movies i watched...

yesterday:
just go with it (i realised i watched almost all jennifer aniston's recent movies.. she's so pretty!)
no strings attached (interesting show~ ashton kutcher always makes me think of abercrombie)

today: (more serious mode.. yesyes, 2 starring kate winslet)
the ugly truth (watched in cinema w cg ppl & remem it's funny, and wow, its been almost 3 years?!)
little children (kate winslet & patrick wilson, omg he is soo charming! he's in "switch" "phantom of the opera" which he sang the sountracks, impressive!)
the reader (i think its romantic in a dark way. i like ralph finnes! i remem reading an article.. there's some hoo-ha abt this film)

recent:
eclipse (not that bad la.. cant wait for breaking dawn)
sunshine cleaning (interesting movie~ reminds me of how dumb women can be in the name of love, though that wasnt the gist of the movie)
stepbrothers (super funny! i think its one of the funnier shows of will ferrell)
the joneses ( i like this! interesting show. david duchovny, the xfiles guy is charming)
definitely, maybe (romantic comedy, made my heart really itchy to know the ending! starring ryan reynolds, "the proposal" guy, with sandra bullock)
there's something abt mary (it's a show i probably watched when i was sec1. i kinda have the impression that i liked it, but didnt exactly like it after watching it again, but its the soft, sweet side of ben stiller and not the usual lame, funny stiller that we usually see! i still think cameron diaz is pretty!)
forgetting sarah marshall (chick flick! if u like russell brand, he's in it)
hall pass (this was in movies, its funny!)
superbad (2007 film, apparently v popular, lame kind)
the rocky horror picture show (IT IS AMAZING! old sch! made in 1975)
i love you philip morris (the gay show starring jim carey & ewan mcgregor, needless to say, I LOVE IT!)
dinner for schmucks (its a tad irritating, i felt like slapping steve carell)

这一刻突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天今天同时在放映
我这句语气原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据

差一点骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
彷佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段我们曾心贴著心
我想我更有权力关心你
可能你已走进别人风景
多希望也有星光的投影

努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
彷佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口

some pictures that motivate me to exercise! i know i'm horrible... i don't exercise in the name of "good health" but i really do ONLY (as of now) exercise to see the number drop on the weighing scale, or having the satisfaction when my usual clothes seem a bit lose. don't judge me!

of cos i definitely not looking to achieve such lean abs! a bit of fat is good! wheee! !

i know i can find even skinnier pics of these celebs, but i'm not looking for skinny! toned looking body is good enough!

run run run!!! run for my life! =X

jessica alba

nichole scherzinger

shakira

and of cos there's beyonce, britney spears etc! (whether they achieved it via lipo or not, its not of my concern as pics are for motivational purposes only! hurhur)

the problem has been existing for so long with no solution
i don't know what to do...

2011-01-18T00:40:00.002+08:00

i asked ah beng uncle for lunch today! and happen tat my mate wana eat, so we ate tgr, 3 of us. stupid team-mate so extra and he didnt even noe he's extra! haha until during afternoon tea then another mate informed him that he's extra! tsk! neh mind, i confirm got other chance to date my uncle. and he treat us lunch! super paisey cause i am the 1 who's supposed to be bribing him!!! stinks~

awww uncle is so nice~ (but he likes china girls! 1 thing i cant forgive him for! hahaa)

2011-01-16T23:48:00.000+08:00

awwwwwwww~ not my usual kind, but will do! haha

2011-01-06T23:16:00.004+08:00

just some pretty funny stuff that we talked during meeting today:

1) mate was complaining that RMs didnt contact customer after she opened the account. customer didnt feel that the service is gd and withdraw all the moola which resulted her not getting commission. boss said maybe the RM feel that the customer doesnt have investment potential so didnt contact customer. however, boss said that our role is to "swim to the other island and hunt the coconut and bring the coconut back to the island for the RM to open up the coconut"! the RM cannot expect us to "swim to the other island.. hunt the coconut.. bring the coconut back.. and crack the coconut.. and "nah! i open the coconut for u already" "
which means, we open account for customers shui shui = job done. its up to the RMs to speak/ crack open the customer to get them to do investments.
i like the coconut analogy!

2) boss was asking us "what do u say to close the deal?"
cause just because u manage to make ur cold calls, doesnt necessary mean u get to make appointments. just cause u manage to go for appts, doesnt necessarily mean you close the deal. some ppl can make alot of appts but dont close the deal. so its important to master the art of closing the deal! so boss asked us "what do u say/do to close the deal?" mainly:
*directly ask customer "may i have your i/c?" = assumed closure
this is the kind when want to ask the guy/girl to be your bf/gf.. will just hold hand den consider go steady already
*politely ask the customer "shall we proceed with your account opening forms" = unassumed closure
this is the kind who will ask "will u be my bf/gf?" the unassuming kind..
OMG! lidat oso can use the "go steady" analogy! super funny! haha

ok, change topic

i cant believe it! i cant believe that while leaving raffles area in my mgr's car (btw we had morning meetng at 830 and left the carpark at 1pm, the parking charge is $22! i almost puked my lunch out) and while she was making a turn, lo and behold, i saw my ah beng waiting to cross the traffic light. err its quite hard to spot someone when u're sitting in a car. and i still managed to take a 3 sec look at him?! in fact i looked at him, sat back, couldn't believe i saw him, looked again to make sure if i'm really seeing him, saw the correct person, and sat back again. man, this guy is prominent. i think it could be his height. and he was just wearing a pastel blue shirt, nth striking. man, my ah beng~

oh, tml is the last day at orchard. i'll be moving to the east office, which is the same office as my ah beng uncle aka daddy! i hope all will be well there! i have plans to keep a fighting fish in office! and maybe a plant!

having my 1st event tml evening too! wine tasting! i wonder how it'll go! although i'm not playing any major role during the event itself, i still have a role to play! i need to be in top form! please pray that i have sales and have favour of man!

on a more emo note:
recently i've been reminising the days that I was last happy, in fact v happy, and I couldn't recall any recent events and what came to my mind was sth that happened a long time ago. But was I really happy then? Or is it just a fraction of my imagination that I think I was happy then? Wat happen? It wasn't too far back yet it's not that recent. I've also been asking myself if I've been taking things/ppl for granted. Have I, really?

2010-12-14T21:51:00.002+08:00

he shall be my bff for the next few weeks!

time to make my moola work!!!

2010-12-02T20:04:00.002+08:00

(btw there's a concierge svc for all anz staff there, why cant we have that too in sg?1) then when i saw the picture of the bldg in my mgr's fb account, i tio stun! cos it looked REALLY familiar! and i was certain i saw this bldg while i was in melbourne! so i immed went to dig out my melbourne pics and lo and behold, it IS the anz bldg (see below!)

OMG! can u imagine my utter shock?! it's like HOW CAN IT BE SO QIAO?!
and when i took this pic, it was because i liked the orangy-pink tone reflected by the sunset, on the bldg. who cared about ANZ in mar 2010?

5 reasons why my manager exist

1) so that i won't skip a day of work after director's wedding

2) so that i wont be walking into office at 10am everyday

3) so that i wont be taking 2-3 hr lunch breaks

4) so that i wont sit around after lunch to chit chat

5) so that i wont end work at 5pm

5 reasons why i'm a good employee

1) aside from the day that i'm given unofficial off, i was in office every weekday

2) i still made an effort to come to work at 10am instead of not coming in at all

3) i didnt take numerous lunch breaks

4) i didnt take infinite coffee breaks, nor did i head for breakfast at 10am

5) i didnt go home immed after lunch

BUT!!!!!!!!!!

the days described as above are over, because tomorrow, my manager will be back
that's the terminator spirit!

2010-11-27T20:13:00.000+08:00

i knew that you will be mine =)

2010-11-23T22:08:00.002+08:00

2010-11-17T15:48:00.002+08:00

i did my first express manicure yday! omg its only $4 at far east!! only shape nails + nail polish, which i think its gd enough! then dun need to always paint myself then kenna my nails, which 90% of the time will tio and super sian diao! $4 is affordable! but i paid extra $2 for quick dry, but i shall give the quick dry a miss nx time! and express pedi only $6! cheeeeaps! shall do that when i have function nx time!

1 of my mates was sharing with us that she's going out with 1 colleague from another office but she dont seem to fancy him much despite him being a nice guy. i was like screaming "just grab him!" and she's like eeeeks! and honestly the guy is not bad looking at all! and according to her, he's nice and quite fresh in the aspect of dating. but he dont drive and 1 of my mate went "DITCH HIM!" i'm like WAT THE?! u're ditching a guy cause he doesnt drive?! apparently this guy just sold his car, which i sooo not going to penalize him for! right?! and she was whining that it's sooooooo troublesome to go dating, sth abt the whole issue of getting to know a person.. "can i just get married?" -_-''' and 1 said "u probably havent found the right guy, that's y u don't have the feeling that u wana hang out with this guy.. like if u really like the guy, u can just sit there and stare at his face the whole nite.." which i guess its true... haha and me being very nice told her that she's only been out with him a couple of times and shld give themselves a couple more dates to decide if he's really not for her etc. SEE! i believe in giving chances! i detest ppl who cut others off with just 1 date. like WHAT THE?! anyway she was busy rolling her eyes. WHATEVA LA! she's pretty, she can choose~ *roll eyes*

ktv was nice! smaller room, more cosy.. and the korean colleague sang some korean songs! and it soooo help that he's super duper handsome... when i first saw him i'm *_* but he just got married. crap~ haha my mate was going crazy like "wasted la~ he's married" and she herself is married liao~ super funny! and he sang "sorry sorry" and danced a bit. OMG SO SHUAI!! and his voice is goods! den he sang 1 emo korean song, omg~ super duper melt can?! OMG OMG OMG!

and our swiss mate got drunk, so i sent her home and she puked a lil on my door -_- but heng it wasnt a lot and not smelly. she super duper paisey, cos when i passed her the plastic bag, she's said v firmly that she doesnt need it. oh, did i mention that i let ah beng uncle drive my car? cos i not really confident of driving the long ramp at iluma's carpark! when i was driving up into the carpark i already dizzy lor~ so he drove her home @ lavender. we're supposed to then send 1 mate to serangoon, then send me home and he'll take cab. but since we passed by tpy, he decided to just end at tpy, then mate + him will take cab from there. awww my uncle is so nice~ i tried once again to ask him in the car if he's interested to have sugar daughter, he v firmly said no. -_-''' i think cause got 1 mate in the car, then he paisey. wahahaahahaha! but it's settled! *winks* hai~ this man is sooo nice, he needs a wife. but i cant think of any1 that i can intro to him! stinks!

heading to timbre for the first time!!!!

2010-11-13T13:24:00.005+08:00

this past week hasn't been fabulous but looking forward to a fabulous nx week! and there's a PH again?!

and no, i've not yet closed a sale yet!! need to work harder~
1st resignation in my dept. and yday was the guy's last day. considering that we're not close, i'm not affected at all. but its fairly quick considering he's there for just 3+ mths. anyway can more or less suspect the reasons~
went to director's new house to play boardgames with mates! (his wedding dinner is nx sun, STINKS!) very very nice place. my parents would never consider getting a unit on the 1st floor with the backdoor/ mini garden kinda thingy, but its really nice! its like i dun even need to take lift! very ang moh feel~ i duno, there's just sth abt the modern condos that makes it look really nice, its just different compared to HDB and i didnt even see the facilities in the condo! it's just next to CTE at yck, nice~ (only if u drive)

been quite emo the past week, there're some issues on my mind that i'm struggling with, stuffs that i'm thinking about and did feel a tinge of disappointment.. but well....

i like this picture! the 11 of us! we wont be able to take such a picture again... i'm still super amazed that all of us are sooo different ppl working tgr! hahaha

my new wallet! muahahaahahaha!

how to get a prada wallet?
1) show parents u r very wise with finances
2) get a supp card from dad
3) don't use it often nor for big amts
4) gain trust from parents
5) 6mths after receiving birthday presents from parents, swipe the card for an expensive item
6) sms dad "i just swipe the supp card for an item worth $___. it's part 2 of my bday present"
7) too late for parents to do anything
8) wallet acquired

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

p/s: if my dad can buy a $1.3k LV bag for my mama, i'm sure this wallet which cost a fraction of it, shouldn't be an issue

p.p/s: dad has been working OT the last couple of days and for the 1st time in years, he's working on a sat. and he's blaming it on the wallet! but i'm not feeling guilty! there's only a few more years he can work before officially retiring. i'm helping him! hehehehehehe (don't crucify me!)

2010-11-05T12:12:00.006+08:00

last sun while driving in the car alone to church, it suddenly came to my mind what an amazing year i had so far in 2010. although i wasnt working and to others, it may seem to be a very easy year for me, there're many things in my life that i had to deal with. things that nobody knew and nobody could help me with, decisions that i have to make and stick to it. and it is only through the grace of God that i am able to overcome. i felt so touched by His presence during service. it is indeed a breakthrough year for me. and i am expecting more for next year because it would be one of change too =)

ok, time for updates for last night's D&D! when we had lunch yday, we're discussing how lousy the programme is cause there was practically no updates. we were thinking are we just gonna sit there and eat? it's sooo boring~ so before we went there, a bit sian diao already. BUT! once we stepped into the ballroom, IT IS CRAZY AND SOO COOL~~ it's like people REALLY dress up! all the branch mgrs look crazy and the head of our sg mkt is like a hippie! utterly fabulous! and there's 1 ang moh who's half naked! OMG! very cool outfits! then there was a band on stage performing VERY GOOD rock songs. there's stage presence and its good music! omg! and the events coy who did everything is FABULOUS! the emcee is fabulous! omg! i never thought i can have soo much fun in the d&d!!! ok, but i had to admit, more than 50% of my time there is spent at the smokers corner hanging out with my training mates (yaya, i know, its crazy that i'm hanging out at smokers corner) and everyone there is either offering me a cigarette or a beer, which i both rejected, saying that i'm underage! haha! party-ing with ang moh culture is really different man~
and then the crazy part came when i was hanging out at the smoking corner & 2 of my drunk mates came out and started swearing & shouting at me. man, i duno wat to do! in fact i was in a state of shock and it felt a bit offended because people would probably be thinking i'm some hateful creep! then i told myself that they're drunk! i tried to defend myself once and 1 of them started scolding me and challenging me, so i just backed off and look at them. and the other 1 kept hugging my ah beng! too much ar~
we're supposed to go phuture! but the 2 main cast are drunk, so obviously it was cancelled and i was planning for alternative event! so decided to just stick with my ah beng! and 1 mate was so gone until she was puking on herself~ omg~ hai~ that's probably the highlight of the night? so the stories that director told us about ppl getting drunk on d&d is true~ and i've seen what guys are really like. some of them are obviously just waiting to pounce on drunk girls and taking advantage of them. err i thought that since it's company event, shouldnt they be a bit more conservative? apparently i heard that 1 of the big shot was busy flirting with every girl in a not very nice way. omg~ and i was hanging out w 1 indian girl who keeps getting picked up by guys and she was super sian diao~ even when we're almost leaving, 1 ang moh came to chat with her and the look in her eyes is like "NOT AGAIN??!!" i was on the verge of laughing at her and then another guy came to talk to me, and ask me to go club. -_-''' heng my ah beng came to save us and sent us home! *winks* this week is fabulous! i get to squeeze w another girl in a 2-seater sportscar with the shuai RM who was like very disturbing towards me last nite *what a nightmare* i for one am not interested when handsome guys talk crap to me =X and i get to sit in my ah beng's MODIFIED mitsubishi MANUAL car~ omg! SINCE WHEN I CHANGE TASTE AND LIKE AH BENG?!

oh, did i mention that my 2 drunk girl mates were busy kissing each other in the ballroom?

2010-10-30T21:34:00.002+08:00

stinks~ flower eating again!

went for ktv at k suite, iluma, after cg with training peeps! just before i head into the room, i saw it's called the VIP room. i was wondering if booking a room for 10 ppl is considered VIP enough. anyway the shock came when i went in. on my right, ppl singing karaoke. on my left, pool table! O_O then i put my wallet down.. then i went to talk to the malay guy (i still find it weird for a malay to go karaoke which is mainly mandarin songs, but still, the songs the mates chose are chi songs!) and he was playing PS3!! i'm like WHICH KTV GOT PS3 SIA?! and it's like 2 tv screens?! OMG!! and then there's liquor on the table. i think 2 bottles of martell and some snacks.. i'm like OMGGGGG this is going to cost me a bomb despite me just going for a couple of hours!!

then 1 of my closer mates came over to chat with me and talked about the room being v big etc. i agreed la! never seen such a big room before, still can smoke inside sia~ den she said she got a shock too when she first stepped in and tio scare for her $$$ den went to recep to ask how much it is to book the VIP room. it's 1.6k. YES!!!! $1600 TO BOOK THE ROOM!!! excluding drinks! i'm like WAT IN THE WORLD! and mentally i was like calculating a rough estimate of how much each of us has to pay! then thank God, she then added that 1 of my mates knows the boss, so the room is free, we just pay for drinks! fabulous!

anyway marco is nice enough not to include me to spilt the bill, so i didnt pay anything. *winks*

i still owe him a meal.. maybe nx week!

how how how i flower eating over the 2 ah bengs in my training group! hehehe they are so nice to me~~ and the ah beng uncle said that on the first day of training, he thought i was japanese *shy*

parents finally coming back tml. i think it's boring to be alone at home on weekends. at least if parents at home, there's some sense of other human beings in the house. alternatively, i would usually go out, but cause i'm supposed to force myself to study (which is super duper not working) plus i need to recover from last nite, i had to stay at home... in fact i'm supposed to clean up the house cos it's in a big mess. clothes all over the place. gosh~

2010-10-13T22:16:00.000+08:00

stinks! in a state of flower eat -_-''''

2010-10-10T20:55:00.001+08:00

oh gosh! the weekend just flew pass me!

is this the norm for ppl who're working?!

i need to start getting used to it! zzzzz

2010-10-01T14:18:00.002+08:00

went for a 1-day JB trip! ate tons and watched a movie. super duper slack! and dead tired~

and i cant believe i got a mini-counseling session while in JB! gosh~ and so far, whenever people find out that i may have plans not to get married, the look of utter shock on their faces never fail to amuse me! hahaha! i just find it reaaal funny =X

i think t was trying to figure me out but i kinda successfully made him confused! muahaaha!

*phew*
job searching in 2008 is one of my most terrifying experiences in life so far. and being on the job search once again has brought about much uncertainties and honestly, fear. i know job mkt is definitely picking up, but what job do i look for? what are my expectations? how in the world do i pass the interview?

in '08, there's this particular week i went for 5 interviews, and i didnt even get a single offer.

first 2 weeks of sept after SOT grad, i sent quite a few resumes for back end positions. i thought maybe i should just do backend/paper work, which i really like~ but not a single call. hence, i decided to step out and send resumes to positions which i should try. this resulted me to go for quite a few interviews and in the process, understand what i'm looking for. evaluating myself after the interviews has made me realised how naive i was when i was a fresh graduate. the things i said during the interview. and all thanks to SOT, i really learn how to talk more boldly & confidently. i am extremely certain the tone and words used during all interviews did show explicitly my confidence.

hope everything goes well, and i will start work in oct.. i cant say for certain i will do well/ excel but i will put in my best effort =)

for the best future!

listening to Father's Love (Dalamnya KasihMu Bapa)
i think this is fabulous song.

Great is your love Abba Father
You're my salvation from above
Jesus, You're more than i deserve
Your love rescued me

Humbly You came into this world
Laid down Your life and chose to serve
Just as i am without one plea
Your love rescued me

You are my saviour
My great Redeemer
And by Your blood now i can be free
You are my saviour
My loving Father
For all eternity
Worship Your Majesty

well.. we all know that when translating of songs, in order to flow with the music, sometimes the meaning of the song may change a little.
so in direct translation to the song, it says:

Father in Your love
Especially in everything
Your noblest sacrifice
It is for me
That You shed your blood
Forgive me of my sins
I am on my knees
My Jesus

I worship You
You are beautiful
Restore me with Your blood
I worship You
Noble Father
All my life
I want to worship You

need to head to town to get a bday pressie. i suddenly have the urge to go shopping... despite not working, i barely went to town just to hang out & slack & window shop... so either i have the money but too tired to shop (when i was working) or i don't have the money but kind of have the time to shop (now)

but assignments are due nx week! so today will be a grab and go shopping!
after that it's total freedom! and chionging CFA exams. man, don't remind me abt that~

2010-07-28T20:10:00.004+08:00

stinks~ i LS-ed twice last night and wasn't getting better so i ate bao ji wan... woke up with a super duper urge to puke... showered first, just in case after awhile i'll feel gd enough to go sch and can just chiong out but was contemplating whether to give sch a miss.. =X tried puking, nth came out... continued to LS 3 more times.. told myself if LS once more, i'll go see doc. which i eventually did..

while walking to doc, super felt like puking and being a model citizen, i have no wish to puke into drain/ walkway, so i walked super fast to clinic despite feeling dizzy. saw the doc, suddenly felt better, wondered if its psychological. but upon reaching home, i did the merlion... twice....

man, its like 1 clogged pipe being unclogged...

went to cook porridge, but just when the porridge was ready, i really felt like fainting & RAN to lie on bed, before i knew it, 1 hour had passed. gosh~ so i just lie on the bed the whole day..
my bed is my best friend... only she can make me feel better.. gosh~ this sounds so les..

diet for my whole day: plain porridge with preserved lettuce...
i cant believe i managed to resist the chicken during dinner -_-'''

hai~ stinks lor... i was just thinking yday that since jacq's wedding is super near, i need to lose some weight to look fabulous~ den i was dreading the sight of me jogging everyday and was wondering maybe it's better i just fall sick like the last time and lose a couple of kgs...

stinks~ nx time i better think twice what i'm asking for~
zzzzzzzz

p/s: due to my condition, i am very fussy with the food i consume so that i can get it over and done with. my dad came to me with a glass of grape juice with a tinge of grapefruit... and i was thinking with sensitive stomach, grapefruit which is super sour is not good for me. MY DAD INSIST THAT THE JUICE WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER~ and was nagging nonstop. stinks~ so i told him i'll drink half a glass... i was reading wiki and IF i tio stomach flu, fruit juice will make me LS more... wow~ my parents really do love me -_-'''

2010-07-22T00:01:00.003+08:00

i'm off to jakarta in less than 8 hours!

still doing research for my sermon! gosh~ i getting headache + heart attack!
and i've to admit a huge part of the headache is WHAT TO WEAR!!! zzz

found this while doing my research:

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.

Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."

2010-07-19T18:15:00.002+08:00

hmmm went maccas with tab for dinner on friday and we were sitting just in front of the counters. while tab was ordering, a stranger came to me "can i have a dollar please?" i was a bit taken aback cause the last time i was in this kind of situation is like 5 years ago and the guy said he needed $$ to take transport home, so my friend and i gave him $1 each (he wanted more coins but we told him we didnt have). we walked pass him again and saw him eating old chang kee -_-''' my fren turned to give me a dirty look, but i'm fine.. at least he didn't snatch/steal?

anyway this guy at maccas wanted $1, and my reaction? "oh, ok" and i took out 1 buck to give him, without hesitation.. he didnt say why he need it, and i didnt ask him either. maybe i'm too tired to geh gao, or maybe $1 in sg is fairly insignificant? then after that i was wondering, could he be an angel? (see la, SOT's fault) but i didnt feel the peace of God that he is, and angels don't eat french fries right? hahaha or by so willingly giving that $1, am i being a bad steward of my finances? or am i being generous to love all God's children? (fyi that guy is not a christian, i know)

hmm, from this simple event that took place, can u see how extreme our opinions can swing? left: bad steward of finances for giving money to random ppl, even if it's $1!! (i'm sure someone will think this way, no?)
right: what is $1? just be generous and bless that person...

on the other hand, i may not exactly be very kind to "blind" people who sells tissues. sometimes i buy, sometimes i don't. just last week i met 1 couple, in their 40s-50s selling and both holding the stick thingy for blind ppl. i've observed their reactions while selling tissue to other ppl near me and i can be quite certain they're not errr really blind.. i may be wrong, but it's based on my observation. in this case, i'm afraid i don't have sufficient compassion to buy tissue from them.
and then we can have the left and right opinion again
left: why buy sth that u don't need? if buy from ntuc can buy double
right: its just $1 (or $2, ya, inflation, some sell 2 bucks), be generous and buy
in this case, i'm picky, cos showing me that u're blind when u're not just to gain my compassion, is cheating me.. but Christians are meant to be cheated right? i'm afraid not

at least the guy at maccas didn't lie to me that he's using my money for transport when he wanted to buy french fries.

from my friend's FB post:

One day there is a conversation between a teacher and a student:

Teacher: tell me about your family
Boy: My Father's name is Laughing and my mother name is Smiling....
Teacher: You Must be Kidding..
Boy: No, that's my brother, mam...
I am Joking. :)

wow! i just took a 3-hour nap from 430pm-730pm. how to sleep tonight?!

i responded to altar call today and it was fabulous! i'm free! heee i feel so happy & light! it's my first experience, but unlike some people that i've seen.. for me, there's no *ahem* action at all just that while waiting for my turn for prayer (choice of words impt since random ppl may randomly search & quote me, but you shld try imagine more colorful words) i can feel a squeeze in my belly, like it's being twisted. i felt it when i was holding a girl and i told peien like twice i need to go for prayer & trying my best to escape from assisting the ppl. and because it's been a while since the session started, i don't want it to end before being prayed for! but in the midst of waiting, i cannot just stand there and ignore others who need help. i helped like 3 grps then decided its time to chiong! it was fast & fuss-free! just a couple of coughs, felt fabulous & the twisted-belly feeling was gone! there're some interesting ones too! hee

oh and for the first time, i experienced H laughter on mon! ahh fabulous! haha i hope tml will have 1 more round!

2010-07-08T00:20:00.003+08:00

my fav song to listen (almost top of my most-played list on itouch) while driving many hours in aussie this year =)

我问为什么
那女孩传简讯给我
而你为什么
不解释低着头沉默
我该相信你很爱我
不愿意敷衍我
还是明白
你已不想挽回什么

想问为什么
我不再是你的快乐
可是为什么
却苦笑说我都懂了
自尊常常将人拖着
把爱都走曲折
假装了解是怕
真相太赤裸裸
狼狈比失去难受

我怀念的是无话不说
我怀念的是一起作梦
我怀念的是争吵以后
还是想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日
也记得那一首歌
记得那片星空
最紧的右手
最暖的胸口
谁记得
谁忘了

想问为什么
我不再是你的快乐
可是为什么
却苦笑说我都懂了
自尊常常将人拖着
把爱都走曲折
假装了解是怕
真相太赤裸裸
狼狈比失去难受

我怀念的是无话不说
我怀念的是一起作梦
我怀念的是争吵以后
还是想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日
也记得那一首歌
记得那片星空
最紧的右手
最暖的胸口
谁忘了

我怀念的是无言感动
我怀念的是绝对炽热
我怀念的是你很激动
求我原谅抱得我都痛
我记得你在背后
也记得我颤抖着
记得感觉汹涌
最美的烟火
最长的相拥

谁爱得太自由
谁过头太远了
谁要走我的心
谁忘了那就是承诺
谁自顾自地走
谁忘了看着我
谁让爱变沉重
谁忘了要给你温柔

我怀念的
我还有想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日
也记得那一首歌
记得那片星空
最紧的右手
最暖的胸口

我放手
我让座
假洒脱
谁懂我多么不舍得
太爱了
所以我
没有哭没有说

2010-06-30T20:13:00.003+08:00

PTL! i'm alive! preaching test is over! it was fun! not as scary as i thought it was. actually everyone is sooo tired from preparing their own sermon, when other ppl are preaching, they're kinda KO enough not to hear what u're preaching. hahaha just keep calling down FIRE! that will do the trick =X

STINKS! portugal is out of world cup! i support them lor! and it's not because of christiano ronaldo!
let me see what i know about portugal...

mum just asked me abt sun's rental. told her that it's paid by company.. and she asked "how come newspaper didn't say?" dots.. if news paper state, then its not news liao wat -_-

then as an e.g, i asked my mum "when dad went to work in australia (mum & i even went to stay with dad for 2 weeks to sponge on free accommodation) is the company pay right?"
and she's like "oh ya~"
bo wey gong liao~

some to think of it, i paid 200+/night for a 1-bedroom apartment in melbourne. so times 30 days, it's like more than $6k.. so rental of $28k for the whole estate, is actually quite cheap hor?

p/s: I HAD TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH FOR THAT 1-BEDROOM APARTMENT TO SAVE $$$

2010-06-21T19:26:00.001+08:00

2 Timothy 3

¹³ But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴ But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

________________________________________________

i've been having serious PMS this mth. feeling very very lethargic and sleep pattern a bit haywire. trying to chiong my book reading + preaching test in less than 2 weeks whereby i need to prepare & preach 5 sermons. i'm only looking forward to it if i'm well prepared! haha the key to good preaching is really preparation, not just being led by the HS!

tml MCQ test on GS CL & VL and i cant find my VL book. fabulous right? i going to do the test by faith. OMG! this is blind faith -_-'''

i'm now at a phase that i need to surrender to God and it's difficult. my flesh debate that i don't have to do it the way that i'm doing now, but i know i have to. today i learn that to attain mercy, i need to go through testings & difficulties. this is a test on submitting myself to God and i must pass!

team outing tml! hope can take lotsa crazy pics!

p/s: sometimes i do appreciate some encouragement instead of just "judging" comments which i know is supposed to push me further & achieve more....

2010-06-09T21:53:00.002+08:00

tsk! i'm so tenene in getting stuck in reading the same book for my SOT assignment, I NEED TO GET IT OVER AND DONE WITH! i can't remem when was the last time i had to finish a 490 pg book. especially considering this is about the bible! crucify my flesh! muahahaha! i find the author for Foundational Truths utterly amazing. some topics in this book includes repentance, faith, law & grace, types of baptism (i don't even know there's like a few types), Holy Spirit, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead and eternal judgement. ya, exactly, tell me about it.. WAHAHAHA! LEFT 100 PAGES! CHIONG AH!!!

jiayou! i left 2 more books for these couple of weeks! and i'm very excited to start preparing my 10 sermons! need lots and lots of time to prepare! and mission trip to jakarta! i think it's really fun to go with the indo mates! my 'daddy' (he calls me his 'daughter' cause i've the same name as his daughter, and he's VP of electronics coy, juan dao la!) says will bring us go eat traditional indo food! hopefully got time!! so excited!

i may consider asking one of my mates if can bring me around if i wana go jakarta after graduation for a more in-depth trip! wheeeeee! tix to jakarta not that ex, but the thing is quite unsafe =(

guess wat, GS CL VL mcq test this fri. 1hour 90 qns!!! i have yet to flip through... u'll be surprised by how many things u can overlook in the basic bs books after being a Christian for so long. PB says that with just GS materials, can start a church, and i do believe that if can preach GS well, its sufficient. and i suddenly felt very appreciative of the systematic bs books we have in church. and i've totally taken it for granted. i feel that i take the Word that is being fed to me by so many great preachers every week for granted =( i hereby repent.

volunteered myself to do admin today (and tml)! a bit scared cause first time + going alone. and while waiting for i/c to come back, i was in artiste rm w PKH & PB & cindy... so scary... then they're just casually talking about their plans etc... i feel it's very blessed if can really talk to Ps more often cause true discipleship happens in the most natural circumstances (sounds familiar? i've been taught well.. haa)

done with ALMOST ALL the bs curriculum (left 5 fold ministry) and now starting on Sermon on the Mount. so exciting! it's been years since i last heard that! =)

was just going through the schedule for SOT, in fact from now till grad, time will just fly past like never before. CHIONG AH!

2010-05-10T21:03:00.005+08:00

ok! gift of Holy Spirit was initially scary cause feel paisey to move in the gifts, in case not accurate. anyway most imptly is to yield to the HS and let Him move. be open... interesting!

last fri we practice interpretation of tongues, not bad.. today we practice prophesying. man, the girl i partner with, prophesy accurately for me la! gosh~ to let go what needs to be let go. which is true. and then i really felt comforted + the peace of God, which is really fabulous! hehe

nx few days will cover the other gifts like discernment, faith, healing, miracles, wisdom, knowledge. exciting!

thurs & fri is homelytics with pastor tan!
i need to start preparing my 10 sermons soon! muahahaha!

2010-05-03T19:19:00.002+08:00

well, handed in very first piece of assignment, which is bible reading checklist. fierce la! was chionging over the weekend to fulfill O_O of course i read it with understanding and did no speed reading etc, so miss the point lor...

we ended hcgl course today and tml we'll start on gifts of the HS, which is supposedly very very exciting. but the part of them blindfolding us and asking us to discern stuff, is kinda scaring me. i just comfort myself not to be paisey, but we're all there to learn. gosh~

i need to chiong more reading! tml's a looong day, sch + work + leaders meet. hopefully tml is last day of work, i feel quite suffocated cause of lack of time for self... i need to do more! need my breakthrough!

i've come to terms and need to be firm with my decisions. need to constantly remind myself of my goals and to be focused. the reasons why i came to SOT2010. =)

2010-04-29T00:35:00.001+08:00

it utterly irks me
crucify me! O_O

2010-04-28T00:21:00.002+08:00

but i'm not feeling happy =(

2010-04-25T00:19:00.002+08:00

my sermon for mock cg. it's not perfect, first time preparing sermon! i preached 95% word for word, as recommended for beginners =X

do let me know how to improve ya? =)

Faith that Move Mountains

Heb 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

[Prayer]

Friends, faith is a process and you cannot build it overnight! Let me share with you a bible character, who’s a man of faith! He is none other than Abraham! You see! When God asked Abraham to move to Canaan, he was already 75 years old and in faith, he went! He also waited in faith for the promise son from God to come to pass! Ultimately, he is even willing to sacrifice his son, Isaac to prove his faith!

The birthplace of faith is inside your heart, not your head! We need to trust in God, otherwise, it’s not faith at all!

So, how do you build up your faith? Let me share with you 3 points:

1) Pray regularly

By praying regularly, you are having conversations with God and keeping yourself in line with His plan for your life. Abraham was constantly having conversations with God whereby God reveals His promises to him and increases his faith.

There’s a popular saying that “you are what you eat”. Similarly, “we are a reflection of what we immerse ourselves in”! Prayer is a time whereby you’re immersed in God’s presence and a time that He reveals Himself to you. Friends, in my final year of uni, I was so stress over the exams, I was crying every night because I was in a state of panic! And as I read the word of God, He reminded me to be anxious for nothing. So I immediately pray till there’s a breakthrough and trust God to do a miracle for me! And indeed God came through for me! Faith is released in the atmosphere of prayer! [turn to your neighbors and say]

2) Read the word of God

Rom 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Friends! How many of you would totally put your trust in a person whom you have never met or have little knowledge of? Similarly, why would anyone place total trust in a God that he or she does not know? By hearing, reading and meditating on the word of God, you will begin to understand the nature of God and know of all His wonderful promises to us. To know God, is to know His word! This will start building up your faith!

3) Be patient and persistent

Abraham waited 25 years for his promised son to come to pass! Nowadays, everyone is looking for a solution to their problem, NOW! I want patience... AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!

Everybody wants what they want, when they want it. This may lead people to approach God in the same manner. But this is not true for God!

God works at a time that is according to His plan. He is never early and He is never late! God is always on time! Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience. So, friends, I want to encourage you, to build up your faith, you must be persistent and you must be patient. Let’s be like Jacob, who wrestled with God and never let Him go till God blesses him.

Dear fellow SOT mates, what does faith stands for?

Faith is Forsaking All, I Trust Him! [turn to your neighbour]

Faith is for everyone and for every situation!

When you feel lost – Pro 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding

2 Cor 5:7 - You walk by faith and not by sight!

When in doubt – Matthew 17:20

If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Hallelujah! Let’s give God a big hand!

Dear SOT mates! We have to continually increase our faith till we have a breakthrough in the spiritual realm and see God’s promises come to pass!

To build up our faith, we need to diligently seek God and trust in Him. And all God’s people say “Amen”. Let’s put aside our things and pray in the spirit.

Today with every eye closed and every head bowed, friends, like what I have shared just now, faith is about trusting in God and without faith, it is impossible to please Him. Sometimes situations or circumstances may challenge our faith in God. You may even ask God, why am I going through all these? But friends, this is what faith is all about. God has not promised us a bed of roses but we know that all things will turn out for good for those who love Him. So today, how many of us in this room, we are willing to say, God I want to renew my faith. God, I want to have a greater faith in You.

On the count of three I want you to lift up your hand.

One, two, three.

*Speak in tongues*

Let’s repeat this prayer after me.

Dear heavenly Father, I come to you today, with a decision, to renew my faith in You. I will commit to praying regularly. I will commit to reading the bible. I will commit to be patient & persistent. Lord, I pray that through all circumstances, I will walk by faith. For it is written, with You, nothing is impossible. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

woohoo! morn pm week!
mon woke up at 445, i reached jw, just in time at 7am! (supposed to reach at 645.. hurhur)
tues, BADS! i woke up at 610!!! quickly chiong + drove down (didn't speed due to ppl hogging the right lane, DOTS!) and reached at 715, feel super paisey, especially when wearin sot tag -_-'''
wed, as lesson starts at 945, we've the option to attend other pm venues, without reasonable doubt, i went RW and hitch a ride from peien to sch! on our way to sch at 830, jingmin told us cls starts at 1030 instead! so went pioneer mall for breakfast w nic too! nice~
tml, need to wake up at 445 again. gosh! CRUCIFY MY FLESH! and i start work tml. peien recommendand a super duper temp data entry assignment. it's approx a 5-day assignment, which i like! earn just a bitty bit of moola to aid with my ferociously continuously depleting bank account! gosh~ each time i see the bank balance, i tio heart attack and God has always miraculously resurrected me O_O

oh, i was telling tab + peeps that IF i die after the age of 60 years old, DON'T RAISE ME UP FROM THE DEAD, cause i will soooo hunt u down ok! that's my current plan.. if i change my mind, i'll let u know.. imagine if i passed away at the age of like 80 and was sun-tanning at the backyard of my mansion in heaven, with flawless skin etc, and u had to raise me up from the dead and i'm back to my old wrinkled self. eeks! haha but if i'm not yet 60, please feel free to raise me from the dead... WAHAHAHAHA! of cause ultimately if God really wan me to be raised from the dead, den i bo wei gong already~

now we're doing the book of romans and it's interesting! starting the part on antinomanism and it's been YEEEARS since i heard that sermon and i enjoyed it. cause it talks about being legalistic etc...

i'm no longer feeling confused, but i still think there's sth to be done~
self-reminder: it's for a better future~

2010-04-18T21:05:00.002+08:00

updates on mock!

i couldn't slp the night before 2nd day of mock cg cos too gan jiong for PREACHING! gosh~ i barely give bs and now i'm preaching? tsktsk my preaching is for round2 and i realised that for round1, my team leader, who's a cgl is preaching! den i'm thinking ho sey liao, preach after cgl, is super stressful. so i already did some mental preparation... BUT when i heard him preach in round1, i was thinking "wah, jialat, sooo on fire, i sure tio drown later" eh, ppl cgl leh... plus since it's message on faith, guys have this more dominant + power tone when they preach? sth like that?

anyway during the break to turn over for round2 ppl, due to v bad ventilation (hot weather), the evaluator chased everyone outa the hostel living room for some fresh air to enter b4 we start nx round. so ppl left in the living room, are those who're taking items. i came out of the toilet and i was sooooo gan jiong, i started perking myself up and started shouting "SPIRIT OF FEAR GET OUT! GET OUT IN JESUS NAME!" "GET OUT!" etc... my mates thought i was mad, i just told them i very gan jiong, need to get into the zone.. (omg) den they started laughin.. then those ppl outside opened the door and started to come in and they said "wah.. who got delivered?" "wah, got manifestation ar" den i'm like HUH?! u guys can hear from outside? "ya la, very loud leh..." AISEH, super paisey la~ dots... then when all of us are taking our places, i was breathing v fast and giving the v scared face.. then the E noticed and asked me not to gan jiong.. HOW NOT TO SIA?! haha

so start liao... before i noe it, it's word. GOSH~ then i started preaching... a bit fast at the beginning, i told jingmin to mouth to me whenever she thinks i preach to fast. so i started to slow down. and somehow, just after the intro, i got into the zone and the nervousness just left me. and i felt like moses! haha i can feel the HS guiding me what to say, as i have practiced in my room... and when i look into the ppl's eyes, i got a bit the "and this girl say she cant preach, bluff 1" look from them.. haha man, it was a fabulous feeling... and i was quite nervous at ministering part cos i never done it before! so when it was time for evaluation, i was quite curious what the E would say.. apparently, she liked me preaching. her down point for me, is that the ending too abrupt and she said ppl are expecting more and then suddenly end already. nice~ haha PM say must leave the ppl hungry for more wat =X yay~ happy~

after mock, i went home to rest awhile and met tab for shopping at bugis st! it was fun! both of us bought stuffs and within walking 2 hours, tab says she needs to take a break from walking. PTL! cause i was just waiting for her to say it... man, we're getting old~ tsktsk it was fun time!

sat was julie's bday party and i had fun! jacq kept hogging my hp, she shld just get an iphone! tsk~

stayed over at tab's plc due to morn pm at 7am! and she's fabulous to offer her plc so that i dun have to wake up at like 5pm to rush for pm! svc was fabulous today! woohoo!

nx week i've to wake up at 430am everyday! hallelujah! pray that i can wake up on time!

2010-04-14T21:57:00.003+08:00

ok, i change my mind. mock is indeed fun! hurhur

testimony (3 mins) - i was done in 2! gosh~ i was talking like a bullet train cause too gan jiong. comment from evalutor: very good, very excited and.. very nervous... hee~ anyway as i was taking testimony in round 1, i asked my mate sitting beside me to prepare a testimony, which she v willingly helped.. then i need one more and i shouted "anyone going to share testimony later?" and ALL of them just look at each other and i tio stun! "i found 1 person already, i need 1 more" and they all continue to look at each other... gosh~ den my team leader bo bian, said he'll share.. omg! imagine if i didnt ask den scarly only 1 planned girl raise hand. dots! but subsequently, the other mates understood what it means to support. so that's fabulous!

worship (5mins) - not sure if i exceeded. i was supposedly to lead in round 3 but due to some issue with round 2's songsheets, my grp was swapped with round 2 ppl! and was informed just 10 mins b4 round 2 start! gosh~ i super gan jiong. and in round 1, evaluator commented that she wants word of encouragement. hence, by default, dearest jingmin is to support me and prepare word of encouragement on the spot. poor her, she not feeling well, den still need to vomit out word of encouragement. anyway i told her wat to share =X and due to time constraint, once i open word of encouragement, she immed shared. and i think super obvious we pak kak cause the evaluator asked if it was planned. oppsie! hurhur anyway she said flow was good and i know what i want to do... BUT SHE DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABT FEELING THE PRESENCE! tsk~

i cant believe these 2 items are over with a blink of an eye. my most stressful is tml round2! preaching! OMG! i can't believe i'm preaching. hai~ i'm not much of a public speaking person, so hopefully i'll do fabulous! it's about stepping outa the comfort zone!!!!

after mock, meeting tab for dinner! so excited, cause it's de-stressing from mock! i wan buy bag!

super dots lor~ today's my mama's bday and my dad bought her a LV bag. and my bday he bought me a cheapo iphone whereby he FORCE me to trade-in my beloved red E71 so he just need to topup $68. DOTS!
my mama super funny, cause she has no idea daddy plans to buy LV for her, so we just walked in and she's wondering why in the world we're in LV... and dad asked her to choose sth she like. for 10 mins, she walked ard but her mouth just kept saying "don't need la..." "wat for..." "so expensive.." u get the idea.. then i keep asking her to just carry 1 and try (see, the making of a sales person.. dun need to buy.. just try first... cause, once u try u will gian! haha) she keep tuo tuo la la den i dun care her, i purposely aim the gay(so cute!) and asked to see neverfull, but no zip, mama no like. so he took a couple of designs out... i was trying to read his face if he got the "i don't think u'll buy look" i think got a bit... hahaha he's sissy, but i cant tell if he's gay (nowadays v hard to say) but he has flawless skin, NICE hairstyle (it looks like normal style but look closely, can see nice layering done) and he smokes(nicotine stained teeth).. hmm, maybe i shld not be banker but be profiler.. hahaha aww he so cute~ i think he can tell i was admiring him.. =X anyway the last time i went in the rackey the LV bags for mama, i already spotted him but he too busy serving other ppl, so today is goods! MUAHAHAHAHA!
i think mama is v happy w the LV bag, and i think its really one of the most expensive pressies she gotten.. apparently dad is going to get a bit of returns from selling his stocks this week hurhur
is this the blessing of my sowing into BF + going to sot? =)

2010-04-14T00:56:00.000+08:00

oh gosh~ the beginning of mock cg!

it's supposedly fun, but i'm sooo not feeling the fun O_O

2010-04-12T20:29:00.002+08:00

tsktsk... feeling disappointed but shall not dwell on it (though the flesh keeps bringing me back)
crucify the flesh! hahaha i must be focused!

john bevere's sessions were fabulous today! he used the word "ginormous"! so i shall use it more often... hurhur he preached on how we shld submit to authority, we may not agree on their leadership, but we still have to submit as it is God who gave them the positions of authority except when what they ask us to do, is against the word of God i.e lying etc. i think that's v applicable to working adults and to leaders over our lives. 2nd session, he shared on intimidation, which is v relevant..

i need to finalise my sermon!!!! omg, time seems to fly so fast! and i'm already lagging behind in bible reading and i'm not even working! gosh~

p/s: keith helped me crack eggs at toastbox yday.. awww.. so sweet.. hai~ i'm so flower eat... and he paid for my drink, which is quite dots cause i'm the 1 who asked if wana meet then he still treat me, feels like i'm hunting him down for free food (i not that kind! haha) he's earning big moola nx mth and i already hinted him i wan good meal, apparently he didnt even protest. does that mean a yes?? haha oh, and while we're at toastbox, met one of our ex-colleagues which is his lunch kaki, tio caught.. zzzz and her baby son is so cute! coming 1 yr old and keith said "aww so cute, how i wish i can have one too" WAHAHAHAHAHA! *ahem*

2010-04-10T15:09:00.003+08:00

am now sipping coffee in my room and finalising my sermon... will practice my sermon on someone tonight *ahem* hopefully it'll be good! hurhur

slpt like a pig last night and it was fabulous rest~

okok, need to chiong everything by 4pm so i can go jogging... i can feel my flabs.. bads!

2010-04-10T00:44:00.002+08:00

omg, it's 1245am, and i just woke up from a 4-hour nap. and man, it's really crucifying the flesh cause right after school, my whole body really felt like it was just on the verge of collapsing... i need rest.. waking up at 615am everyday is no joke man, ok, my bad for sleeping after midnight daily zzzz

hcgl cls is fun! today poh came to demo cause we learn about worship, super funny! and poh's guitar skills is fabulous! can tell that some of the foreign students are totally in awe of his playing, actually i am too! hurhur and PM's preaching is really the funniest among all the preachers so far =X

went for interview for a PT job and was offered. very very reluctant. in fact i didnt feel very good while making my way there and accepting the offer (verbally)... it's quite ulu and will take some travelling time... hai~ just now i started reading my econs book for CFA and it's BAD~ i forgot alot of things which i studied in uni and taking a PT job is not as wise. but u noe that kind of feeling whereby almost all SOT mates are working, earning some income, and i'm totally not earning anything at all.... its like i feel that i'm not fully utilising my time... but imagine i've not been working & i'm already so tired... will i be able to cope? of cause there's always tuition, but i'm afraid of the commitment, ultimately, these are kids' lives that u're impacting. and not just cust svc, whereby just smile at customers and say "hi" zzzzzz

hai~ i almost did allow history to repeat itself. almost. ok, maybe it did, but just a little. and it's totally messing my mind. bad bad bad...

2010-04-06T19:40:00.003+08:00

sot is getting fabulous!

it's really crucifying my flesh! i've to wake up by 6.15am every morning! i don't even wake up this early during JC days! so it's been like 7 years since i NEED to wake up this early? and i've yet to be late! the punishment thingy is really working for me =X

we're just finishing Going On To Perfection (about the tabernacle) tomorrow and starting on Home Cell Grp Leadership course. i heard it's super fun!!! supposedly PA is to teach, but i think due to AC, he's not. sads~ but i like pst ming too! his lessons are fun! anyway i remem when PK did the churchwide bs on tabernacle, i loved it lots and that was JC days! and it's interesting to refresh my memory & we prayed through the tabernacle today. each furniture represents sth and we prayed through it. nice~

towards the end of today's class, while worshipping, pst ming (PM) asked us to write down what God is saying to us.. and write it as a first person: know that by My blood, you are a new man and I have empowered you to overcome every situation etc. and it was fun! and then, PM asked us to write a reply to God and then God's reply back to us. fun fun fun~ as i was just reading it again, i feel so touched. hehe

AHHH nx week is mock cg! i'm taking testimony, worship and word!!! and i need to prepare my own sermon! God, please save me! i just need to do my best and hope it's good enough!

i'm feeling quite weak in my body, so please pray for me... i think body on the verge of tio-ing flu. i've been eating my vit pills consistently since i came back from aus, i've no idea how can i fall sick (ok fine, vit pills are not miracle pills. but i still expect some form of high immunity if i'm making the effort to eat pills zzzz). so i'm eating my vit pills + drink tea (tea has antioxidants which is gd rite?) and avoiding unhealthy food cause i need my voice for worship! omg, my first time do worship also zzzzz

ok, i need to do hw for my sermon.. i've dug out all my bs books frm getting started onwards. omg, those books are old.. OMG my GS lesson 1 was in 2002 O_O
am i old or wat?!

welcome back, my old friend. i hope we are on friendly terms -_-'''

2010-04-05T19:26:00.001+08:00

today is a bad bad bad very bad day~

i'm really not feeling fabulous =(

2010-04-04T15:10:00.008+08:00

wow, had a reaaaal busy week, hence lack of updates!

firstly was on sat, 27th mar, whereby jingmin + caleb are treating me dinner to cele my bday! so we're walking around, looking for place to eat, den suddenly jingmin walked straight into 313's F.I.S.H, and i saw tab, wei, nic and chenbing sitting together! my first thought "siao bo.. why the combi so weird 1?" den i still went over and said "why are u guys out tgr?!" den when jingmin sat down beside them, THEN i got the hint. FINE, i'm slow. old already~ OMG~ i can't believe i'm so slow. and i was still telling tab i didnt get it till jingmin's asking me to sit cause while talking to tab/wei, i was still standing. yikes! bads~ and then more n more ppl came.. so happy! there's jacq, reagan, taian, peien, mingli, melissa! i think i'm most touched when i saw taian! and he's the first to sms me happy birthday! omg, i really felt so touched.. haha awww it was really a sweet surprise! and then.... when it was pressie time, got SK voucher! woohoo! time for my earings! and my mama sponsored the remaining of the earings =)

sun after svc, went to meet my sisters+dan for ce10 & movie.. i'm sooooo touched~~~ hurhur and we watched When In Rome... its so weird when it's the boys that wanna watch cause usually boys don't like chick flick.. well, i suppose they're really my sisters then.. WAHAHAHA!

mon, met kaisim for fabulous dessert!
tues went dinner w parents!
thurs, i went town w jm & caleb (YES YES YES I AM EXTRA AGAIN *roll eyes*) and then hang out w rena in evening! by then i was sooooo super gone~
fri-sun easter!

here're some FABULOUS presents which i've received this yr. way more than i have expected. and am very happy with this yr's celebration!

the extremely powerful facial masks from peien... i feel so stress using this mask (still on my desk, dun dare to touch.. i need to resist the temptation of framing it up zzz)

pot designed & drawn by keith kum

sewn & designed by jimmy kum

the event of them presenting their presents was quite interesting...
during dinner, k suddenly put the moola plant on the table
k: this is your present...
me (i already know he's giving me moola plant): oooo nice!
me touching leaves...
k: do u notice anything special?
me: errr its moola plant?
k: NO! look closely...
me: wat thing?
k: the pot la!
me: OOOOOOOO nice~
k looks slightly more satisfied...
j den took out this small drawstring bag
i was shocked as i thot moola plant is from both of them
opened the pressie
me (smiling EXTREMELY widely): OMG!!!! THIS IS SOOOO CUTE!!!
k (totally stunned at my reaction): see la jimmy! she likes urs more than mine!
me (jialat liao.. super obvious he felt hurt): eh no la.. i like both ur presents... the moola's plant is good too (tried explaining some, but no use)
by then, it's a point of no return... hahaha i felt so guilty after that... jingmin was saying y i didnt at least give the same expression.. u noe, so they no jealous of each other.. eh i where got think so much.. i think a lot la, but i dun think THAT much.. but it's funny.. from then on, i make a lot of conscious effort to appre k more than j =X

went out with the sisters last nite!

it kinda feels nice when the guy pays for the food WAHAHAHAHA!
(aiya, he so rich + he rejected my moola)

my sister & me =)

while on the cab home last night, it suddenly came to my mind that these 2 boys don't actually have to come to town to meet me to watch movie. they can just watch at JP wat, just nx to their house. but they actually bothered to take train down, keith came from work at buona vista and jimmy came from home at jw, just to watch movie & hang out w me... i feel so touched. and then they had to take cab home. awwww i mean if other times, whereby j's bf is here (he stays in east) and he only meets j in town, else, both of them can just have brotherly time at JP. oh no~~

2010-03-29T01:08:00.001+08:00

i had an utterly fabulous weekend and i'm totally loving it =)

2010-03-22T20:21:00.002+08:00

i was pleasantly surprised when pst ming preached for 1st session today! ok, he really did live up to his name & his lesson is VERY FUN! he's very very funny! but i still support PA! b4 he started preaching, there're lotsa empty random seats on the floor area & he asked ppl from the back to move, but alot of the students got their butt stuck to the chair and didn't move so we spent like 10mins w the help of kimhock to fill up all the seats... "dun need to sit with your friends la.. u mean u want to talk during my lesson?" super funny la! hahaha and then he gave us his personal email add and said "if you not happy, can email me..." FUNNY! hahahahaha if SOT students can email him to complain abt such minute stuff... then they shld attend other schs =X

i like today's lesson... talking abt laying on of hands + what happen to us at 2nd coming... v interesting. its been like 4 yrs since i attended FT2 & some of what i learnt is ma chiam new to me... opsssie~

looking forward to more!

time for jogging~ i figure out that the weight i gained in aussie will not just disappear lidat despite me psycho-ing myself that my weight will miraculously return to what i was b4 i left... yikes!

WHY MUST I GAIN WEIGHT?!
WHY~
WHY CANT I JUST BE LIKE PEIEN?
IT'S SO UNFAIR
WHY~~~~~~~

ps: if i pray to God v passionately to increase my metabolism rate+no gain weight, is it possible? nth is impossible w God right? =X

2010-03-21T18:00:00.002+08:00

everyone's asking how's SOT! and it's fabulous! we're going FT2 now, so its not v chim yet. i think they're still giving us some time to settle down, it's only the first week. 1 day orientation and 4 days of class and 1 OPM. fierce~

seeing my lesson plan, nx 3 days still FT2 by pst bobby + pst derek. then its GOTP by pst ming! i heard he's fabulous and i'm looking forward to it!

went out with the boys (maybe i'll start referring them as my sisters instead) last night and they're in quarreling mood. NO GOOD AT ALL~ and k walked off & i asked j to go talk to him and he refused to, so they went their separate ways.. *roll eyes* we watched The Lovely Bones. eh, its ok~ but i would've given it a miss, cause i thought it was a thriller/mystery kinda movie. BUT ITS NOT! some parts of it, i feel that it's childish, partly cos i'm not those v emo kind. and talking abt first kiss is like roll eyes to me.. imdb's review is pretty bad... but the trailer made it look really nice~ tio cheated zzzzzz it's more of fantasy genre, and if i wanted fantasy, i would've watched alice in wonderland instead... its johnny depp u noe.. awwwwww

2010-03-18T19:37:00.015+08:00

yesyes... i'm back!
gonna post a summary of my aussie trip here. think u've seen all the pictures in FB? you only saw 20% of the photos i took and there're exclusive pictures which i can't post on FB! hence, this post is rated PG!

DAY1
took a 7hour flight to melbourne at 2100hours via A380. the plane is indeed v big. seats slightly bigger. entertainment(movies) soso, but i'm surprised that the new movies come w subtitles. me like!

DAY2
arrived at the airport 7am. went to pick the rental car. its a 1.8litre Holden (GM motors if not wrong) which is similar to toyota camry. personally, i prefer the sg camry. but it's good enough. got horrified when my dad took out my driving license to ask the rental coy to add my name as co-driver. and we are required to pay 30AUS/day as additional insurance cause i'm young -_- and it adds up to additional cost of AUS210 which i told my dad i don't need to drive (ya, so dumb, its supposed to be a driving trip and i don't want to drive). dad says already travel all the way here, shouldn't let this 210 affect the trip + he had corporate rate. so after adding in the cost, its almost the same as renting by self. TSK~
so at almost 10am, we embarked on our driving trip, heading straight to the Great Ocean Road. considering we barely slept on the flight, we're super KO to drive and dad + me had to keep taking turns to drive while the other sleeps. after the whole trip, that 210 is worth the moola, cos there're quite a few times whereby by dad cant take it and if i don't drive, we definitely can't cover the distance which we wanted to
stopped at Portland town. it was quiet by 8pm and we ate Chinese food (dots rite~ roll eyes) CAUSE ALL OTHER SHOPS ARE CLOSED! zzz the lady who served us was VERY nice & friendly, chinese la... then we're guessing where she's from, how old she is etc.. she asked where we're from (we're the only customers) and said SG! and she's like "oh! singapore! my neighboring country. i'm malaysian" O_O WOW! haha she totally don't look msian + she's really really pretty. den she continued "singapore is very stressful isn't it? ppl there run, they don't walk..." she said it in a nice tone la... and continued that she can't take a stressful lifestyle & she just want her daughter to be happy, academics is not important. unlike her msian relatives who're in sg, send kids for tuition, piano lessons, swimming lessons etc (tell me abt it man.. haha) she doesn't want to do that for her kid. as long as her kid is healthy & happy. that's most impt. and they like living in aus cos it's stress-free. in my words, it's call living a simple life... its obvious they don't go for luxury living. they obviously don't earn much from their quiet chinese stall and its obvious they don't spend much. going to melbourne city only like twice a year. IT'S LIKE ASKING ME TO GO ORCHARD ROAD ONLY TWICE A YEAR! OMG! i can go orchard like twice a week lor. and hor~ shopping in melbourne city, is not even close to orchard rd. i appreciate the existence of orchard rd more than ever.
I HEART ORCHARD RD! BIG TIME!!

DAY3
we aim to reach adelaide by end of today.
passed by Mount Gampier, which we ate fabulous breakfast + see the blue lake:

we then stayed at a motel just outside adelaide city & drove to the city area for dinner.

DAY4
head to adelaide central market for FABULOUS breakfast + walk around. shopping not fabulous la. too tired to shop also...
spent about half a day there and we headed to barossa valley, where the vineyards are. by the time we reached, it was 8pm and time to get a motel. a few motels are full due to long weekend and locals are traveling and my dad got quite gan jiong. managed to get a room in a train-themed motel. very interesting. the room was good though. gd experience.

not bad at all!

DAY5
drove to the whispering wall which was really interesting! haha then we went to visit jacob's creek to get some wine. already half day gone. started out trip toward Flinders Ranges & Outback and stopped at Quorn for the night. very small town. the bar licensed to open till 10pm only. WHICH BAR IN SG CLOSES AT 10PM? haha while waiting for our seats at the bar for dinner (the only place to get dinner at 8pm in Quorn town) one of the locals came over and place his hand on my shoulder and asked "are u korean?" i tio stun la~ more of his friendliness (u noe sg, so not used to this kinda thing) said he has been to a few asian countries and can't really distinguish which country we're from. apparently he's been to sg. he said sg is clean. and i dun suppose other asian countries can be considered clean. so he knows his stuff? wahahaha
omg, i look like korean? =X

DAY6
reached flinders ranges! it's outback, so very country kinda thing. did a scenic route, so no high-class roads to drive. it was fun~ and the animals are roaming ard while u drive. NICE!

and while driving along the expressway... i saw a fox sleeping on the side of the road!

awww so cute

on second look, maybe not so cute...

haha ok la, i know when i saw it along the road it's gone case =X
when i took all these pics, i so scared got car drive by and see me taking pics and thought i was the 1 who knocked it down! when i was approaching the fox, i was asking my dad to go w me cause i scared (how often do u come across fox carcass in sg?) den i read of stories of how bad the carcass smell as it was decomposing. so i was covering my nose when i approached the fox. surprisingly no smell! means it's fresh. so sad~
head back towards melbourne and we stopped at this small town for the night. and we made a BIG BIG mistake of not checking the room b4 taking it (to ensure it's up to my mama's standards) as it was really late & we don't have a choice. went into the room (on the 2nd floor via stairs) and i tried opening the attached door. NO TOILET IN THE ROOM? WHAT IN THE WORLD~ freaked out. went to the 1st floor toilet and no shower facilities. DOTS! den i went to the recep and ask, so there're just 2 cubicles of showering facilities for ladies on 2nd floor. omg. i so scared parents will complain. i should've guessed when the rate was cheaper than other motels we stayed. but i thought because the town was small, hence, cheaper room rates. so wrong. the room had no kettle/tv. just beds & towels. BAD~

DAY7
had a very fierce drive back towards melbourne city. went to the grampians to see see look look. eh, nth much leh. or we didnt explore enough~
stayed at a big town just outside central melbourne. nice motel~ ate mcdonalds (aka maccas in aus) not bad leh! taste a bit different, but duno how to say.. hah

DAY8
had fabulous breakfast and drove into melbourne to check into our apartment which we'll stay for the remaining 4 days! the apartment is fabulous! but it's expensive la, duh. it's just opp china town & really central. i really can't stay in the country man... i need the city. i need to know that the city is within my reach even when i don't go often. =X
we went to mornington peninsula to explore. very nice place. it's sth like sentosa? beach area with lotsa motels. nx time if i go melbourne, i wana stay there a day!

DAY9
shopping in melbourne city

DAY10
did brunswick st + DFO (factory outlet!)

DAY11
roam the city again

DAY12
back in sg

IN CONCLUSION
it was a good trip. not sure how it was be better. the driving part was really plan as we drive. very flexible. i like~ and half the trip was sight seeing, half was shopping. win-win situation hurhur.. didn't spend much as clothes not that suitable for sg + expensive
AND I WAS SO WRONG TO THINK THAT ITS SUMMER NOW! omg! do u know all that i packed was like tees + shorts!? and i only had 1 pair of jeans with me, which is the 1 i wore there. dots lor... and thank God i last min decided to dump my thick jacket into the luggage or else sure jialat. there're times where i wore 3 layers and still felt cold. DOTS! and the first few days i went there. the temp was like 13-20 degrees lor. WAT IN THE WORLD~

guess what's this? no prize for correct ans though...

thank God i didn't get to see this live:

ps: when we're almost towards the last couple of days of our drive, dad was complaining he has yet to see kangaroos.. i told him if he wana bang 1, he should drive at night and on the headlights. cause animals are attracted by the light, hence, they jump onto the road towards the cars. opsss =X

pps: while thinking about all these poor innocent animals getting knocked down by cars. i was hallucinating if one ever jumps into my way while i'm driving fast, i would soooo wana strangle the animal. eh wait, either way the animal will be dead. why dirty my hands when the car can do the job... OMG I AM SO SADISTIC! joking la... =X

BYES~

2010-03-03T11:07:00.005+08:00

ok, i survived *phew*

fri had cg and then last min meet up with the boys to watch "A Serious Man" by the coen brothers. i've become a fan of them since i watched No Country For Old Man (NCFOM) and it totally blew my mind. i psycho-ed them to watch this movie without reading the synopsis and have no idea what's it about. apparently, it's totally different from NCFOM and it's a slow moving film. it's about Jews and fairly artsy. so if looking for action, not for u. humour is very subtle-ly done, so must know how to catch. either i was high, or i was quick, cause i'm the only one laughing at some points in the movie (cinema quite empty, so not a fair gauge). i like~ but i rather watch NCFOM again, man, that movie really is fabulous~
(and the boys hate me for choosing this cos they were bored to death)
went for supper and chat till 4-ish... nice~ i'll miss those days~

my x-lunch kakis & meeee

sam's 21st bday!

reagan + jacq's ROM
(jacq looked SOOOO pretty that day *awwww*)

met up with gen + ry on mon for dinner. plus squeeze some last min info on melbourne from gen, must make use of her expertise. and she can't remember what are the must-buys. hence, i was busy throwing random ideas, hoping it'll spark of some remembrance in her mind O_O had a nice dinner at 313. the place was quiet man.... the food not bad leh, i quite like =X

i'm leaving tonight! man, it's quite unbelivable cause it was only like 2 weeks ago i booked the air tix and 1 week ago i booked the apartment. man, super last min. but i like~~~ hurhur my dad is settling the melbourne-adeleide-melbourne drive and i'm in charge of the itenary in melbourne (which means shopping la, duh) i hope it'll be a fun trip! i want to take lotsa lotsa pictures!
AND I HAVEN'T PACKED MY LUGGAGE~ BADS!

i'm super addicted to this song =X
it started out when k+mate wanted to sing this for competition. and i totally blacklisted the song cos it sounded bad and i wonder why they chose it.
THEN I REALISED, its them who spoiled the song. the original is fabulous~
k is VERY BAD at music arrangement and super stubborn to insist he's doing the right thing. *roll eyes*

2010-02-25T23:46:00.002+08:00

i'm dead beat tired~

woke up at 9am (havent woken up so early in such a loooooooooooong time). met k at JE at 1145 (supposed to meet him 1115 after his driving test). had drinks at canteen (me treat, cos he failed his driving, AGAIN). went up at 1215 to chat w the x-colleagues. 1230 lunch with my x-lunch kakis and 2 guys joined in. well, i didn't exactly like 1 of them + he totally self invited himself, super dots lor... den our usual lunch kakis cant freely talk among ourselves zzzzz

i tagged along w k to meet his friend at abt 3pm. well, his friend is kinda cute (not sure if he's gay! but i'm gonna ask k soon!) =X and both of us (the fren, not k) had a fabulous time making fun of k.. nice~~~~ I AM PROBABLY NOT GOIN TO SEE HIM FOR A LOOONG TIME (actually we're meeting in abt 1 mth's time, cos he kinda say he'll cele my bday w me + it's career fair weekend, which we decided to go kaypo tgr) he claims (not sure how true) that he can bring 1 guest/weekend to his gym and he offered to bring me *awwwww* i tried to act smart, and said that wouldn't j wana be the guest since it's free, and then he retracted the offer cos i was so concern for him. stupid~

tml is a long day... and i'm having an even longer weekend packed with events
OMG
i duno y, but i'm having a slight backache. BAD BAD BAD
super tired~
must cheng ji to rid the insomnia + practice slping early + wake up earlier or else as of 15 mar, i'll be in an extremely jialat state
O_O

I AM GETTING VERY FORGETFUL THESE DAYS! BAD BAD BADs

2010-02-24T01:31:00.003+08:00

my melbourne trip is confirmed! will be taking SQ's A380! hurhur the last time cheyanne took it, she tio high. i hope i'll tio high too! we'll land at 7am in the morning and immediately we'll start our road trip! coolness! my very first official road trip in aus! (the last time in perth not counted, cos only drove ard perth on weekends) we'll drive from melbourne to adelaide and back to melbourne for shopping! ok, i'm not expecting this to be a shopping trip, cause i know it will NOT be cheap + i'm jobless.. BUT IMAGINE ALL THE ANG MOH CLOTHES! i was strolling ard TPY central and saw those korean clothes which v high chance PRCs will wear and i'm like thinking OH YA! if i shop in melbourne, den ppl can NEVER say i dress like ah tiong (PRCs)
i bought some clothes over the last couple of mths and some ppl say i look like ah tiong lor~ wat what in the world.. i already dun like cheena and saying me look like them is BADS. hongkie not counted.

its so exciting that i duno which hotel i'm staying during the roadtrip. impromptu, me likes~

and then when i'm back, BOOMS! SOT start and then hor, mon is orientation + youth meeting, which will end at like 10pm at EXPO. i can foresee i need powerful eye masks O_O

i didn't meet the boys on mon, cos k tried calling j to confirm movie but j no ans. and when j called k back, k no ans (cos he busy steaming the boat... STEAMBOAT LA, get it? wahaha) so we no meet. angry~ cos i wont get to meet j anymore~ =(

went for PM today. man, 1 hr really pass super fast. dinner w KS, which was good =)
leaders meeting. fabulous sermon. we need to be more accepting towards ppl who're not like us. i super love it when pastor mention that we need to learn how to accept e.g trans/ gays.
you preach that, pastor!
yaya, u ppl roll eyes. get convicted, u ppl!
wahahahahaha!
and i kept nudging jingmin whenever PA mentioned abt gays and she totally rolled her eyes
MUAHAHAHAHA!

*roll eyes*

i miss my office, so i'm going back on thurs to eat lunch!
that's by right. if k goes, i confirm will go, if he doesnt, i'll consider~
OMG I MISS THOSE PPL~
and did i mention that after i left, i got closer to some of the peeps that i barely talked to while i was still working there? it's weird man, how such friendships come about.
since i left, i chat quite a bit with the admin girl, she looks very guai, but her whole body has quite a few random tattoos + lotsa piercings. super tak match her personality + aura (where in the world did i get this word from?). and then, i chat everyday with the office butch. these 2 super bo link right? i not sure how. and i've no intention of sharing w them the gospel, yet. i guess i just wana be their friend =)

p/s: while reminising my last perth trip, suddenly sth hit me REAL HARD....
the last time i went perth.......
I GAIN TWO KGs RIGHT?
I GAINED AWHOLE LOT OF WEIGHT
AND I CAME BACK LOOKING LIKE A PUFFER FISH
OMG!

OMG~ GOD PLEASE FORGIVE FOR I HAVE SINNED~
I AM HAVING SINFUL THOUGHTS OVER THOSE BREAD WHICH I WILL CONSUME
I WILL STUFF MYSELF WITH YOUR BODY
ok~ enough~ i'm totally blaspheming now~
byes~

2010-02-20T01:45:00.003+08:00

ahh! my sleep time is so screwed up, my brain is dying on me
let me blog my cny b4 i forget!

mon - psycho-ed parents to take a drive to msia so i can have the house to myself. ended up feeling pretty bored and met rena at bugis to walk walk + hang out! ate tonnes la! so so so full~~~
tues - i was super gone and though supposed to met rena for late night, i ps-ed her and stone at home the whole day (old liao la, body cannot take it sia) =X
wed - had STEAMBOAT (my 1st steamboat for cny, been craving for steamboat since cny started lor) with titus peien & friends! nice nice nice! while they fellowship, i was busy gobbling down the food and someone commented i was very focused on the steamboat... well~~ i think i ate more than the guys.. bad bad bads
thurs - we've OPM! so i invited jingmin for dinner at me place and we went down tgr. first time ppl eat my mama's cooking ar... haha or at least since a v long time... seldom invite ppl to me place =X
fri (today)- SUPPOSED TO HAVE BLACKJACK SESSION AT SUMI'S PLACE but she LAST MIN cancel it. dots lor~ K is supposed to come meet me den go tony's plc tgr since he needs to collect his watch in town. and he was already on his way to meet me when sumi sms us that it's cancelled. super looking forward to it lor.. super on the verge of strangling her. K came to me place to bai nian + hang out a while.. and can tell from my mama face, she got a bit tio shock, cos first time i bring guy friend home *roll eyes* he then head home, while i went to meet jingmin + friend at town. walk walk and had quite a bit of fun =)

2010-02-15T13:41:00.010+08:00

wow, just woke up and feeling super gone with a slight headache.. the late nites are not good (for my aging body)~ hurhur
yday was fun! went to my aunt's plc for dinner at 5ish (totally boring~ not fun) i just stood there like a statue and nobody talked to me and me also no talk to them... *yawns* went home w my parents, prac piano half hr and went to meet the boys for coffee before going to tony's plc for gambling session. reached there at 10pm, already started playing black jack with moola on the table! eh i didnt gamble, but cos i look so bored, gary was super duper nice, to stand behind me and put money, ask me help him play, of cos with his supervision and he makes the decisions on how to play it.. haha apparently my luck (or his luck) is not v good... K estimated that gary probably lost at least 200. fierce~ i cant imagine me losing so much, super shiong lor~ i cant remem if jingmin won/lost, but i know the margin is like 20-30 bucks.. J won 30. K won 100. which is apparently fabulous. both of them got pretty good cards la... so just sat there, be gary's asst and stone till 5am O_O
sent jingmin & caleb home, went for mac breakfast with the boys, sent them home, and i reached home at 7am
OMG break record already... and when i reached home, parents are ready to set off for msia! i psycho-ed them to take a 1-day road trip (strongly encouraged them to stay a night) to msia, so that can have the whole house to myself. decided that after 2 shiong nights, i really need some fabulous recovery time =X

and sth horrendous happened while having coffee with the boys.. somehow, someway, at one moment in time, K said "grace~ u have coffee on ur shirt" and i'm like OMG!!! and i was wearin white tee and it was super obvious, not just 1 drop but quite a few drops and i cant cover it with my hair and started to get all upset... he was suggesting to go washroom to wash the tee (v not glam to wash my tee in washroom lor zzz) to lighten to coffee stains etc.. but there'll still be stains on the tee! i was telling him i totally not absorbing his suggestions because in my mind, i'm scanning through the shops in JP and where is the highest chance i may get a tee that i like + not ex (plus its chu yi zzzz)
jimmy said cotton on is opened and i'm like "YES! ok, u 2 wait for me here, and i'll chiong to cotton on and buy my top NOW!" both of them super roll eyes at me, thinking it's ridiculous to buy a top just because i dirtied mine... though i dun dress up fabulously, but i make sure my clothes are clean!!! eeks! and though they insisted nobody cares abt the stains, I DO! if i cant even wear clean clothes, how to feel fabulous?
K made a fabulous comment "anyway the shop is closed by now" (me looked at my hp immediately) its 9.30pm... dots! i feel sooo helpless~ den i so boldly asked if i can borrow jimmy's tee so that i don't have to go through the ginormous hassle of buying a top (plus spending moola on sth which i may not REALLY like). they're agreeable, so i wore jimmy's top that night. err i duno, dun like wearing ppl's clothes (so not fitting) plus it's a guy's.. eeks!
jimmy's supposed to bring a tee for me, but insisted that i go up to choose. i once saw a pic of him in a SUPER DUPER tight tee (that looks like it's about to burst if he just flex his muscles) and i already know what i wanted...

went up to his plc to choose the top (he was pushing me to wear this jersey that's small AND SLEEVELESS zzzz) and saw his uncle and auntie (ahh u noe me, i dun like seeing relatives...) and his auntie gave me ang bao (so paisey) and saw me wearing his tee outa the house (bad bad bad, imagine all the brownie points i lost)
den on the way down in the lift
me: i've never seen ur parents before..
J: what you talking? my parents say they met u before wat!
HAR? HOW COME I MET UR PARENTS BEFORE AND I DUNO?
me: the last time i came, its ur auntie and uncle that was at home wat
J: that's my mum la...
me: WHAT?! the last time i came to ur plc, keith called her auntie so i thot she's your auntie!
and he bursted out laughin like mad (and its so not funny to me lor) and said he gotta tell K that i thot their mama is their auntie and k said "are u trying to say my dad slps with my auntie?! grace! u r disgusting!" err no? i thot they're like ur relatives? uncle, auntie? and J said they call their parents "uncle" and "auntie" like what in the world~ this is v bads~ v v bads~
negative brownie points liao~

p/s: we studied the pattern of the coffee stains and came to a conclusion that the coffee was from jimmy's cup! must be tio when he was playing with his straw! dodo

2010-02-14T11:55:00.007+08:00

happy valentine's day!
had a fabulous night! hurhur
met the boys for coffee, then head to chinatown and reached just before midnight. they brought me to a nice spot to see fireworks and surprisingly, not crowded... sweet~ so are we counting down to cny or vday? =X
(err its cny, in case u're wondering.. duh~)

stone awhile to wait for the crowd at temple/pagoda st to clear then we went to chiong! man, crowded, crowded, crowded.. haha but at about 1, the crowd started to clear and it was a more comfortable walk but crowded, still. and for some parts of the walk, the boys MADE ME WALK IN FRONT TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR THEM! like wat in the world, aren't they supposed to be opening up the path for me to walk and protect me? it's more like me protecting them lor~ ridiculous man... and when i call them my sisters, still wana roll eyes at me~ *roll eyes* keith's logic is, i'm walking just behind you wat.. err is protect behind not in front meh? haha then we went for supper at 3 and i (not we....) reached home at 530!

omg, i feel so old... i chiong 1 night and i already feel so gone~ when we parted, K said "cya later!" (i have another late nite with the x-coll tonite) and J said "WHAT? she's going with us to ah ma house?" err does he even use his brain to think.. what in the world is he asking... k just gave him the crazy look zzz

last min aunt invited my family to eat dinner at her plc.. omg, i thot can escape my relatives this yr.... well, shall see if i'm perked up enough to talk nonsense with them (cousins & me cannot link 1 leh..) oh~ just last week, in view of cny, i was trying to recall my cousins' names.. and there's 1, i forgot her name.. this is bad~ and i duno how my cousins' kids look like O_O
OMG WILL THEY ASK ME IF I HAVE A BF?! OMG OMG OMG
come to think of it, can i pontang? haha

round 2 tonight! i think this yr's cny is my most exciting, ironically it's the yr i'm not supposed to cele cny, but then again, i'm not cheena enough to care! haha

p/s: K whipped up some of the dishes for his reunion dinner (J's bf asked if i ate reunion dinner w them.. omg these 2 soo alike, ask such lame qns.. but then he not chinese, so i dun blame him.. haha) and he brought some pork balls for me to try, which i'm surprised cos last week when i was asking him if i get to try the pork balls, his response not v positive. so i didnt hunt him further. but he did~ sweet~ hurhur

sam made chocs at sch & she brought some for us! nice~~

the heart-shaped earphones that mich gave me~ mine special 1 ok, got bling bling~ hurhur i finally opened it =)

the pork ball (ok, patty... after eating these 2 lumps of pork, i'm super full)

2010-02-13T14:52:00.002+08:00

2010-02-06T22:58:00.002+08:00

sumi, me, keith

since k & i are not working, we met up earlier for tea and chat a bit~
it's nice chatting with him~ i can practically be his secretary *_*
oh~ b4 we left, we went for an appt tgr. and during the appt he was pitching that he sold this & that to his client and blah blah blah and in my mind i'm like "wow, u actually sold this before?" and after the appt, when we're waiting for cab
me: eh i didnt know u sell ____ before
keith: i lied~
WAT IN THE WORLD... can u believe it, i'm the one selling the same product as him, and when he lie, even i believed him, whats more the client.
I FELT SOOO CHEATED
OMG!
and then he was sharing with me abt his job interview and he said he kinda lied throughout the whole interview... and i asked "like wat..."
and he shared with me 1 qns + his ans (he used my client as his example, stupid)
TOTAL TOTAL LIE~
OMG LOR~
and u know what the worst thing is?
HE DONT EVEN KNOW WHICH INDUSTRY MY CLIENT IS IN AND DOING WHAT
OMG!
i can never cook up such fake stories, after hearing all his lies, i'm very certain i'm not cut out for sales
how to fight with ppl like him zzzzz

anyway, last nite after reaching home at 12-ish (sat at mac with the bros for supper till last bus home *hehe*), i talked to sumi on the phone till 330am and almost want my life... (and it's the first time we had a personal phone conversation)
shared with her alot about my personal views abt work and suggested to her what she shld do at work etc. think she heard a whole lot from me, which she never did while i was working there.
just being professional~
and i heard she cried during lunch on one of the days cos she missed k & me...

(and no, it's not a date date)
on a side note... OMG! come to think of it, i know him for like 9 years already! eeks!

meet up with suat was fabulous!
i really appreciate her cause we may not catch up or talk often, but i know if there's someone i NEED to talk to, she's just a phone call/ sms away and this theory has been tested and proven in 2009. =) and of cause she's someone whom i know, can give me opinion from a perspective and beliefs similar to mine.. and like duh, she's not dumb like some ppl i know~
and yes, she was saying "OMG! we know each other since we're 17! and we're getting old"
and that didn't feel good~ zzzzzz
*at least we still look the same (aka young)*

had steamboat with the office gang on wed! cc (my beloved x-mgr), sumi (aka mate), mich, keith, jingmin, caleb.. and it was fun!
alot of gossips flying here and there... and me being not interested in gossips, just sit there and stone. and no, i don't participate even though i do have my reservations on some of the ppl mentioned. it's just not nice? i don't want ppl to say stuff about me though i know they still do no matter what *roll eyes*
i'm just typing nonsense... this is bad.. totally going nowhere.. haha

eeks! i'm late to meet sab & she's gonna kill me~

2010-01-23T13:42:00.002+08:00

it's the last day, more of like the last 2 mins of 2009!
tomorrow is a brand new beginning =)

summary of 2009:

jan: 3rd mth into my job and was considering to leave for better career prospects before confirmation. finished my first book: chang & eng (like so not surprising haha, it's a classic!)

feb: felt really demoralised at work~ started gym-ing with my xmgr =)

mar: my first career fair. it was fun! was gym-ing yet gaining weight O_O chiong the twilight series books! all 4 of them!

apr: japan trip! and my fabulous agnes b bag which i was really scared to buy cos it's quite si wen and expensive. but no regrets! (in fact, it's almost a year and time for a new bag! hurhur). convo

may: illegal bbq at sentosa with cheryl + zx & gang. it was fabulous!

jun: my x-mgr tendered her resignation. it was shocking and i decided to leave shortly after her as it's pointless to work under another mgr (which we eventually know i didn't)

jul: having fun time disturbing k (and he hates it)

aug: it's a really tough mth~

sep: started swimming! got some big accounts and am starting to see the fruits =) watched boys over flowers to get into the mood for korea~

oct: work is fabulous~ fell really sick, but i managed to lose weight AND MAINTAIN =)

nov: busy mth! korea trip! grandma passed away...

dec: slacking mth! AWS! woohoo! chiong lost season 5 in 3 days. finished reading outliers. been going out w k&j quite a fair bit this mth hurhur

thank you for ppl who've been there to support me~
Rena, Tabitha, Peien = my email kakis definitely do play a BIG part.. imagine all the hours emailing each other, almost everyday at work *phew*
Jacq, Jingmin, Kaism = listening to me and supporting each other
Ry, Genevieve, Sabrina = my outing kakis... at least we don't meet up so often, or else sure gain tonnes of weight =p
Wei, Cheryl, Suat = we seldom talk, but we do have heartfelt conversations when necessary
Samantha = for persistently disturbing me =p

this year has definitely been a v bad year for me. i thought 2008 was bad but 2009 is worse. much more in fact. but well, thank God for His strength and grace. i wouldn't have survived it alone.
i really really appreciate rena & suat who're really there for me when it was really tough. u're just a sms away and i know i can depend on u. thank you =)

i can't believe i'm tendering in 4 days. I MUST DO IT

2009-12-25T14:22:00.002+08:00

man, i'm dead beat~
despite feeling so tired, only managed to slp 8hrs.. barely enough to make up for my lost beauty slp..

yday was a tough day man...
had to pack my table cos i tio fired and it was really emotional... seeing the office for the last time... the desk which i've sat for almost 14months... imagining how things will never be the same...
ok, the tio sack part was fake but the packing part is real cos we're shifting office (to 7 storeys up, so lame)
having had long nites before, i was super gone and really distracted for xmas svc while driving outa the carpark. car was moving quite fast and was at the barrier to deduct carpark charges and i was abt to step on the brake and being sooo gone, i stepped on the accelerator instead and i went through the barrier, machiam action movie style.. my heart was beating so fast and seeing the scratch on the windscreen made me feel really scared..
anyway, long story short, the "scratch" is actually paint from the barrier, so no scratches or cracks on the windscreen. thank God for that.. hopefully there's nth wrong with the barrier =X

svc was great! i enjoyed the drama and the sight+sound of thousands of ppl singing the xmas carol (p&w) tgr in a v packed JW audi is really quite touching... the feeling is so different than any professional choir singing...

and then i went to watch sherlock holmes! it was kinda a triple date! its quite cute? haha sumi + bf, j + partner, k + me.. ok, the other 2 are couples, so only k and i are not a couple.. but technically is still 3 couples.. O_O since i had such a shiong day, i wasnt really watching the movie, but i got a feeling its fabulous =X robert downey jr is sooo shuai~~~ *drool*
and it's supper and home!

*tired*

dad said most prob will go london... i'm soo looking forward to confirmation! he should know by next week, and i shld tender in less than 2 weeks!
yipee!
nx yr is indeed a year of many changes for me.. a year to leave my first job, to enrol into bible sch, to further my studies, to embark on my career...
