Current Location: HOME! =)
Current Mood: happy happy
Current Music: shi xin feng

i had this bbq today with my classmates.  i was still contemplating whether i should go anot but in the end, i'm glad i went. somehow the company is just different and it actually is quite fun hangout with them. i used to think that school wasnt a big part of my life because of the things that happened and i chose to believe so. but after being in school for close to 3 years, it really does play a part in my life even though its like another stopover, its one that matters and friends dont just come by like that. which is why i'm beginning to hangout with my classmates because they are fun to be with and they are really nice =) so since i never talk about school, i should start =) and i never really introduce my schoolmates to people. so i should now =)


this is the girls whom i'm closer to.
left:audrey
right:joan


so this is the group of people i hangout with in school. jed was suppose to come too but he had something last minute.
so from the left: jason, me, joan, audrey and jialiang. those on the chairs: kelvin and sean

we have more photos but its with jason. haha. its pretty funny pictures. i'll upload it when i get it.

so in the meantime, these are my friends. =)

there is a higher throne @ 10:35 pm

Current Mood: happy happy

dont we all love this time of the year? i must say that this year has been exceptionally good for me. rather the end of the year has been great. i had quite a few good talks with people whom i haven't spoken to in like months and got to know some people better too. this definitely could not have been possible if there was no God involved. i feel that all i did was to ask God to change me in the various ways and when He does, even though i know i'm not okay with it, i still know that ultimately, its the best for me and looking at how God works is just simply amazing. He'll just leave you in awe. haha after He is the almighty God.

last week was the annual YF camp. it is the first time being a assistant group leader and it wasn't as stressful as i thought it would be and i actually learnt alot. i think as group leaders we always feel like we need to do this and that but i think at the end of the day like what TE said, we'll definitely learn alot. however during this camp i fell sick which actually didn't really affected me that much because being with my group and having so much fun with them just made all pain and sick feeling go away.

this is my group =)
shammah - it means the Lord is there.

girls:cheryl, annie, ethel, estee
guys:zq, samuel, jonathan, louis, joshua, benji


and this is our favourite game. the slapping game. hahaha! =)


and also, my old friend came for the camp and with her around, it felt just like the old times, because being with her allows me to be myself, without any masks, just being myself. =)


and these are the campers =)


then it was Christmas =) Christmas for me this year was really good. even though there was the rushing of Christmas cards, feeling all tired because there just isn't enough time to rest, it still felt great. think partly its because there was good foooood. i love cheese!!! haha and remembering the birth of Jesus Christ whom died for us and by Hid grace we are saved. i feel so special and loved =))))

somehow i think i've changed. i've become more approachable and friendly. haha
you think so?

i hope everyone had a good time. i did!!! =) i sure hope that 2008 will be a good one for everyone out there =)))

anyways, i created a link for the photos that i find too lazy to upload so if you want to see the photos, just click on PHOTOS

hongkong trip @ 09:30 pm

Current Mood: happy happy

Hongkong is seriously overrated. it really isnt as nice as how people always say it. i meant the shopping. other than that, its pretty much like singapore, but more crowded =)

and it was some revelation @ 12:20 am

i think its scary to realise how mean i can get. and suddenly i thought of Ephesians 4 about how in anger, do not sin. and for like the first time in my life i ever thought of apologising. but then its where pride just comes in and i dont want to give in because it just looks as if i lost the argument and i hate it. i dont like the feeling of being evil its scary and its like giving the devil a foothold. gosh i think its freaky realising how whatever you learnt just applies somehow. rather one fine day you just realise that it applies.

sometimes i just feel that people just dont understand what i am saying anymore because they dont go through the same things that i go through, and as much as they always say 'i understand', they really dont. then it just makes you go into the 'gosh no one understands me' kinda mode. but then you realise, even if the whole world doesnt understand you, there's still God rather there's ALWAYS God and he never fails and He IS the only one who understands and that comforts me alot  =)

when you're gone @ 06:56 pm

and i'm done with the first week of school. gosh time just pass so fast, its pretty scary. anyways one the first day of last sem, i was feeling pretty upset because it suddenly struck me that it might just seem that its gonna be the last time i'm ever gonna see my classmates. the ones who were irritating-nice-crazy-disgusting-just piss you off people, i'm never gonna see them. and i never felt like i'll miss them i mean those who know me would probably have heard me saying dont know how many million times about how happy i am that its only next year and i'll be out of school. but now i just wanna go to school everyday and spend time with my classmates because i enjoy being with them. they make me laugh, they drive my nuts and they are just a nice bunch of people to be with and i'm gonna miss that. nonetheless, i'm still happy that school will be over in no time =) because it'll be another phase of life  to look forward too =)

december is coming and its always the busiest month =) christmas is coming and i'm so excited =) shopping for christmas presents and writing cards, oh i absolutely love this time of the year =)

i still remember how you look like. @ 09:02 pm

Current Mood: happy happy



this is one of my fav shows! =)
i like the illustrations and the story =)

and when i was trying to recall and remember how my friends look like, i could for some and could not for some. which makes me realise who really matters to me =) because if you really really care and treat the person as your friend, even if the both of you dont meet for the next one year, you'll still be able to remember how they look like =)

water from christchurch! =) @ 11:02 pm

Current Mood: thoughtful thoughtful

 

haha seems like being early is a good thing because you get treated =)

anyways i was thinking and wondering why do people make promises when at the end of the day, they just break it.  think we often make people promise us things that we know eventually they wont be able to keep to it. because if they can even keep to it, we wont have to make them promise us. its like the more you feel that there's this boundary that you have to keep, you'll just wana break it. its like what people always say, rules are meant to be broken.
my point, don't make promises that you know there's even a slight possibility that you'll break it.

i never liked going into the topic of 'are you seeing someone'. it always feels like a really sensitive topic but you can never escape from it especially if you met up with a friend whom you havent seen in months. ohh wells.

so my timetable for my last sem is the worst timetable ever! 3 days of 8am classes, and every thursday, i have a 1 hour lecture and its at 5pm. that day will probably be self-declared holiday and no one's gonna go for lecture. maybe because i've always had 4 day week and since its the last sem, they wanna torture us. haha! =) i cant wait to graduate. and i've been syaing this since first year. time flies...
