i still can't find my balance of payments notes:|
had the 'inspiration' to actually go on blackboard and see if the teachers are kind enough to post the papers online...but apparently, i'm not enrolled into the course for econs. instead, i have extra courses like physics, maths S paper and chemistry.
how amusing.
can't stand it. going to cook spaghetti again.
i have a feeling i'm going to become obese by the end of this year at the rate i'm eating...after the 1 and a half month of pure mugging before the As...
cooking has a calming effect:P

I did it in 18 seconds.
I deserved an A-!!
Take the How Dexterous Are You? Quiz!!
i haven't really been properly studying these two days :| started playing backgammon on the net and didn't really keep track of time. quite an easy game to play. hahaa.
it feels as if the common tests were over and holidays are coming again:|
and i've been doing and thinking about other stuff other than econs and bio. thinking about university (again:| still thinking between nus and smu. different stuff to consider:|), thinking about end of year (wow. that's fast), playing games, buying stuff to stock up at home (spaghetti, butter waffles:D), feeding the cat who periodically comes to my house for food (more specifically lunch time and dinner time), looking for my bop forex notes that suddenly went missing (okay, that's gotta do a little with econs), planning, watching cartoons...
i think i'm procrastinating.
nonono. scratch that. i am procrastinating.
i don't feel the urgency of studying for my dear adorable tests anymore:|ECONS! KEYNESIAN. ah. i love keynesian. dunno why pple say it's horrible. hahaha:D
i'd better go and get a verse from the bible to keep in mind whenever i wish to procrastinate from now on:|

i have half a mind to actually just abandon studying econs and go out or something. the construction work downstairs is really irritating me.
scanning my computer now... downloaded AVG anti-virus system 'cos my macafee doesn't seem to update itself. goodness knows why. anyway, the anti-virus system is completely free and you can get it from here with no strings attached:) hahaha. advertiser. comes complete with updates and all..
ooh. the construction work stopped. okay. cool. time for econs:D

idiosyncrasy is an unusual personality trait:)
disastrously sleepy right now. hahaha. maths was better than i thought. still not very fun. question 2(i), 3, 4 and 5 were all... well. not very friendly to me:) surprisingly the back questions were easier.
'cos those questions had trigo and differentiation! i never studied these two. quite cool to be able to realise that what type of integration to use immediately though. hhahaa:D and gosh. they cheated our feelings. said we've gotta studied coordinate geometry, vectors and complex numbers...well. in the end, very little of each of these three came out. there was no need for vectors at all 'cos it was a 3D trigo question:)
gp...haha. had a nice time writing the gp compo.. wrote question 5 which was something like 'the young people today never had it better. Do you think this is true in Singapore?' relatively fun to write. hahaha:D comprehension was not very friendly though... it's not that the questions are difficult..it's just that afternoon's not a very nice time to do paper..the afternoon snoozes caught up with me and i had a hard time keeping awake. thank God for huiling's two sweets which actually lasted through the entire 3 hours:D wow. God multiplied the volume of the sweet:D
we met in the morning to pray for the exams:D quite an interesting time. hahaha.
let me be proactive about rest.

taking a break from studying..continuing later. hahaha:D doing maths questions..
i know it's supposed to be quite a bad idea to study late the night before...but then i dun have exams on tuesday...nor on wed. so yup. hahaha:D after tonight, there's time for ample rest again:D
i have no idea why the common tests this time feel so much more like real exams. hahaha:D it's strange. 'cos the last batch of common tests felt...normal. i think it's 'cos we had a lot of time to study this time and 'cos the j1s are having their exams. hahaha:D
ooof.
was studying with xinyi, joanna, meizhen and lincoln at emerald bk this evening when we decided to make a pact to study every sunday till the A levels from now on. hahaha:D we even signed a contract (made by me!) though it wasn't really formal and everything. going to touch up on it when we have time, so that should there be anyone deciding not to study out of pure laziness, the contract will be flashed to the person to scare him/her. hahahaa:D kiddin' actually it's to see who's coming 'cos we're changing the location weekly.
whoever wants to join us can join us! hahaha:D so cool. i think if there're a lot of pple, we'll just split back into our own caregroups.
yeah!
went to steph's house to get the formula list to photocopy (didn't photocopy in the end 'cos came home too late), then walked from steph's house to fungi's house to pass her the envelope. her doorbell works! got quite a shock when her dad opened the door and called out my name. ended up staying for a while at her house at the suggestion of her dad to stay for a while and chat. *grInz*
hey fungi, happy birthday once again:D we'll keep in touch, yah? hahaha.

whoa...
i woke up this morning feeling all jittery and anxious 'cos the fact that maths common test is tomorrow suddenly hit me.
i think it's the idea of maths common test being the first paper...hahaha:D i dun feel anxious about GP or bio or econs...hahaha:D
i'm suddenly reminded of mrs chan's words from last yr to last yr's j2s... 'it's time for an exponential increase in grades':P
normally if it's just for me, i'll like to be able to simply waffle through everything. hahaa. but i can't now. everything i'm doing, i'm going it for God. and one particular verse is stuck in my heart ... 2 Timothy 2:15 'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth'.
last day:)
i look forward to revising integration though... actually i do love maths..i love maths when i can do all the questions:P hahaha:D it's such a nice feeling to be able to complete one qn after another without stopping. hahaha.
'i will say of the Lord,"He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom i trust"'

wooohooo. hahaha:D going for a gala premiere for the first time was an interesting experience. hahaha:D
spiderman 2's gala premiere was held at cathay cineleisure:D hehe.
sis had to surrender her hp to the security at level 1 'cos it can take photos... then we went up to level 2 and there were ushers to usher us especially through buttercup coffee to the other side instead of having to walk one big round..hahaha:D that was the first 'privilege'. then we went up to the fifth level...they actually closed the entire ticketing booth area on level 5 from 7-10pm especially for this event and there was dinner! hahaha. there was a buffet...quite a high class one. haha... as well as people wearing quite formal wear walking around... drinks came in champagne glasses (goodness knows why) and food was refilled constantly. it looked kinda like a formal party actually, with people gathering in small groups and talking amongst themselves. quite an interesting atmosphere.
saw lots of tcs artistes... saw wong qing hai (hahaha! qing's choice!), jeff wong, lai yilin, cai ying ying (melissa), pan lingling and her husband and her two sons, huang biren, zeng shi mei(priscilla) and some other channel 5 and channel 8 artistes i can't remember the names of...also saw the members of train! hahaa.
mrs goh chok tong was actually standing beside me before i realised that she was standing beside me ..only realised it when the cameras started to gather around. sister and i were quite trapped 'cos we had the tcs artistes in front of us and mrs goh chok tong beside us and the wall behind us. hahaha.
got signatures 'cos sister wanted them...wanted to help qing get the autograph of wong qing hai...we tailed him but he was eating, so we decided it's not good to disturb, then after eating, he was talking to his friend and then he went into the theatre.
before going into the theatre, we had to go through a security scan again and before going into the theatre, we were each given a lollipop stuck inside a spiderman thing..dunno wat it's called. at our seats, there was a notebook with spiderman featured on the front page.
and spiderman 2 was good! gosh. the shooting, the cinematography was wonderful! but quite scary at the front part. and the sound. whoa. the sound system was...
whoa. the sound was so visual.
and after the movie ended (go watch it!!! 4 and a half stars recommendation!), we were all given a packet of drink. hahaha.
i think the whole aim of a gala premiere is to make the guest feel pampered. haha. quite amusing.
interesting experience anyway. but nothing compared to the star whom i met in the afternoon!
He rocks!
He's more dashing than the most dashing person and has made millions and trillions of people fall in love with Him. Over the years, all other stars fade away, but gosh! People fall over in love with Him again and again and again, all through the century, all through the years.
When you focus on your attention on Him, gosh...nothing else can take your breath away more than Him. He makes think of Him alone and all my troubles, all my worries, they become so teeny weeny you can hardly see them.
and the best of all, i can talk to Him everyday! what more can i ask for?;)

i realise that i have high expectations of the people around me in some areas.
why ah?
i think it's 'cos i know that i can do it, and i know that if i can do it, other people can do it too.
but everyone's different, yah?
yes. everyone's different.
xinying, remember that okay?
okay!:D
anyway, a piece of good news! hahaha. a link from 5 yrs ago is connected! hahaha. so unexpected. so intriguing. yes! may more links be made!:D friendster rocks. hahaha.

gosh. my brain neurons feel like they've thickened or something after an entire afternoon of maths.thank God for twin who's there to be my maths advisor. hahaha:D
qing was doing econs and twin was doing gp...and physics. serene macs grew colder and colder as we studied...thankfully the afternoon snoozes were away or else i'll really just fall asleep. hahaha:D
thank God for mamee's cheese flavoured rice-sticks which we kept attacking as well. and for qing who treated me to an ice cream cone. hahaha.
we realised that 98.7fm kept playing songs from the same band...we heard two songs from linkin' park, two songs from westlife and can't remember who else...quite a lot of pple. oh! we heard some songs twice. hahaha.
saw steph on 153 on the way there..hahaha. quite amusing. i went up the bus and then there was steph. so strange. hhaaa.
saw shauna and her sister today too..haha. shaun's got an interesting hairstyle now.
oooh. trace cut her hair even shorter. so jitsy is being pressurized from most sides to get her hair cut...maybe i should try convincing huixian to cut too...hmm. jits said she'll cut after exams though:D
God spoke to me just through the verse John 14:1 and Phil 4:4-7. i will trust You Lord! i will trust You!

for Your faithfulness to me
i'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
through it all-
was talking to qing last night too. hahaha. about long time ago memories and what-nots. i really pity those policemen who have to solve a crime that has been committed like 12 or 20 yrs ago... we were trying to trace pple and events 5 yrs ago and it was already quite hard. hahaha.
studying with twin and qing later. they can make friends with each other. hahaha:D three more days for maths! gosh. let me get into maths mood. do maths. maths! math. beth. macbeth:P
i love math, okay?:D
math is my favourite subject. well, it isn't really, but it shall be. hahaha. math is my favourite subject! yeah! i love trigonometry, i love integration, i love differentiation:D hahahaha. and statistics! how can i forget statistics:D they're such a joyful bunch of topics to study for. the seemingly gray border between every different type of distribution unless you know each of their specific characteristics.
thrilling;)
gosh. was looking for lyrics when i saw something in the hopemm folder which said 'worship night 16th june...' did it really happen?
-You are my desire
no one else will do
'cos nothing else can take Your place
to feel the warmth of Your embrace-

\1 life... live it for Jesus.\
was talking to twin on the phone when what she said shocked me and made me realise that indeed, how unpredictable and fragile life can be. the urgency of everything strikes me once again. and how timely God places everything amazes me as well. thank God that the sister is now with Jesus.
...
i seriously don't know what to say. hahaha. i wish that people will just see that Jesus is the only way, the only truth and the only life... everyone of us has a God-sized hole...and only Jesus can fill it... nothing else. regardless of pop-stars, studies, relationships...it'll never fill the vacuum in our heart for God's love. You can gain the whole earth, but if you forfeit your soul, what's the use. you'll never be truly fulfilled, truly joyful. don't people realise that we feel the slightest nudge of emptiness inside us, it's already God trying to tell us that 'hey! you need me in your life. Deny it no more.' and that's the statement i'll leave behind tonight.
Deny it no more.

had cg at tampines today..hehe. we ate at burger king together and wrote cards of encouragement to the person on the left and right of us 'cos exams are coming and as the bible say in proverbs - 'he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed'. yeah well:) got something from jiali which quite surprised me. haha.
anyway, we went down an aged home which i can't remember the name of... just remembered that it's at 130 hougang ave 1 and was terribly hard to find. hahaa. felt strange there 'cos we didn't really know what to do..the brothers and sisters started to disperse around to talk to the old folks and i did the same. i never really know how to interact with them 'cos i don't have grandparents. some old folks were quite willing to chat, some not so willing, some wanted to chat but i couldn't understand them...gwen kept singing songs to fill up the silence gap and song dedications from the old folks were flying around. i wish we could do something more than just entertaining them like this.. they need company which we can't provide in just an hour or so. nevertheless, hope some of them enjoyed the company:)
it's doing cip that made me consider the path of a social worker or a lifetime volunteer... the down syndrome kids, the people in the one room flats, the elderly in aged homes and hospitals... i don't want to just touch-and-go:P
yet i know that my strength is not in there. it's not completely my heart's desire to go to that path. hmm. dunno. i process better and express better when i talk everything out. and sometimes what i speak surprises myself even.
i guess that's why i was 'aaron' and jitsy was 'moses' hahahaha! right jitsy?
anyway after the trip to the aged home, going home was quite confusing 'cos everyone seemed to be unsure of how to get to anywhere. was following the west sisters when i realised that they were going to take a bus. i figured that if i kept walking in the same direction, i'll reach kovan sometime or another 'cos when i jumped onto dancing's car last time, the car passed by that area before, so i roughly knew the general direction of where kovan mrt is, just that i don't know how far it is. kept walking and walking till i reached an area which looked where jean lived. hahaha. so i continued walking. my target was a macs after turning left at a junction 'cos i remembered it from last time. was starting to doubt if where i was walking to was correct 'cos it took a long time to reach that macs but eventually, i reached my target. hahahaha:D yeah!
when i was walking alone to kovan mrt station, i couldn't help being acutely aware of one of my weaknesses.. pastor jeff is right. it's only through our various weaknesses that we can truly see how much we need God. His mercy, His grace and His providence.

hahaha:D
anyway...went to 'fetch' jitsy from toa payoh macs today...walked into macs, found them, went near them, then huichun looked at me in a shocked expression, jitsy turned around, had the same expression and both of them burst out laughing:P how friendly.
studied with jits and guan today. hehe. i dun think it was very productive for them..it was quite productive for me a while after we started and when i listened to 'for this cause' on jit's walkman at a rather high volume. hehehe:D
yeah. starting to pick up the speed... let's pray that it continues on:D

jiali and i were studying early in the morning at istana park today...hahaha. interesting morning. hahaha.
at first we were studying near the water, then the sun came and we shifted to the chairs. i think 'cos it's early in the morning, i started to feel sleepy..hahahaa. quite disastrous considering that u're trying to memorize stuff about growth and development:P short chats here and there helped though. so did jiali's lakerols.. hahahaha:D
the transition from morning to afternoon came subtly when i became more awake, jiali started to feel a little sleepy (izzit?:D) and birds took over the place of flies in istana park...hahaa. 'cos there's this malay lady who was feeding them with bread:)
lunch was at long john's! which looked really spacious with mirrors on both sides...hahaha. studying after lunch wasn't particularly productive 'cos the afternoon snoozles start to creep up on you...was trying to understand differential equations:| (learnt from weez that only the very first part is tested. cheat my feelings. hahahaha:D)
i haven't gotten the pictures for holy comm night!!! hahaha. ziwei got hers! i want mine! hahahaha:D

just finished my 31 mins walk from junction 8 to weezi's house to the outside busstop to my house's void deck...hahaha. it was 10 mins from bishan mrt station to weez's void deck...then not counting the time going up and down, it was 10 mins to the outside busstop and 11 mins to walk into my flat. hehehe.
surprisingly fast:D yeah!:D
here's a .swf file that's quite interesting:D hehee. just put ur cursor over the man's face and see what happens:D

of course i must clarify something.
i dun find it funny that some people are butches and all that. it's nothing funny.
i love the people. and i love my friend.
but i hate the sin.
anyway, i do believe that sometimes it's just a misunderstanding of the deeper levels of love towards friends that do cause people to start wondering about other things. and the mind does 'wonders', causing people to keep pondering about it. and females. well. females. we do 'feel' a lot sometimes.
anyway, that's my contribution about the whole thing after a few years of seeing stuff, of feeling stuff, or going through stuff and sharing stuff.
hehehe. goodnight!

hahaha!
came online with the intention of asking jiali what the five languages of love are 'cos i heard it during word for life today...thank God that she's online. hahaha:D
was talking to eunice in the meantime and i nearly laughed my head off. we were talking about haircuts and somehow the conversation shifted to butches in nybbgt.
seriously speaking i think it's a misconception of some people that girl basketballers are mostly butches (referring to incident in first three months when we ourselves were being called butches by a bunch of guys:P)...and people who spike their hair ARE NOT ALWAYS butches as well 'cos SOME PEOPLE just generally like to spike their hair and dun mind spending at least 10 mins a day in the morning doing so (eg. shuwen:D)
right?:D
but it turns out that there are pple in nybbgt who have decided to choose a different inclination from the behaviour of most people and have decided to show these inclinations publicly, which kinda caused a little alarm and phobia at cutting really short hair to my dear friend whom i was talking to.
hahahahaha!

yesterday was father's day.. haha. went out with mum and sister in the evening to finally get shirts for dad and to treat him to dinner.
so strange. father's day always seems less hyped up than mother's day... it's like, u'll see promotions and advertisements to buy this and that for your dad, but just not as much.
was just thinking about how my dad and mum are quite different in personality...hahaha. mum's choleric and dad is more phlegmatic O_o thankfully both are quite sanguine. hahaha. so at least they can talk to each other. i have a very friendly father and a very task-oriented mother. hahaha...
someone once said in a speech during graduation night in nygh that we get our personality traits mostly from our dad and our intelligence mostly from our mum. i guess it's quite true. considering i'm super non-choleric. my sister is more choleric than me i guess. hahaha. depends.
-memories consume,
like opening the wound,
i'm picking me apart again-
i like the song 'breaking the habit'...but it doesn't contain particularly nice lyrics. actually i like linkin park songs rather much...but they all contain quite negative lyrics. hahaha. so sad. the way it's presented is nice though.
something that struck my mind last night:
\To be disciplined is not just a desire, it is a decision.\ quite self-explanatory...u can keep saying 'i want to be more disciplined! i want to finish! i want to...', but then if u dun go and do it right, and just keep 'wanting to', in the end, nothing is done:P
yeah well:D

YES! today is saturday!:D and we had a very special service. today is the starting of the CENTRESTAGE services:D we had our own 'BLEEPERS, BLUNDERS and BLOOPERS' edition... uncensored, unmodified and unedited for all to view. (modelled after american idol's).
it was SUPER HILARIOUS. we couldn't stop laughing for like the first 15 mins or so... and it was very engaging...'cos of the game and the simple mime skit which caught pple's hearts. simple, yet bringing across an essential message:)
i loved it! hahaa. can't wait for the SEMI FINALS! when we can really see all 8 semifinalists sing and dance. hahaha:D so intriguing!:D

yes. my encounters for two weeks. before i start, please pray for twin. she's having a fever of more than 38 degrees celsius.
2 weeks ago...monday:
met joyce and jocelyn and the rest of them at buona vista mrt station..hahaha. surprisingly, i was the first to reach despite me leaving my house at rather a late hour. was carrying a broom and a pail (which never found its way back to my house again) and my big bag for staying over and walking around and having pple looking at me strangely as if i'm someone pretending to by a sweeper or something:)
yeah well:) games went quite smoothly...though we did take a lot of time trying out each game. hahaa:)we also prayed for ruisi 'cos she was having a fever...
by 8+ we were quite hungry...and we had yet to decide on a place to stay over at 'cos the nus eusoff hall pple said tt we can't stay over in their hall afterall..they'll be locking the place up:| and the idea of travelling back to toa payoh and travelling to nus again the next day didn't quite appeal to me, so i decided to stay over at central rc with cathy, yuqian, lausanne, jason and two other brothers whom i've forgotten the names of:| heh.
after dinner we tried out the games for 'amusing race'...was quite excited about my station 'cos everyone screamed when we tried my station out and i was just laughing my head off. hehehe:)
then we had this station whereby you have to flip urself over (called suicide window) from one side of the railing to another...it was quite scary just before u had to flip 'cos it seemed as though u'll bang ur head against the railings and concuss or something...or else u'll prob just slip and fall and everything else. but once u tried it, it's really fun. hahaha:) shirley came to join us and she tried it too..
then off we went to rc to rest. haha. me and yuqian and mandy and shirley hopped onto the first cab seen... so bad right. the rc was super near nus...it's extremely near holland village. haha:) it's like. 1 min walk away or something:)
yeah well. being the first to reach rc, me and yuqian decided to go to 7-11 to get something...then we saw the rest coming up by the lift, so we waited for them...and alvin (one of the brothers of whom i forgot the name just now...heh) held an extremely fast 'caregroup' inside the lift. super corny.
i dunno what yuqian did...but i remember chasing her all the way to 7-11 in someone's super heavy slippers. they're nice to step around with 'cos they're heavily cushioned with lots of air...but it's not fun to run around with them. hehe:)
yeah well. we made the signs and everything that night. quite an amusing night. just laming around...can't really remember doing wat. mandy and the rest of the leaders stayed up the whole night finishing the name tags for us. so touched. hehee.
took a cab down the next morning and we did our best to try to finish everything (eg. filling up flour...) the half-hour before registration started was super confusing and busy...everyone had to rush things to do..and 3/4 of the games comm pple were still with freddy preparing for the amusing race... and the few of us left had lots of things to pack and finish...and the pieces of cloth, turned from very nicely cut to... (eh..) not-so-nicely cut:D thought it was quite interesting how u can improvise on cutting cloth as well. hhaa:)
yeah. then the rest of the day was when games commenced and teaching commenced and the rest of the brothers and sisters came (so nice to see them again:D)
i think the thing about camps is that they contain a lot of fresh insights, new goals, renewed passion, interesting memories, knowledge, deep thinking, fun and laughter which can't really be contained in a page-ful of words...and the best i can do is to retain these as memories, packed to keep them as fresh as if i am still reliving them when i think back about the camp. so yes. i can't really put the three days of camp into words either.
i responded in the camp to two main things... one is about what i do with the time i have (more specifically, do i align what i do to the vision?) second thing is responding to being a cl by jan 2005. actually i responded to it as a sign of truly wanting to follow my leaders and support them all the way. how to say. like... my main focus is to fulfill the vision that we have for vj...and it doesn't really matter to me if i'm a cl or not. just that if God appoints me to be one, i'll definitely accept it.
i can't quite remember what i did last friday. or sat ('cept that there was service and jasmine did a very nice 'card' for jocelyn:D). or sunday ('cept that my mum and sister and i went out to shop for clothes to wear to my cousin's wedding dinner night. what's this. year of weddings of nieces and cousins? *boggles* haha).
ah well.
monday. studied with jiali at macs before wfl... hahha. shepherd had to take care of sheep, so shepherd took sheep up to oceania room when she was going to prepare as well. sheep was quite amused and felt that she was having extended shepherding during wfl and now sheep thinks she's talking in xinyi's style.
tuesday...tuesday was a day of chalet..hahaa. was arguing with myself if i should go 'cos i can really use that one more day for studying...but went in the end 'cos i'll be disappointing two groups of pple if i dun go:) hehee. first was the chalet with 03S1D...me and steph thought we're late...in the end, we were the first females to reach:|
played mahjong (haha. munbbill is surprisingly good at it:|) and bridge... (hahhaa! 10-4... unfortunately ...or fortunately, depends on how u look at it, grouped with thong kheng. we won the 10 sets!!!:D:D:D) and heart attack. some things i remember was the crab killing minutes spent AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN 'cos crab killing didn't quite appeal to me (:P), eating nutella on its own and shouting 'hello!' to the pple at 'wild wild wet' with michelle and actually getting responses.
main food supply was chips and drinks. junk food basically.
then went over to tracy's chalet! hahaha. it was a combination of the former nygep pple and the rj pple. ate lots of food. chicken wings, marshmellows, satay, otah, sausages, crabmeats, chocolates, watermelon, potato with butter (or satay sauce)...yeah well:D
tracy and qing and weez are crazy:D hehe. i wanted to play bridge after all that eating and they wanted to play basketball:D we did play bridge. one round (!!!) and then it was basketball. can u imagine, all the food in our stomach? got a stitch after the game...combined with four guys who were there before us.
had study cg on wednesday:D was quite interesting. i observed a few study patterns about myself... then studied with them together on thurs again:D we should have an overnight study session. most of the time i was just getting into the mood to study again when i had to go home... :(
studying at amk galilee cafe with steph and dancing was too short to be effective. hehee. well thankfully i did finish my econs mindmap...so at least i can refer to it next time:)
TODAY IS SATURDAY!:D it was a hilarious saturday so it shall have an entry of its own. anyway, this one is getting too long for comfort. hhahaa:)

hahaha:) yeah! my comp is officially fixed. and while my comp was still not working, i learnt how to read the files in the comp, extract them, or move them around using ms dos. so intriguing:D if anyone's comp dies in the future and you have important documents to take out, can ask me to teach u how. hahaha:)
i have lots to blog about. been saving up each memory in my brain for the past 2 weeks. if i don't unload them soon, i won't be able to load my common test stuff into my brains...hahaha:)
but before this. i need to go and bathe. hahaha.
look i'm using the prefrontal cortex of my brain which is the area of sober second thought, determining if i'll bathe first, or i'll blog first and which one will yield a more positive feedback. i hereby settle on the bathing first. here i go. hahahaha:D

A psychotic chemist came home from work and had a big fight with his wife. In the heat of the moment, he grabbed a bottle of some lethal chemical substance and forced her to drink it while he screamed: " Die Ethyl, die". The wife dropped dead on the floor and the neighbors who were watching the scene, decided to call the police. The policemen arrived and arrested the chemist. One of them asked: Was there any reason for you to kill your wife? The chemist replied: " There was no chemistry between us. We never bonded well although we tried.In the compound where we lived, our temperaments collided. She always responded negatively to my comments. Our relationship was unstable. There was no possible solution. She had an attitude and I was explosive. Finally, I overreacted. But now I'm glad it's over. I'm in equilibrium again.I will feel free even behind the irons."

A group of organic molecules were having a party, when a group of robbers broke into the room and stole all of the guests joules.A tall, strong man, armed with a machine gun came into the room and killed the robbers one by one.The guests were very grateful to this man, and they wanted to know who he was. He replied: My name is BOND, Covalent Bond.

oooh. i feel terribly exhausted. *yawn*. hahaha:)
back from family camp!:D so nice! hahaha. it's really so cool to have thousand ++ of us all in the same ballroom praising and worshipping God and honouring one another.how heartening it is to know that everyone around you loves Jesus and truly wants to serve Him as well:D
-You are the way the truth and the life
i live by faith and not by sight... for You
i'm living all for You-
i think a few things i remember the most out of the camp was how the first praise and worship already ministered greatly to me, pastor dinah's inspirational teaching which impacted using stories, how the staff team truly show forth Christ's example to serve, how the leaders honour their leaders, the very interesting workshop that really appealed to me (counselling in discipling process), the holy communion night where marcus had the inspiration of getting all the former PTE pple to take a photo and then subsequently we had the idea of getting all the PT pple to take a photo together (jieyun says it's like an annual reunion for all of us to remember each other, i think it also serves the purpose of spurring each of us on to continue running the race) and the late night talking sessions (or shall i say early morning?) with jiali (for both nights) and with jitsy(for the second night)which allowed me to get to know jiali (as a shepherd, as a friend) better. actually i feel tt she initiated the whole talking thing.. hahaha.
-night time sharpens, heightens your sensation
darkness stirs and wakes imagination-
i should go and sleep soon. hahaha. sleeping over for hs/jc camp tmr 'cos the game comm pple are going there one day early to prepare for everything:D can't wait for it! at eusoff hall! u all can still sms me!:D heh.

"The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice" (Proverbs 12:15, NIV).
We have a rather crazy bird that keeps smashing into our kitchen window, I presume trying to reach his/her reflection. I keep trying to outsmart it, but it keeps coming back for more of the same kind of treatment. I had the same thing happening at my former home. They just don't get it.
I have also read how, "If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
"A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself."
Some, perhaps many, people are entrapped in hopeless situations because they are not looking for or seeing the way out of their predicament. I've been there myself in days past until I wised up. In my work I see people making the same mistakes over and over again failing to realize that what we don't resolve, we are destined to repeat ...repeat ... repeat. As the saying goes, "If we keep doing what we've always done, we'll keep getting what we always got, and we'll keep feeling what we've always felt."
The beginning point for finding the way out of any predicament is always to look up--to look to God and pray the right prayer. That is, ask God to show you the truth of what you are contributing to the situation, to show you what you need to do to resolve it, and to help find the help/counsel you need to overcome.

hahaha! just saw the picture of a primary sch friend i used to hang out with a lot in primary school... hannah. she looks pretty now!
i remember her quite vividly 'cos i used to hang out with her, xavier and lynette (best fren in primary sch) in primary school..and she was the only one who's not from my class, but nevertheless we still see each other every morning and all.
got me into tons of trouble 'cos i'll go out with them and this bunch of guys will always join us and mum will say lots of bad things abt them and all. and i'll have fierce quarrels with mum whenever she says bad things abt them...but they're not bad pple, just more playful. and the bunch of us will go to the arcade and play 'house of the dead'. hahaha.
at first i still kept in touch with hannah and xavier after going to sec sch...but gradually, we didn't call each other anymore.
so sad.
hhahaa.

hahaha!
games comm pple met today again:D super amusing.
(ooh. twin just came online:|)
anyway. yup:D can't wait for student camp to start so tt pple can actually enjoy the games as well!:D:D:D
(twin says she's not twin. she's my twin's twin. isn't tt me?:D)
then had wfl...before wfl, the games comm pple were rushing their lunch. hahaha:D joyce(from west)was happily looking at us eat and counting down the mins:P quite disastrous to hear the mins ticking away.

was quite frustrated by how several of my planned out stuff for this week have to changed/edited/deleted/pushedback/shortened for this week of various new things which came by on its way and i was unable to nicely fill in things and all tt due to unknown factors. and once my timetable is printed out from the comp, i want it to be perfectly planned. no changes. nothing. (how demanding)
so being quite frustrated, i decided to turn to the Word of God 'cos i was reading through today's WFL notes in advance and was just starting to read the new chapter about the Word. yup:D
flipped to James and started reading it again out of my own accord and the verse 1:5 spoke to me. 'If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him' and i prayed to Him...and ta-da. well. instead of filling in the activities as how it should be, why not just decide about the activities myself first (okay. this does sound strange in words, but it made perfect sense to me.)... so out went my frustration and in came a nicely planned timetable, which will not be amended, but things can be added on.
actually God also showed me tt this frustration does have underlying reasons and it surfaced as a result of me realising the symptons, but failing to rectify it completely and with determination. so nice of God to give me verses too. hahaha:D
anyway, flipping through the bible for the verses today suddenly made me miss the times when i can spend a long time just poring over the verses in the bible, wondering about the meaning, thinking about applications and linking it to other parts, then writing them down. checking online for more insights about what the verses mean and everything. Has my love for the WOG diminished? what a scary thought. i shall allocate time for more feasting on the WOG every week:D
i love the book of James:D it's the book which i really love. hahaha. repetition. and really explore. and ponder. and ask.
1 Peter too. hahaha. should apply this curiosity and ernestness in knowing more about the books to other books as well. and pray for the curiosity and ernestness to continue on and on and on and on forever!
