liking and bought it. my mother even bought 2 bottoms for herself.

in all, i had a wonderful day again!

daddy, thank you for giving me another wonderful day. i pray that your blessings will not end and continue to pour on me, also not forgetting those around me too.

i also want to ask "why are there so many people suffering from fwen and family problem?" some have even blamed you for it. although it's not your fault that these problems arises, you have the power to set it right so i pray that you will help them in any way possible. i know that they are all trials to make them stronger but help them to over come it too. i want to pray that they will solve these problems and lead a peaceful life without any worries. amen.

holiday

phew! came back from a tiring day. today's the first day of the holiday for me. i woke up at 7 this morning because there is supposed to be tennis training. however it was cancelled due to the bad whether conditions and although the rain stopped, the tennis court was still wet and had to be postponed. so i tried to go back to sleep but i couldn't. i got out of my bed at 8 and took my breakfast while watching television. however as there is nothing to watch, i lied on the sofa and took a nap.

following that, i woke up at 10.30 and went to vivocity to meet brenda for lunch. we shared a mushroom burger at carl's junior and spent $7.40 each. it's kind of expensive but since brenda had not tried it before, i decided to let her experience it. the burger is quite humongous and we cut it into half and shared. also the drink was free-flow but we only took one round because the cup was larger than usual. being kiasu, brenda wanted to keep the cup and come back later for more drinks.

big mouth!

we then went to do some window shopping. as brenda was interested in photography, she went to best to find out more about some cannon camera, i look very blur then. all the terms the saleman was using to teach her about the camera were all new to me, and i didn't understand a single word he was saying.

also, she tried to look for a vest but none was to her liking as either the price or design weren't suitable. i also tried some clothing from topshop for fun. we also bought ice-cream from uzumaki, i bought bubble milk tea and she bought wasabi. the pearl that they gave on my ice-cream kept falling off and dirtied my hand. furthermore, brenda kept complaining that the ice-cream was very spicy although it was cold (contradicting).

later on, we went to toys 'r' us to look at toys and we found some transformer masks and tried it on. we even found elmo soft toys who said we were their best fwens.

wonder who's the short robot?

after toys 'r' us, we left for home. i went to eat dinner with my father at some nearby market and had quite a sumptous meal. love the food there. had a fun day today again.

daddy, thank you for giving me such a wonderful day. i pray that my days spend will all be wonderful and fun, most importantly, peaceful. i pray that you will bless my fwens, help them solve their problems. if they have any conflicts, i pray that you would become the middle man and help clear any misunderstandings. i pray that my fwens will be all happy again. amen.

lovely day

HOME SWEET HOME! i had an outing with my parents today. i think my parents quite outgoing, they love to go shopping and try new things on the market. most of the time it would be fun to hang out with them when they are not in their bad mood. I LOVE MY FAMILY!

i stayed at home in the morning watching television, then my father brought my sister and i to toa payoh central to have our lunch. however, i felt quite full and ate half a bowl of noodles, giving the rest to my father. later on, we went to suntec city to meet my mother and went to do some shopping. the only thing we bought was a packet of grape from carrefour.

we went to my grandmother house to have dinner. she cooked the best chicken rice and i ate to my heart's content. i love her cooking (think i mentioned that yesterday, but today must emphasise again). we then went to chinatown to have dessert, and i ate the usual dessert which was mango with pamelo and sago. i had a lovely day out. wonder when will be the next time. hope it will be soon.

saturday again

just came back from church. today is not as happening as the other two days but it's still alright. woke up quite late in the morning at about 11, which was the first time in so many days. i went to meet yingxuan a few blocks away from my house. we both went to an elderly home so as to become a volunteer to complete our nyaa. but to our dismay, it's office hours only operate on monday to friday from 9 - 5.30. so in the end we went home without doing anything.

later on, i went to my grandmother house to have my lunch. she's quite a good cook, i must say. every saturday, i would go to her house to have my lunch and then go to church, it's like my weekly routine.

today's sermon was on "how to be a caring person". it sort of relate to me as i want to be a caring person, i want to touch people lives. so to be caring, i must have compassion to love and care for people. i must have contact with people to go the extra mile for him. lastly, it involves cash, there's a cost if i want to bless the person, but i feel that it's worth it. he even speak on looking into the eyes of people, and look out for the "i-need-help" in their eyes.

daddy, today i want to be able to spot these people who need help and be able to care and help them. give me a heart of compassion to care for them. i also want to thank you for today, although there's nothing happening today, to me, everything's peaceful, and that's all i ask. amen.

day out

woah. spent the whole day out today, from 9 to 10.30, now im feeling really exhausted. going to have a really good sleep tonight. hope no one disturbs me tomorrow morning.

in the morning, i went with my parents to killiney kopitiam to eat breakfast. when i reached there, i quickly gulped all the food down in 15 minutes and from there, i rushed to yio chu kang for tennis. thank god, i reached there on time, exactly 10. although the first part of the lesson is a bit dull and i was hoping for time to quickly pass so that i don't have to endure the coach criticising me, it became more interesting during the next part. brenda, cepheus, cheryl and i played 4 rounds where we tied at 2-2. during the game, the coach even ask us to surf the ball when we were facing the sun, and all i could see was bright light. in the end, i followed my intuition and jus hit. sometimes it got in but sometimes it just hit the net. so it's like 50% chance.

following that, i went to meet yingxuan and karmun at the school bus-stop. from there we went to coronation plaza to have our lunch. we shared lemon chicken and fish rice among the 3 of us which made us quite full already. we then moved on to island creamery and shared 4 scoops of ice-cream. at first, we thought of sharing a tub of ice-cream, but instead we felt quite full and bought 4 scoops of ice-cream.

after eating the ice-cream, we took a bus to bukit timah plaza and yingxuan bought a tuner and some guitar strings. then we took another bus to acsi to collect my o level certificate. the school really changed alot since i last stepped in, in may. they tightened the security and changed the security guards. so now, yingxuan and karmun could not enter. they sort of broke my trend of highness.

we took another bus again to orchard because karmun wanted to register for chemistry tuition. also we wanted to do some window shopping and become high again. however, seeing the adminstration lady's attitude, she thought twice about registering there. in the end, she decided to register at the bishan outlet and wanted to enquire about the class there through the phone. however, even the attitude of the the lady in the phone was lousy and she quickly hang up. after that, she decided to ask for the bishan outlet's phone number and asked me to call that lady to get the number. it was until i heard how she treat her customers before i believe karmun that the service was very poor.

we decided to forget all these unhappiness and went to hereen to shop. both karmun and yingxuan shared a present for their close fwen's birthday. they bought a necklace which cost $18 and they felt it was resonable. however, walking further down, we found another shop which has the same name and decided to check the necklace's price. to our horror, it costs $12.60. from then on, karmun kept whining about us being conned and felt that we were stupid. we tried convincing her that there was prouct differentiation between the 2 shops and the necklaces.

after that, we parted our ways. i met my church fwens for dinner at soup spoon. where i ate till full to the brim and the best thing was that it was FREE because uncle james and aunty janet treated us. after dinner, we went to taka to do some window shopping.

in short, i went out till now and is quite a fun day. i love these few days now!

thank you daddy once again, i love you for blessing me all these years and never failed me. i want to pray for 3 fwens today that you will help them with their problems that you will solve them. you have a plan for them and that they are all good, so plaese help them cross this hurdle and let them be happy like me. amen.

oral presentation ended

WOOTS! came home feeling high. just now i had class outing to marina bay where we ate steamboat buffet. as glen, hoiting and vivien has said, the $10 used to pay for the food cannot be recovered we kept eating the same food and it's not worth the money. i feel that the money spent is used to eat and bond with friends. however bonding with friends is priceless and cannot be bought so the $10 spent is worth it. think only nelson made his money worth. he's allergic to seafood but he ate about 20 prawns and countless shellfish. wonder whether will he be alright.

today, i finished my oral presentation exam which i feel i did better than all the practises. i think i did the impossible. i had never thought i could formally present anything to a group of audiences. but it felt really good. although i paused at one part trying to recall on what to say, jocelyn said that it was not noticeable. and for my question and answer, jocelyn helped me spot the question and therefore i could answer the question properly. so overall, i felt that my whole group, SANGUINE did very well. needless to say, i think my class have done their best during the exam, so LET'S ACE THIS SUBJECT AS A CLASS.

after the exam, i wanted to take a picture of my name and desiree offered to help, so quite thankful for her.

desiree publicizing my name

i also wan to thank jocelyn for dedicating a post to me. im quite touched by it *sobs*.

after the exam, my group destroyed the model which they worked very hard for a few days to piece it together. but in less than a minute, with little strength required, the model was in pieces. now it's in the bin waiting to be incinerated. i even tore my cue cards in to pieces and threw it away. the after-exam feeling just feels very good.

from there, we went to amk hub to meet those who had their presentation in the morning shift. and we were on our way to marina bay. had much fun talking in the mrt and bus. making faces with wanchin and cam-whoring the whole time. i even found out that i sprint faster than keng huang and justin. they wanted to tickle me but i sprinted and they gave up halfway, which was good because i don't think i could sprint any longer as i sprinted about 200m. overall, i had a great time spent with my whole class.

daddy, thank you for giving me such a wonderful day. thank you for helping me with my presentation which i did not have confidence in and for the fwens who encouraged me before the exam. i also want to thank you for the wonderful day you have blessed me with. amen.

project work kills? i don't agree

why is everyday a slack day? im like doing nothing most of the time in school. but it's still a good thing, i guess. practised twice today again and made improvements so im feeling good. but the whole day was sitting in class and reading book, sometimes walking around and went to canteen to eat the baked potato. also went to kfc to eat cheese fries and one slice of meltz. it was plain boring.

today was the results of the ogl and i, of course, got in, sort of expected it already. but being me, worry at the slightest possible thing, sometimes even think too far and let my imagination run wild. hope i can control it and stop letting it run, but at least walk.

tomorrow is the day of oral presentation. although im not feeling anything now, i know that tomorrow i will be feeling scared and everything. it's will also be the last day of our project work group. think i will miss this group and will never forget the people in it.

will miss these people starting from CHERYL. she's the person who's the most enthusiatic in the group and always go "SET UH". i don't think i will ever forget this phrase. also i will never miss the times where she will be the latest and goes "SORRY" to everybody. also the time where she went missing and genevieve, nelson and i went to look for her. these are the time we will all miss, i hope.

moving on to GENEVIEVE, she's the person who's always stressed up and worrying, sometimes worrying too much i guess. she will be saying stuff like "WE MUST GET A", and sometimes stressed till she talks to herself. she's always providing us with food which we sometimes cannot finish. she smiles to hide her anxiety and afraidness putting up a brave front. miss you too, going to your house and everything.

next, JOCELYN, she will be laughing throughout the entire time, sometimes laughing at the slightest things. she brings laughter and joy to our group and sometimes crave too much for bubble tea too. the person who does stupid things that will make people laugh will also be her. sometimes dancing, singing and playing the piano to entertain us. will miss all your monkey actions, don't stop making us laugh.

lastly, NELSON, he is always hungry, craving for food. he likes to say "IM HUNGRY", trying to look for food in genevieve's house. sometimes making us laugh with his jokes. i should say he's quite clever, helping us solve our project problems and the making of the model. will never forget you as a fwen.

in conclusion, i want to thank all of you for making our project work group the best. i will always remember this project work group, AJ129, SANGUINE.

TO ALL THOSE HAVING ORAL PRESENTATIONS TOMORROW, ALL THE BEST. WORK HARD AND DO NOT PANIC. JIAYOU

daddy, today i want to pray for another fwen that you will make her feel whole again. make her feel all bubbly, filled with laughter and joy inside so that it will overflow, spreading to all of us her happiness. i also want to pray for tomorrow oral presentation that you will help everybody to do their best. amen.
