midnight (or past midnight) post

yes, as you can see below, the time is 2:02 a.m. i think this is the latest (or earliest) i've been up this whole entire year. although i don't feel very sleepy..hmm..wonder why.. what can i say, i am a night person, through and through.. shan't elaborate. the sound of the keyboard is disturbing my mum. anw, here's the story for today: wake up, go to school, come home from school, lunch, study geog, tuition (had to write zuo wen again), study ss while eating dinner, study ss while watching survivor, study ss all the way until 1:20 a.m, read my bible, go online. yup, and all that ss was only 1 ch. luckily we're only tested on 2 for mid yrs. speaking of mid yrs, i'm currently behind schedule.. by half a ch of bio i think.. gotta catch up tmr. been really busy.. yup. was thinking of skipping church on sunday to study, since i'm soooo behind, but decided not to in the end. phoebs reminded me that if you honour god with your time, he'll honour you with blessings. something like that. so yup, i'm gonna go to church and be refreshed for the 2 weeks of exams ahead! and 2 weeks of cramming, of course. ahh.. 2:14. gotta sleep now.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

open the eyes of my heart lord..

looking back at my last entry and reading it over again, i ask myself "what am i so worked up for?" everything's gonna be fine cos God's here to help. He has a plan for all of us, and maybe this is just one of His plans, however wrong/bad they may seem, its all for our good in the future.. so with continuous prayer, i'm sure everything will work out fine. just hope that "fine" means the whole Ao1 being able to play for at least the offertory..

just spent the last dunno how many hours doing binomial theorem after studying the enzyme chapter for bio. hope i'll be able to finish studying everything in time.. we have more than 14 chapters for h chinese.. and just found out we're tested on map reading for geog exam. great.

today's been a HOT day as well. sigh, hope it rains soon. shall pray abt that. hmm.

k, gtg for dinner now. have a nice day!! :D

found these verses in this cute little Book Of Promises..

" "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." " ~Jeremiah 29:11

" Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." ~Matthew 6:34

problems...

back again... found out on sunday night that we have a BIG problem. lixin wants to concentrate on her studies and hence won't be drumming for the rest of the year until after her As!!! which means we find another drummer to play for the rest of the ichthuses, or one of us plays, or we do without a drummer. getting another drummer is on the top of our list though. dude spoke to soon theen and jae on sunday and decided that having Ao1 as KKMC's official youth band isn't such a great idea.. everyone should be given a chance, so ya.. kinda agree with it.. although its hard to accept.. oh wells. so anyway, i really don't know whats gonna happen to Ao1 for the rest of the year.. we were like, so strong and happy together and now.. its all sort of crumbling into little bits and pieces.. i pray to God that he'll give us the srength and help us to carry on no matter the circumstances.. PLEASE GOD!! help us to find a way!! i've asked faith and she said she's willing to drum for ichthus 3.. at least that's solved..

oh, but i just found out that there's an even BIGGER problem - lixin might not be able to play for the offertery even!!! oh PLEASE Lord!! give Ao1 the chance to be able to make AT LEAST that ONE appearance as a whole family for ONE song!!! i mean, this is like, a rare chance for all of us.. and it'd be a great experience too.. and now an EVEN BIGGER one - we MIGHT, just MIGHT be playing for Youth Sunday.. and its like, COMBINED SERVICE.. with THE WHOLE CHURCH POPULATION present.. and coincidentaly, or maybe not that coincidentaly, that's the jc exam period. which means the jc ppl (the sours [aka the 2 women, lixin and lihui, in case you don't know by now] and da ge) might not be able to play!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (wails of despair)

just pray that everything will work out fine.. sighz.. but as it says in the bible, with God, all things are possible, and that we have to have utmost faith in Him that everything will work out fine.

ANYWAY, yesterday was English paper 1 and H Chinese paper 1.. the compos.. they were quite ok.. although i'm a bit worried of my choice of topic.. cos for english i took a risk and chose the argumentative one.. chinese was ok too.. did yi lun wen.. hope all that tuition was put to good use.

oh wells, today was really hot.. hmph, hope it rains soon.. oh yes, speaking of hot, forgot to mention abt yesterday.. after the h chinese paper i was feeling kinda feverish.. dunno why.. was hot all over.. and then somehow i got really high. and i mean REALLY. man.. i was like, on cloud nine for a while there.. hmm..

shoots, and dude just pointed out another problem.. boon and jina should be stopping (to play) by youth sunday.. which is a few months away.. and another thing is that next year, will be kinda bad too.. because da ge will be going to the army, and i'll be having Os.. the thing is, we can get replacements for boon, jina and da ge. but what about me? who's gonna play the keyboard when i can't? anyone?? goodness.. i think Ao1 will be facing some major trials now.. and we'll be like, on standby or something.. not to be pessimistic, but, i guess its true if you think about it..

i realise that my entries have been pretty short recently (excluding this one) and i realise that i've used alot of caps locks and exclamation marks in this particular entry right now. oh wells.. i guess i'm gonna be online alot less now, since mids are next week.. really have to concentrate right now.. okaez.. shall stop here.. God Bless everyone!!

Lord I Give You My Heart, I Give You My Soul

went to chrch today.. it was pretty good.. went early cos abbie was playing for chapel.. kaya-ed for awhile, and then we started the saltshakers meeting..we decided that the theme for the next ichthus will be 'friends in christ'..discussed some other stuff too.. but didn't have much time.. for lg ek didn't come, so calvin lead today.. haha, its always so funny when ek does this to calvin.. everyone like to bully him, saying that we've gone through the lesson before.. so during lesson calvin was telling lame but cool (according to him) jokes.. then we went through the lesson abt untamed tongues.. then some ppl pestered him to bring us to macs.. so he agreed and a few of us went.. then we went back to church for service.. luckily we weren't late.. didn't wanna miss worship, which was quite good.. after service met at e front of the sanctuary w e rest of the Ao1s to discuss playing for offertory.. i think its gonna be 3 or 4 weeks frm now... can't wait for mid yrs to be over.. which is.. 12 May.. haiz..

oh, gave boon, dude and da ge the picks that i bought and drew on.. and brought my green ichthus tambourine.. which my mum gave me for a surprise early bday prezzie last week. haha.

wahh 10:10 alrd.. okok, will cont another time..

God Bless!

let everything that has breath praise the lord!

today was an okay day.. had the lit. presentation 1st period.. all the groups finally managed to finish presenting.. shern was sick again so we had to do e presentation without her..

oh, and chem was super - i dunno what-.. our temporary form tcher, ms lin, said it was time for prefect nominations.. i was talking w phoebs e other day and we couldn't think of anyone to nominate.. and in the end, 5 nominations appeared today. ironically, mine was first on the list. -.+... oriana nominated and phoebs seconded (how dare you two!) haven't told any of my family members yet though. not sure whether i should reject.. hmmm..oh wells, i'll pray abt it.

maths was mad. she gave us like, more than 50 questions to do in the TYS for A and E maths. oh man.. which reminds me- eng and h chinese paper 1 is this monday!! goodness.. better be off studying!! can't wait for church this sunday..

dadadadada

oh i found something to blog about! NAFA. yes, NAFA. had 5 items ytd.. wasn't too bad, but now i'm aching all over. now how to run 2.4 tmr??? just hope that i don't get a D, which was what i got last year.. oh wells, pray to God that i'll get at least a C! if i do, then i'll be able to get a gold!!! :D hahaha.. i was actually quite surprised that i got an A for inclined pull ups.. i did 18, which is like WOW for me.. haha..

exams are nearing.. my first paper is THIS COMING MONDAY!!! english and h chinese compo..but the second paper onwards are all on the next week until 12 May.. gosh, i haven't even drawn up my schedule!! die die die.. and my test results haven't been all that good these few weeks.. :( :(

oh wells, i'd have shared these beautiful versus i came across in Philippians 3 and 4, but i haven't bathed yet! haha, shall share the next time. tata!

YAY MY COM IS FIXED!!!

yup, as u can see frm e title, my com is fixed! e com man came ytd to fix it up. but i'm using e sch com now.. have extra phy lesson later. which means i have to leave in like, 5 mins. ok.

sunday was ok.. had e Saltshakers meeting and stuff.. i'm programme ic along w andrew. dude is e one sitting on e chair, jon zhang is secretary/treasurer, ah boy is logistics ic.. great. 3 minutes left.

this wk so far has been ok.. started preparing a bit for mids. really short of time.. cram cram cram.. sigh.

oh wells.. not much to say. good thing too.. have to leave real soon, or else ah loh's gonna start complaining.. oh ya, we changed seating position ytd.. dun think some are happy w it though. but oh wells, its for e gd of the class. man, super hungry, can't eat lunch. oh wells. i hear the call of physics!

com's down..again!!!

yes, as you can see from the title, my com is down again, cos my dad was trying to reformat it again and then messed it up again..which means i have to wait until next wk (my dad has to check his schedule) where my dad'll call the man to come and fix it. so if my com is down, then how in the world am i blogging right now? well, i'm using the school com. yes, i'm in the com lab right now.. oh ya, i still have piano later, so better hurry..

ok..i shall start from sunday.. went to church early to kaya.. dude was 1st, then i was 2nd.. and then the rest just came streaming in..all except da ge of course.. so when i came dude passed me my plastic bag w the vid cam inside (the sound still wasn't working) and i just peeked inside and started to study geog.. then when the rest came in dude started giving them these cds.. and i was the only one he didn't pass it to.. so i was like 'hmmm, how come i don't have?' so i went to look ard at everyone's and realised it was an Ao1 cd!! on the cover was a pic of most of the Ao1s and it was personalised with everyone's very own name on it.. the cd consisted of the songs we played for ichthus 2 (well, most of them anyway) including lift up your eyes and hakuna matata! so i was wondering why i didn't get the cd.. and then looked into the plastic bag w my vid cam and realised tt it was in there! man, i was so blur.. haha.. oh, and we gave ah boy his bday prezzie too.

so we went for lg and then service, where the contempt team played 3 of the songs we sang for ichthus 3.. blessed be your name, LIFT UP YOUR EYES and through it all (they played it when service ended) and i can honestly say that the break for lift up your eyes was, well, weird. i was like 'huh? that's the break?' like, even my sis said that we played it better at ichthus.. haha. well i was just glad that we were able to sing and praise god..

then after service went for lunch w ah boy and dude.. went to look for ichthus keychains but to no avail.. so that night i went out for dinner w my family and coincidentaly stumbled upon a christian shop that sold ichthus keychains! and they were green plastic, exactly e same as boon's! so of course i got 7 of them (cos boon has already) and some bookmarks which i intend to gove on a special occasion.. haven't thought of which one yet though..

monday was kinda low for me.. we got back 3 tests.. geog (frm last term) bio and Emaths.. geog was ok.. but bio was the killer. i totally flunked it.. although i didn't fail, i was expecting to do better than i did.. so what if the highest in my class was 29/40? so what if my class did the best in the level (least failures)? so what if it was just one silly test? i wasn't even in the top 10 in my class! (unlike in the previous tests).. not to boast, but ya. i was really disappointed. and yes, i admit, i cried. i think its one of the first tests i've cried over.. oh well, to date i've gotten over it already.. oh yes and Emaths wasn't too bad.. at least i was in the top 10 for that..

i started to learn canon in d on the piano a few days ago.. asked my piano tcher but she doesn't have the original scores. the ones i have aren't original.. just the basic.. oh wells, can't really figure out the fast part.

ahhhhh... haven't started studying for mid years!! and i still have that stupid book review to do by monday! and my com is down so i can't type it out!! ahhhhh... mid years are only 3 wks away for gdness sake.. oh yes, and PFT is next week!! sigh, these few weeks are not going to be pleasant.

ok hmmm anything else to talk abt? oh, i tried to go to friendster just now, but i don't think the school com allows it. oh wells.. hope my com can be fixed asap!!! ah and i just remembered.. have to go for west div day on saturday. urgh. i don't wanna go.. i need to study!! this saturday is also e bittersweet concert.. i'm going! yay..

okie, i'd better stop now.. gotta go home.. sighz.. i hope it rains for the next few days.. love rain.

deedeedadoo

ok looong story.. last night my dad tried to reformat the com, but he kinda messed it up and said he had to call the com man do fix it up.. so i thought that the com couldn't be used.. and so i was feeling so uncomfortable the whole day cos i really wanted to use the com so bad.. and then guess what.. when i came home my dad said it could be used, but he still had to get the man to come and fix the sound thing.. sigh la. the whole afternoon! for nothing! and now its so late so i can't blog too long.. i'll talk abt everything tmr.. figure that would be a better option than to blog everything now.. considering the fact that my sis wants to use the com after me, i haven't bathed, and still have one whole zuo wen to do.. okk that sounds bad.. i'd better stop now..

btw.. got back 3 tests today.. and the rain is finally back! i love rainy days now.. during the few days when it didn't rain, my inspiration suddenly disappeared.. just evaporated like the water on the ground.. somehow rain just gives me this calm, peaceful serenity.. makes me stop and think about things, and enjoy mother nature, god's creation.. and therefore a lack of inspiration results in a lack of poems, and hence you haven't seen any since one of the last rainy days.. rain is cool. i love rain. oh yes, was learning the basics of canon just now on the piano. cool. okie, will be back to update tmr or wed!

rain down on me, rain down on me

2nd post of the day...

i've realised alot of things since my last post (which was a few hours ago. those who haven't read it, go and read!)

i've realised i missed out alot of things when i was talking abt the taiwan girls..so here i go!

they actually wanted to go to little india.. but then cao and cass weren't so familiar with it (although i'm quite but not that all familiar w it..cos KKMC's there!) and there's nothing much to do there.. so we decided to bring them to orchard instead..oh yes and they were so funny when cao told them at giordano that e umbrellies were 1/2 price on a rainy day..and one of the taiwan girls was like, "pls rain, pls rain!" hahahaha so cute! and then when we went to kalms, cao and i were squealing over the cute little beanies!!! there was what, mr bean, mrs bean, horny bean, etc.. THEY ARE SO CUTE AND I WANT ONE!!! *hint hint* hahahaha.. jkjk.. oh ya, and we saw andrea decruz when we were walking out of taka.. she looked super high class mann...well ya, so that was some of what i missed out earlier.. next!

i realise that ppl are talking more abt BGRs now..including some of my friends.. and like they're all over the papers, on tv, in general discussions.. its kinda hard not to notice. well, i, personally, think that now is too early to be getting into one, (although some of my friends think otherwise), what with all the acedemics and stuff..and i don't think i'm ready either. i mean, its alot of committment, for one.. and it could also be really stressful ya know..distracting me from my main focus right now, which is studies..and it could also distract me from God, our heavenly father.. i mean, ya, i'm glad to be serving Him right now with my music and other stuff, and i hope to be able to continue to do that for a long long long long long long long time.. until maybe i die. its weird imagining myself in a relationship.. so weird.. (ok this is kinda personal, so ya, thanks for bearing with me) and when do i think is the right time? well, definitely not for another 2 years.. i guess some of you might understand.. i mean, not like i'm saying its wrong or anything.. just that, its what i feel, personally. ok, next!

i realised that i didn't play a single note on my piano yesterday. and i realise that i was withholding myself from doing so, since it was so late when i came back. this just made me realise how devastating life could get if piano were to suddenly disappear from my life, and have nothing to do with me anymore. what if one day something happened to my hands, and i wouldn't be able to play anymore? what if one day someone took away the piano from me? i figure it would be bad. real bad. if you know what i mean. although my piano playing skills aren't all that great, and like, i'm not even at grade 5, it still means alot to me. i'd rather fail one of my exams than have piano stolen from my life.. because its how i serve God, and how i tell Him i love Him. a certificate is just a piece of paper, what really matters is what God thinks.

"I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever, I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever"

lalala

i realise i haven't been online for like..2 days.. yesterday and thursday..but i have good reasons for that.

thursday i had to study for h chinese test (which was yesterday and i left out 2 blanks.. so dead) and then at night i had tuition. which was super funny (but boring la, cos it was tuition mah) cos fei mao and michelle were there too and we were talking non stop..at some points..haha..and i managed to finish my yi lun wen! used up 4 sheets of paper again.. stayed back for 30 extra mins to finish it up.. and i was the last one left. :( unfair.. feimao and mich left before they cld finish it up cos they had to 'study for h chinese test' (hello like i don't) and said they wld pass it up next week. oh wellz, at least i don't have to finish anything up and got it over and done with.. which reminds me.. we have to pass up another yi lun wen for school on tuesday. shoots.

yesterday was a pretty interesting day.. the whole of the sec 3 cohort had to host these taiwan students.. then everyone buddied up.. like, a few mg girls to a few taiwan girls.. i grouped w cao and cass.. and we got 4 taiwain girls.. and i forgot to prepare a present for them so we only had 2 presents to give.. anyway, we brought them out to orchard first.. ate at taka food court and then went to look at the art shops, kino and the orchard library upstairs. i hadn't been any higher than kino b4.. never knew abt the shops upstairs.. oh ya, then it was super funny cos one of the taiwan girls mistook bras for hats!! lol..

so after taka we brought them to heeren.. bought some ice cream on the way.. sat at the fountain at heeren to finish up the ice cream, although i didn't finish up mine cos it was melting rapidly and i discovered i was bleeding somewhere inside my mouth.. hmm.. then after that we went up to do some shopping! haha, i realised that the taiwan girls liked the vintage shop, spending quite alot of time in there.. then we went to take neos! too bad i don't have a scanner so can't scan them in.. but maybe i'll try taking a pic of them later.. hmm.. wah..the 7 of us squished into the little place and it was super tiring trying to pose for 12 whole shots.. my jaw muscles a bit pain after that.. ah, but the taiwan girls decorated the neos until super nice lor.. here there everywhere also got sparkly stars, flowers whatever.. that was fun..

oh yes! i managed to buy this pair of earings i had been wanting for so long.. at 77th street at heeren.. hehe, won't say what they look like.. i'll most prob be wearing them tmr :D

so after shopping (it was time for dinner! how time flies...) we brought them to newton for dinner.. we ordered stingray, satay, chicken wings, ice kachang... mann, by the time we were done, i was so bloated and could feel my stomach growing like, 10 inches...

after that we brought them back to the hotel..(lots of interesting and funny details, but i'm too lazy to type) and we managed to get back before 9! even though we missed the bus.. oh ya, and the taiwan girls gave us these cute notebooks and some other stuff as prezzies.. and we felt so guilty that we only cld give them 2..(even if i brought there still wouldn't be enough) so we wrote a little note to them and we exchanged email adds.. wow, we were all so tired after that.. we were too lazy to take a bus so we just shared a cab.. that was one really fun day..and a great learning experience of course..

ah great.. dude told me that the sound of my vid cam isn't really working.. may be the connection.. oh wellz, we'll see how tmr..

and i've got geog test on monday and physics test -on dunno which day- next week! luckily chinese oral is this monday, if not i would be having my h chinese test on the same day as geog.. so that's been pushed to next monday.. phew.. i pity the b2 girls and the rest of the a3 girls who're having oral next monday.. ppl like cass who take h chinese and geog will be having 2 tests this monday..

greatt.. nafa is 2 weeks away.. i've gotta find time to start running..

anyways, can't wait for kaya-ing tmr.. i found out that kaya means rich.. haha.. oh wells, its been almost an hour since i came online.. and i just remembered i have to compose that bridge for destination:heaven.. i was doodling out some lyrics the other day.. but not sure whether they'll fit..

ah well, till next time, take care everyone! dumdeedumdeedum

(oh yes, lulu tagged phoebe's blog!!! rem lulu? my instructor frm OBS??? lulu!!! OBS!! bobby!!!)

another rainy day

today was quite a nuetral day.. i was high at some parts, but pretty low at others. i was high, according to phoebs, while we were walking to the canteen for recess..and phoebs got high in the com lab during lit.

oh yes, which reminds me - h chinese lesson was super funny and super entertaining!! we were actually supposed to just discuss within our group about this case - a woman got sick and bcame a vegetable, and so euthanasia was performed. then we were assigned different roles, like the husband, the parents, a human rights organisation etc. my grp was the parents. then we were supposed to report to the class why we took the syand that we did (whether euthanasia was right or not) and then we would ask other grps questions abt their stand. the discussion part within our groups was quite funny, cao and cass were cracking jokes abt vegetables (although its quite mean) and were appointing themselves as kangkong and xiao bai cai.. the reporting part was ok..the really hilarious part was when the grps were supposed to ask each other questions. lao shi said we cld only ask questions, and not add anything extra that we wanted to say to our stand.. but the topic was so... debatable and fired up, the so called 'discussion' was turned into a debate..and the class just like erupted in..in..whatever you call it..arguments..and it was just so funny cos ppl kept on interrupting each other and lao shi was losing control of the class and she was shouting "Stop! Stop!" hahahahaha..a chinese tcher shouting something like that..beat that! oh ya, and that was right before recess so maybe thats one of the reasons why i got high..

oh, and there was E maths test today.. not that bad.. although i was struggling with one of the questions, i finally managed to do it, with the help of God. i was just praying and praying for Him to help me figure it out, and i did in the end! Praise the Lord!

oh well, nothing much to say already.. just that its been another rainy day.

and i just recieved some shocking news. (ok, maybe not very shocking cos i could kinda tell)

i shall not comment.

Poems, Inspiration, Rain

today was another rainy day..not as bad as yesterday though. oh wellz, but its nice to have rain all day for a change.

rain -
sweeps away our troubles,
cleanses us of our sins
just like Jesus' blood
by it,
we were redeemed

rain -
washes away the dirt
brings a pure, new beginning
a magical natural wonder
i watch in awe
Praise Him!

just came up with that on the spot. its raining now.. gosh, what is all this rain doing to me? i seem to be getting a lot of inspiration to write poems all of a sudden. i just wrote 2 more today in class! i'll post it in here later.

anyway, my eng tcher didn't come today..maybe she has hives again. oh wells, so we got an hour free. i haven't done my oral presentation yet! must rem to do it later. oh yes, E maths test tmr. mann, i am so blur! (queen ssotong mah) i realise i was revising through the A maths 'quad. expressions and eqtns' worksheets instead of E maths 'solutions to quad. eqtns' for the online assignment! phew, luckily i discovered it before studying for the actual test. spent abt 2 hrs revising and practicing just now.

i've realised that recently my entries have been super duper long. or have i said that already? ya, i think i mentioned it in my last post. i think alot more has been happening inside of me lately. my mind's been in a whirlwind, especially today..after last night.. i don't know why but this morning i was feeling ok..but during the last 2 periods of the day i was suddenly just filled with deep trouble. i was feeling very troubled..about some issues.. shall not talk abt them here as they're quite personal..

so these are the 2 poems i wrote. the first one was in the morning, during english when my tcher wasn't here. for the second one, the last half of it was written in my troubled state. the transition was somewhere in the middle i guess.



Creations

His creations, whether great or small
Fascinate me, one and all

The mountains of fire, the dazzling sea
The blooming buds, on the tall canopy
The pellets of rain, falling merciless on the ground
The shining ball, of fire so round
The breath of fresh air, the whooshing of wind
The living creatures, and their souls within

If only this dwelling, were so beautiful and pure
It would be a better story, really, for sure
And we would rejoice, giving praise to the One above
Abiding in His everlasting grace, mercy and love



That Burden

Has the rain passed?
Has the sun reappeared?
Have the first rays of light
Peeked down from heaven
To bring warmth and cheer?

Is the storm finally over?
Has the bend turned straight?
All the hurdles and mountains
Dwelling for so long
Have at last been conquered?

How long more
Till I see the close
The light at the end of the tunnel
That one pot of gold
The breath of fresh air
After the long submerge

It lingers on my mind,
Harbours in my heart
Its been a burden so heavy,
A rock weighing down
Go away I plead
Leave me in peace
Why creep up into my life?
The doubt will never fade...



maybe you may not be sure of what i want to express in this poem, but thats all right.. as long as i myself know.

it warms my heart that one of the lines in my poem, To Play, (posted in my last entry) actually wants to be borrowed for a song! the line is "i step into a song" ... dude wants to use it for a song he's writing.. no prob, as long as its copyrighted!! haha.. oh wells, hope you've enjoyed the poems! tata -

yesterday, today, tomorrow??

yesterday was a good hairday. whoo hoo!

yesterday was an interesting and... peculiar day for me. hmm. but i shall keep my comments to myself for now.

anw, yesterday went to church early..abt 8:15 cos abbie was playing for chapel. so went up to e seminar room to study for bio. then boon came and told me that the pope had died. haha. i was like "harh?".. then we waited for the rest to come..dude came w ah boy cos ah boy stayed over at dude's place..(da ge didn't come for it) so we started a bit late..sang a few songs. lord i lift your name on high, by your blood, god will make a way, lift up your eyes and god of wonders.. we didnt get to do any sharing or stuff..just sang..no time..then went for lg. ek was teaching, and faith gave me my letter and i burst out laughing at one part..seriously la, what she said was so so mean, but hilarious as well..

after lg went to eat porridge and then went for contempt. then b4 worship started victor lai mentioned Ao1! not our worship family exactly, but abt god being our Audience of One, and we're all "performing" for him and him alone, giving glory to him. so cool! (since dude hadn't mentioned that we were called Ao1 to him) oh ya, by then i had 6 cds in my bag alrdy. 3 from dude, who burned his whole cd collection for me, 2 from boon (echoeded pics and best of avalon cd), and 1 more from jae (ichthus 2 pics)..

after service lion was gonna treat us to swensons ice cream!!! the ichthus 2 comm, the skit ppl and Ao1..at first there were supposed to be like..16 ppl or so.. but then in the end only 7 went..so while we waited outside for dude and da ge to come out frm debrief, i took e opportunity to study bio again.. then jae and lion were helping me rem stuff.

then finally when the 2 guys came out we headed for bugis junction. on the way da ge was helping me out w bio..picking out e impt points to study. so we reached swensons. there were 7 ppl, like i've mentioned earlier. they were lion, boon, dude, ah boy, da ge, andrew and me. wah, eating out w 6 guys and you're e only girl, its no joke i tell u. we ordered the earthquake..and it was superly randomnly mixed after awhile.. i think i ate the most ice cream.. in the end lion and i were left to finish it.. e rest gave up. haha.i ate..4 cherries i think.. haha, andrew was telling me that they'd take 7 months to digest, but oh wellz. after finishing up we all went back.. da ge walked me to bread talk where my parents were picking me up..but in the end they ended up fetching him to PS.

i really think i ate too much ice cream.. had a stomach ache all the way till 6 plus.. when i got back home i just sat down on my bed and stayed in that position for like, 10 minutes.. didn't even bother to put down my bag or anything. just plopped right there. maybe it was everyones saliva mixed up in there. hmmm.

that night stayed up to revise bio.. haha, da ge and boon sent me smses to wish me gd luck for the test. in the end slept at 11 plus, close to 12..

speaking of bio, the test today, well, it wasn't that bad.. it was upon 40 for a change, when usually its upon 25..but there were like, 2 questions. the first one had 9 parts.. second had 5 or 6. mann.. then had to draw graph and diagram as well. hope i do well though.

yay, my dad's coming home later to fix up the com and the video!! yipee! speaking of my dad, he came home from the US yesterday..left last sat, on e day of ichthus.

oh wells, i've been realising that my entries have been super duper long lately.. hmm. not like anything much has been happening in my life lately.. anw, going to eat dinner now. yum yum!!

(thanks to:
jae, lion and da ge, for helping me out w bio
dude, boon and jae, for the cds
da ge and boon, for the good luck wishes)

oh yes, before i leave, i've got something. its a poem i wrote today during maths. haha, hope u enjoy it!

To Play

The smooth white ivory tiles
Dance beneath my fingers
They flow, they glide - a river
Their sweet laughter
Fills the air - a melodious harmony

I step into a song
My spirit floats with joy
To play for a purpose -
For Him alone
It's my life, it's my all

wahh.. yesterday was shiong mann..abbie's friend's dad fetched us to toa payoh swimming complex..we were a bit late cos of the jam.. luckily we didn't get booked.. so i had guide duty..i was "starter" with 3 other friends.. we were put in charge of "guarding" the area where the swimmers start their race.. at the edge of the pool. yes, i got the dirty (well not exactly dirty, cos i wasn't in trash) job of having to chase ppl out of that area..oh wellz..the synchro items were nice..haha, and jackson won the tcher's race! and the overall champion was jackson once again!! for the dunno how many time running..go jackson!!

well, after everyone had left we still had to stay back and clear up after everyone.. :( i was super tired.. didn't get to sit down very much..then took a cab back home with abbie and her friend.

when i came back, had lunch.. went to do the online maths assignment.. not sure if its counted though. well at least i did better than the last Amaths one.. i PASSED...then went to read some blogs.. i was restraining myself to sign in to msn.. was opening and closing the stupid window again and again.. well at least i succeeded in not signing in in the end.. ah, but i fulfilled only half of my promise of not to go online..

that night i had zuo wen ban (chinese compo writing)...it was so-!!! how do i explain it.. coincidental, i guess.. we had to write yi lun wen on how sec school students face all the pressure and stress from school and family, so they have to go for counselling and therapy.. the first thing i thought of was "Ichthus 2"! and then there was more.. there was this part abt students not living up to their parents' expectations, and as a result the parents scold them and nag at them, and even cut their pocket money!!! wow!! hahahahaha..it was so funny and coincidental!! gosh..too bad i didn't mention the "wah si lin lau bu" part in my compo..but then again, if i did i would've failed miserably..

today i woke up at 1 (shiok!).. was woken up by my mum cos she was out and called to ask me to check something at home for her. if she hadn't done that, god knows when i'd have slept until.. ohohoh.. and i ate like, SO MUCH food.. cos i missed breakfast, so it was kinda breakfast cum lunch for me.. had this chicken pie, plus 2 big fat sausages! i was SOOO stuffed after that.. couldn't even walk properly!! haha.. i was bloated like a big fat pig. (da ge should be proud of me) then i studied the whole chapter on enzymes..it wasn't so bad..not as bad as they next chapter i have to study - NUTRITION. can u believe it?? NUTRITION. i mean like, that is just so general..i mean there's like practicall EVERYTHING in it.. vitamins, carbo, fats, proteins..and there's like, sub topics to everyone of those types of food.. therefore the chapter is like a whole book long. yup, thats right. so i am gonna DIE studying it. but wait a minute.. if that's the case, why am i still online??? argh..

so now i havta study the whole chapter on nutrition, do "a few" maths worksheets, and chinese summary, all by monday. gosh. luckily my h.chinese test is pushed back to friday.. or else it'd be on monday and i wld've really died over the weekend. ok, maybe not that serious la..

oh yes, which reminds me.. lion's gonna treat the whole comm to swensons ice cream tmr!!!!!!!!!!! including the skit ppl and Ao1.. I WANT ICE CREAM!!! i love pistachio the best.. yum!!! and i should be able to go, since my chinese test was pushed back.. yipee!!!

oh yes, which reminds me again.. i finally finished the design for the Ao1 tshirt! just that the logo in the middle is missing cos we haven't really decided on that yet.. oh..oops, i haven't started on the bridge for destionation:heaven yet..sorry guys! will do it asap! oh and the video..yes.. i figured out how to download it into the com..but guess what.. the darn thing is taped on a cassette, not a memory card! and i can't seem to transfer it frm the tape to the memory card.. argh..stupid video cam.. sorry guys, we'll just have to wait another week.. :(

anyways, with all that aside, can't wait for tmr.. haha, i'm always looking forward to sundays, which i guess is probably a good thing..cos going to church really lets me take a break from all the stress of school.. and it reminds me of god..how much he's done for me, and how happy i am to be able to praise him..

i love you Lord
