Casio ex-P700. retired

ok. this post shall be dedicated to my Casio ex-P700 whom we all do respect.

this babe is one hot chic. as in seriously. in my sad times, it stood by me. in my happy times, it made it even brighter.
the time when i had chicken pox.. nothing interest me, expect taking out my cam to snap shots of sceneries.. and my wounds.

mission trip. a big big hard work to her. she's been day and nite charging.. morning off for work.. till night. then got charged and served me well again. shots were great. the sceneriers were almost breath-taking. with this, u got scratches and scars were left. ur LCD cracked causing a little dent in my heart. sent u for repair.. and u came back in 13 days. juz in time for carolling. 13 days were pure silence in my life.

chij sec sch. much memoraries. thank u so much. the happy faces, tough girls, friendly teachers, wacky classmates were all in. from discipline dialogue to grad nite. u've done me proud. so so so proud.

nationals rugby. the anxiety were all captured. so much that words can't describe the victory over a teeth gnashing battle.

bowling. the shots. beautiful pace were all captured. how the kcbt trained.

my instruments. u made my guitars happy. its like the most chio spots are being captured on screen. magnified, and being put as wall papers. how proud would u feel?

camps. church. man. the old days. a gd recap of how ppl grew up. the fun. the sceneres..

lightning. boy. i think u got irritated my me.. feeling stupid seeing the same old pitch black stuff. ahha. after like 50 shots.. then u could take a break. until the like 60 smth shots.. then 1 was nice.


video. ahha. pro la u. the sound. esp the church dances. how we learn from it. and also.. when i'm at home.. u recognise my mistakes and tell me in detail, not afraid nor ashamed.


e last of the many points.. friends.
the moments. the sheer silence. the smiles. the doodles. the memories. esp those who migrated. the notes that i write to my closest closest friend, the memoraries u've allowed me to keep within. thank u.












i love u sooo much.u're departure is like sudden lar. OG26 photos are along with it. no one could ever replace u. i'll not get a camera, unless its u. the same u. only a piece of ur power is left, on my table.


u've inspired many. i'm sure of it. i think i've inspired shuhua, sara(?! haha), gland, stephy, abby, andrew, jovin, eveleen.
these ppl, i've noticed..either got new camera, or been like carrying camera whenever, wherevre. i might be wrong.. but it shows that u guys are starting to appreciate the art of stillness.


no more camera.

this is my choice. though it may seem wrong, but i've chose to be hard abt it. thus, no more pics. sry. no more emmotions captured on results day. haha.


sheer quietness from now till after JC (when i get the $$). come to think of it.. grrr... sajc - no pics. haha. well. well. well.

God's plans nv fails to prosper right. btw.. i didn't make it into the Life concert. when i heard abt it. i was having mixed feelings. happy and sad. but yea. thank God for such a wonderful experience.

if u ask me, am i sad, regarding my dearest being departed, DUH. i would really say.."stupid question lar". its becoming my 3rd most powerful equipment. 1st (drum roll..)- thy WORD. 2nd- handphone. haha. 3rd- casio ex p700.

i do miss u, though its been 3 days. sometimes, i still think u are beside me, reaching into my bag in search of u. sometimes, i still say "whoa.. this shot super nice, must take"


oh well. ahha. thank u for the memories. thank u for the times u've been entertaining. thank u for the times u've sweetened me up.
thank u for ur serive.
thank u for ur humble serivce.
thank u for ur passionate service.
thank u for ur loyal self.

u'll always still be remembered- in my photographic memorary.
oh ya. ahha. abit slow but.. wad a way to start a new yr of 2006, being 'forced' to abolish one of my resolutions. cool huh.

healing -


Artist: Hillsong United
Album: Look To You
Track: Till I See You


The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are a voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name

part of the nite.

Auditions. OG28.

another day of making new friends. ahha. man. its gonna take me forever to rmbr all their names.

sch was ok. bio was interesting. but got abit dry.. and was fighting the dozin battle. chinese was hilarious lar. the tchr is like v practical minded, v focused in hitting his aims. hope that i can do well in chinese this year.

then in this class rm.. saw 2 tables being vandalised by pencil. new tables can. super really pui to see vandilism in mission sch. somemore new campus.. heart not pain meh...




after sch. went to church to play guit and slp for awhile b4 w auditions..

5.20pm was the auditions. its for Sa Life Concert. its like an evengelistic outreach.. to sas, sajs, sajc. so yar.
basically.. i feel that i'm techinally not up to standard fo such a big event. i'm excitied if i'm like in... but.. its the technical barrier.
so.. as 5.20 approaches.. glen and i were starting to get a little nervous.. stading in the midst of so many talented gifts. got to know nigel's band electric guitarist. joshua. he has a mark tremoti guit. whoots. and he's pro.
it was a the diosece centre. there was the technical rehearsal.. and the spiritual interview part. the drummers were pro. they had to play infrotn of ppl.. so does the electric guitarist.. the acoustic ppl played outside.. one on one. there's this female drummer.. super pro. infact... the drummers were all all pro pro pro. really whoa to see such young musicians.. inspiring me to go do smth abt the music life in singapore. ahhaa.

okok.
so it was my turn.
first song- My Reedemer Lives. i've learnt a cool and funky and super nice way to play it. kinda difficult in changing the chords.. to no confidence.. so ended up playing normally. haha. then played slow song- Magnificent.. pluck then strum. then i was like.. whoa. pluck.. my thing. but i wasn't in a right state to do so.. explain later.. so i had alot of minor mistakes.
so the 3rd song. .He is Exalted. haha. "play in 6 8 time.." haha. so i was like.. huh? then he clapped the rhythm out.. i tried.. got it.. but accidentally moved to 3 4 time.. didn't know after he told me. so i felt that really, wasn't musically inclined after all. abit disappointed with myself.. (i'll explain later).. but yea. i was happy that at least i tried. (:

after that. spiritual interview. thank God i could be myself.. coz the interviewers were not like v strict or tchr-ish kind.. so ya. thank God that i was able to share what i've learnt from qt and also zheng.

the level was there. really admire shirley for setting that tone and standard. and the way that they manage to handle the ppl who went for auditions were fantastic. happy ppl. happy service. happy love. all from God. cool eh. love my God.

okok. comes to serious part.


why do i want to join life concert?
basically. delima. totally dun know. but i felt God prompted. like go serve. but i felt like Jonah.. trying to escape.. coz really.. its the technical barriers that i'm afraid of. then God assured me. rmbr one ofmy Qt. i read abt taking a bigger leap in service to God.. so i was like.. isn't that Life Concert for now, that enables be to do such? ahaha. but still ... the barrier.
after much encouragement from some of the SFC ppl.. i decided to juz sign up for it.
juz go.. and whack only.. see where God takes me lor. coz seriously, i'm sure that if i'm not ready, God has His plans for me in the LF thing.
during auditions.... i was focusing so much on my technical flaws. so much so tt playing the guit became a technical thing. and the worse of it is that i wasn't even aware during that state of time only after the audition ended. therefore.. when it comes to Magnificent... i wasn't playing for God. felt that the music i played was dry, and really no feel. as for the song He is exalted. it was really e lack of practice. nv played tt song for any events b4.. so not relly gd with it.

hmmm.. so .. after all that.. do i want to get in?
haha. after the auditions, i've actually learnt a handful of stuff. ur central must be like God. forever. i mean all these is like basic one lar.. but its so easily distracted. tsk tsk. must work more on that.
yes, i do want to get in, after reciving so much lessons from God through this short auditions. i do want to make a difference. technal part? heck. coz thank God that all the auditions are like on mon, tue and thurs, i;m free on all days! haha. so it might be another sign from God. haha. technical part sure can work on it.

anwyays... all the best for the saturday lot. pray that God will use His children mightly. pray that alll the crew, especially the musicians, as representators of the college will start the day right, and also have a true heart of worship. pray tt all will reflect jesus in their attitude, dressing, response and behaviour and all.


-

after that. had OG dinner at holland V. really far away. but that God for my forgiving OG members.. coz many of us were extreemly late. had a good time of fellowship. 23 ppl turned up! (: thank God for this lovely bunch of ppl. really love them alot. our lovely OGLs also came despite being J2s. haha. yay. and when we collected the $$.. it was like exact! God blessed huh.


went home. tired.



okok...

pray for nxt wk. hectic mon and tue, ending v late.. both days pe too.. wed.. cross country plus trng.. pray for strength.
pray for JC2s.. see some of them alreayd stresss..
pray for life concert. that ppl wil have the heart of worship an donly glorifyin God.
pray for the sas ruggers.. who's in malaysia now. protect them and bond them in Chirst.
pray for the college students. that will have responsiblity to tc of new facilities.
pray for tchrs. to be better equipped to engage.
pray for SFC. ppl will continue to grow strong in Christ, and esp for JC2,havin to plan such big event.

School History

Perhaps the beginning of St. Andrew's School could be traced back to the 1850s when a private institution was set up in Chin Chew Street by two Anglicans - Mr Sim Quee and Mr Tye Kim. As a result of the sermon on Whitsunday 1856 by Rev Humphreys, a group of laymen formed themselves into a committee for the spreading of the Gospel in the then 37-year old Singapore.

One of the steps taken was to seek a missionary and this resulted in the arrival of the Rev Edward Sherman Venn in 1861. The private institution of Chin Chew Street had no connection with the Anglican Church at that time - this was only brought about on 8 September 1862 when it was adopted by the Anglican Church because of the work and influence of Venn. Thus St. Andrew's School was founded on 8 September 1862 by Venn.

One year later, on 10 September 1863, the School moved to Upper Hokkien Street because of the need for a better building and more space for the growing School. Soon after, Mr Cheok Loy Fatt was appointed the Headmaster and he proved to be the excellent choice.

For some years, the mission had serious financial difficulties, resulting in their withdrawing its financial support for the School in 1866. The School suffered an even greater loss with the passing away of her Founder and friend. In spite of these losses, Loy Fatt carried on managing the School by himself.


In 1872, the Colonial Chaplain Canon J.A. Beccles successfully applied to the Government for financial aid. Thus, on 22 May 1872, St. Andrew's School became a grant-in-aid institution.

In the same year, Canon Beccles was succeeded by the Rev George Frederick Hose as Colonial Chaplain. Meanwhile, the growing School shifted to Victoria Street. Hose did a great deal for the School. One of his first acts was to invite the Rev William Henry Gomes from Borneo to act as School Superintendent. Under the wise and capable guidance of Gomes from 1872 to 1902, the School prospered and grew.

This Is My Enevelope
by Poon Marian




Distance doesn't seem to matter,
and might seem to be better.
But no matter how near or how far,
it leaves behind this scar.

million things are running through my mind,
billion things i will never let you find.
thrillion things you never want to know,
zillion things will make this weather cold.

the pits sink deeper,
whom shall be their keepers?
apparently, water always flows,
but no, it doesn't even seem to go.

like poles repal, unlike poles attract.
mirror reflects, water refracts.
scientifc laws seems to oppose my feelings,
what flame shall see to my killing?

i am going to go on about this,
because, seriously, i may get pissed.
but look, negative negative becomes positive..
hellos... it makes me sensitive.

this dumpish poem is dedicated to you.
i'm sorry if i'm being blue.
it is neither to hurt nor bring you down,
its juz that i dun want to see you frown.

i'm kinda amazed by how my vocab rhymes,
because seriously, i dun do it this well all the time.
perhaps its coz the melacholy i'm feeling right now,
which may make me seem unsound.

we have to tahan and hold on right now.
its gonna be tough, but dun ask me how.
i'm not gonna ever back track.
i'm not ever gonna slack.

we have to keep on gg further in our friendship,
we have to deepen this darn right close relationship
somethings we may have to put on hold,
but hey, i would nv want u to be sold.

trust me, we'll see it through together,
and we cannot base it on any 'whether'.
i believe we can hold on,
juz pls try not to mourn.

happy happy happy.
okok.. that sounds crappy.
but seriously, that's what i want you to be,
i'll trust u nv to forsake me.

i hope u are reading this.
haha, print it out so that you will nv miss.
ahhaa. sorry for the bhb-ness,
i'm juz being too proud about my crappyness.

okk. i shall end here.
writing all this can really make me tear.
no lie u'll ever goona find,
even though u search in between these lines.

all this comes from my heart,
yes, i know, it may suck.
but thank u for reading till here,
i hope that it will take away any fear.

thank you for being my super duper close friend,
well, dont ever let this end.
i'll be behind you all the way,
never will i leave you at any step of the way.

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical
structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self
rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

In plain English what does this translate to?

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!

many many things gg on today.

Ms Devi passed away peacefully on the 8/1/06
she's my sch counsellor. she was the one i turned to when i was like total crap last yr.. though i was super irritated with how she taught me lit, i'm thankful for her as a counsellour. she stopped teaching and went into conselling. iniatially, i was like... crap.. the counsellour is the tchr tt i didn't like.. and as the sessions went by. really appreciate her alot.
coz as a counsellour, she has to report to the principle abt e pupils condition and welfare. so its like.. she made mine private lar. she kept wadeva probs i have with her.. and submitted a file to the vp sayin "learning how to cope with 9 subjects" so ya. basically... there was more to it.
she passed away. ok. i juz got the msg like 5mins ago. so like.. still abit hard to identify my reaction. coz really.. today is really tiring.



The Long lost. The missed. The cross.

Um hi miriam,

if you are reading this right now, then you should be really shocked to see my name, but if you did not read this and have already dumped it in the 'dustbin', it's okay.

Up till today, I can't really remember why I was so mad at you. Was it something like you not being my best friend or something like that. Anyway, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I was really immature then, flaring up like that, saying that i'll never be your friend again, throwing it into the dustbin. It was just plain stupidity, it was dumb. I'm sorry if i hurt you.

When i saw you pick that piece of paper from the dustbin, i should have realised that you were truly my best friend. I was really touched that you came all the way to my house to send me a present for my thirteenth birthday, and the book "happy birthday ___' :) It was such a blur, seeing you again and i did not have time to react ad then you left. I've been regretting it.

The psle left me in a friendless school, pasir ris and it also took away my confidence and self-esteem. But i'm really glad that it did so 'cause it forced me to look upwards. I have only one best friend and that is Jesus Christ, and I hope that you know him too. In sec school, i was too ashamed to talk to our classmates anymore, so i had no contact with them, neither did i have any way to contact you. You see, i lost your phone no and did not know exactly where you stayed.

I got your e-mail add from andrea who got it from who knows where, she's in tjc too. For 4 years i have been praying to see you again, to tell you that i'm sorry. You can of course choose not to forgive me. All the stuff i'm saying is all rather mushy, but it's what i need to say. To tell you the truth, i've cried over my actions. The last 4 years have been tough, i'm still holding on to fond memories of the past. You, Ai ping, Jasmine... I've not had good friends in pasir ris, nor best friends.

I'm no longer running, ny ego crushed, and i've changed. All credit goes to God, for who i was, am and going to be. Actually, this entire email can be sumarised into two words, I'm sorry.

I do hope to know how you are doing, and of course to be friends again, best friends even. I'm still staying where i was four years ago, after you came, i was hoping to see you again to apologise, but you never did come. My home no is -----, mobile no ------.

For your info, when Andrea saw me , she was shocked that i have long hair and am no longer a loudmouthed tomboy, but i;m not girly nonetheless, i'm just a 16 going on 17 girl. The only constant in life is change. i told her that all these years i did not remember her at all, she was rather sad, but at least she has a few best friends. As for me, Jesus is King!

Please reply. (even if you are still angry with me, i'll be fine with it) I could wish you joy and peace to last a whole life long, but i wish you Jesus more than anything.

Your very bad friend :)
____




ok. so ya. i've been missing her. she's my pri sch best friend. basically.. the prob is that she feels that i didn't spend much time with her.. so she dislike me. ok. pls take note.. all these happend during 12 yrs. so its like. yar.. like that.
somehow.. she's rather v close to my heart lar.. and like cannot forget her. thought for gg to her house and seek her. but i fear rejection from her.
and with this email. it stunned me. plesantly surprised. jaw-dropped. and really. only by the grace of God.


today
my heart is really aching. but then, ok. but still lost. comtemplates. tangled. straighten yet crumpled.
its mixed lar.
things happen.
directions change.
adaption hurts.
painful dagger.
God is still there, sustaining. amazing.
if u can grasp what i'm toking about, which none of u would, i salute u.

tomorrow
the start of lecture. the proper life of a first 3 mnth student.
freaking out, thanks dear strength.


-----


okok. basically, pls pray for me.
abit trying to adapt, sorten things out and think. lots of things tt needs to be done are not yet done.
heart and mind is tangled. knotted. finding the string to let loose.
i'm sure i'll see it through. its a matter of time.

nevertheless. i thank God for today. mind, brain taxing. but. i've learnt alot, gaining new experiences day by day.

but pls do pray. thank u. really appreciate it.

Saintaldeia- Telleria. OG28.

OK. 4 days spent with these bunch of appeals-cum-dsa-ians. ppl.

Best in station games: Tellerria
Best in Mascot: Aruba
Best in skti: Ivanna
Best in cheers: Sequilla
Best in Identity: Nehoma
Overall best: TELLERIA *(with all the roarings in the bg)

haha. heard that Telleria is supposed to win in both skit and cheers as well. but because its better to distribute the prizes... so everybody had a chance to win. haha.

MEGA THRASEHD.

coz i think station gaems played a good 40% of it as well.. and our cheers, though not as enthu as the other tribes, were impressive, as quoted.

upon hearing, our tribe jumped, and started hugging each other and all. was amazing lar.
and the cheers went on and on and on and on and on. seriously. today is the day that i heard the most no. of cheers in my entire life. really really creative and innovative.


most of the time, we did the Hahka.. and the Milkshake one. Suhaimi was tribe General, and really did a gd job, along with the tribe warriors.

at night.. was like mega party. ok. so some of us were like err.. aha. the hall lights were offed. and had disco lights all around. haha. so yea. but we did have a great job. and OG28, amazingly, were together throughout. i really think we rock, though its not my forte to say such stuff.


ok. all in all.
OG 28. came from seperate ways, and now, dun wanna leave each other. aha. coz some not intending to stay on 1st 3 mths... some came to.. er.. crash in; aka. not official lar.. and really. haha. the sports ppl, really live up to its name. i'm still v amazed by my the talents God has given us lor.

after whole thing, our OG rushed to mac so tt we could have space. and we did. and had a great time together. love my OG. haha..

Orientation 1 is over.
nxt up. lectures. haha. so official studying begins.
subject combination: 1st choice is chem, bio, maths, (h1-econs).
so tt'll be for now. hmm. really contemplatign.. bio or physics?? physics more doors open. dun really need bio these days. even in Medicine, will learn the human atonamy again... and like a whole new thing. hmmmmm........

well. thank God for today. pray that the SAINTS spirit will nv die off, and shine each new day.



Up and on
Up and on.

The Scientist- Lyrics

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me, and come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy.
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start.

"opposite block, 12 floor". and told her to meet me and leon at mac at 6pm. apparently, she didn't turn up, expectedly, as usual. so leon and i went to search for her. so, using the info, by faith, we went to the opp block (there were many blocks opposite mac.). kping fingers croseed, went to 12th floor.
ok. so we were sort of judging the house lar. we ignored those houses those fanciful grills. ok. this is purely done by God's grace lar. then, after knocking on 3 doors and searchin, we wanted to give up. seriously. but told leon lar. since we're here, aiya, juz go and whack on all lar. haha.
so at the last house, outside, there's a few old umbrellas.. so its like.. okok.. high chance. knock on the door- no response. wanted to leave. but like the last house, then felt like should wait longer.. maybe old.. so take longer time to reach the door. 5mins. then the door opened...
it was a man. so we were like describing and all the old lady, he was like.. hmmm. maybe sure sure. in chinese. so i went into the house to peak in. whahahah! found her.
like strike 4D can. felt super darn happy. its like purely by God's grace and faith lar. pro not. hahha. but super shiok lar. so like we took 20mins from her house to walk to sav main entrance. until really cannot tahan.. so called aunty violet down with her vehicle to drive her up.

Endless Journey- Riverdance (Bill Whelan)

Endless Journey
Brian Kennedy, Tsidii Le Loka, The Riverdance Singers and The Amanzi Singers
Amazon, the Liffey and the shimmer and the ripple
And the Volga and the Fergus and the Tagus and the Nile
Uisce in the Shannon and the Chico Colorado
Waikato, Rio Grande and the ripple in the tide

The gully and a gushing and an ebbing and a flowing
Irrawaddy, Pilcomayo, Mississippi and the Lee
Trickly-oozing in the Lagan, Orinoco and Zambezi
Ubangi and the Congo and Mackenzie to the sea

A pooling and a pouring and a flooding and a flushing
From the Purus to Parana, from the Tigris to the Thames
Guadiana, Guadalquiver, Brahmaputra, Colorado
And the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee and the Seine

Surging and a-showering and a-spouting and a-spilling
In the Albany, the Oder and the Ural and the Ooze
Dordogne and the Danube and Dnieper and the Dodder
Paraguay and Tokachi and Shinano Vera Cruz

Amazon, the Liffey and the shimmer and the ripple
And the Volga and the Fergus and the Tagus and the Nile

The heart will find a home, the ship will find a harbor
A haven for the soul until the storms subside
Ah but when the warmer wind blows
And when the golden light glows
We face into the dawn and float out on the tide

Fire may burn and the sky may thunder
Heroes crumble and the sun may fall
As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you

Amazon, the Liffey and the shimmer and the ripple
And the Volga and the Fergus and the Tagus and the Nile
Uisce in the Shannon and the Chico Colorado

A pooling and a pouring and a flooding and a flushing
From the Purus to Parana, from the Tigris to the Thames
Guadiana, Guadalquiver, Brahmaputra, Colorado
And the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee and the Seine

Amazon, the Liffey and the shimmer and the ripple
And the Volga and the Fergus and the Tagus and the Nile

We sail into the sun, our hope is the horizon
And just as we've begun, it seems that we've arrived
Ah an everlasting journey
A hungering and yearning
Around the river runs and rushes through our lives

Fire may burn and the sky may thunder
Heroes crumble and the sun may fall
As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you

Fire may
burn and the
sky may
thunder
Heroes
crumble and the
sun may
fall

As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you

Fire may burn and the sky may thunder
Heroes crumble and the sun may fall
As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you

Christmas Day!

ok. another day has passed. Christmas has passed. all e preparation, all today.. done.

i thank God that i managed to finished all the gifts in time. piang. last night didn't slp at all can. had solomon to acc me online.. then jermone. haha. like take turns like that. bascially was panicking when i was like no where near ending when i saw the clock showing a 4.30am. and i was barely alive. haha.
thank God for sustaining through.


"Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
- colossians 3:23 -


i guess its gonna be stuck in my head, considering writing it 93 times.

haha. so at 7am, started packing up, and headed for church, braving the storm.
haha. okok. as u can see, i'm again high. wahhahahaa. okok. but it was fun, bio clock super screwed i guess.

service. super short sermon. abt e Christmas tree, aka. the Jesse tree.
then after service.. was like mass gift exchange. and so on....


ok.. famous lines upon reciving my gifts..

"Eeee.. where did u get this photo from??!!"
"Man.. how did do this?"
"Thank u, really like it alot."
"Eeee.. i look so ugly!!!"(quickly covers photo; forgeting that i have all the soft copy in my hands. muahahahhaha)
" Tell me leh, where u get my photo.."
"Ae.. this looks familiar.. hmmmm" (thinks...)

haha. so my ans is... dun forget, i'm a photographer, i have my sources.ahha. amazingly, i have all ppl's photo, except for evan. haha. i got a few of his side profile with his sis all over him at a far distance, so can't rally do much. haha.
well, it was fun giving out gifts, seeing ppl's reactions and expressions. ahaha.

today,saw e tan and ng family take family photo with uncle leong's cam. really envious. come to think of it, i think we only like took 1 or mayb 2 family photo in my whole life during christmas, or rather, i let 14 chances slipped away. anyways. GRRRRRRRRR. ROAR. meow. hhaha.

ok. this yr christmas, abit _____. canot find e word. was ALRIGHT lar. spent whole day with ulrica and eveleen, then dinner with the Ho family, aka, cousin, plus dear ulrica. haha. then watched day after tmr dvd at her house.
whole afternoon, slpt like dead log, not knowing if anything happens around me.


ok. but i'm happy today. :) u know why.


btw. one precation: pls IDENTIFY urself when u give presents, coz really, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, the mind is not strong enough to capture the giver. thank u. thank ye all ppl who gave me stuff for christmas. seriously, givin me a sheet of fool scap paper with loads of paper would make me amile already. ahhah.


somehow, i miss gg out with the girls like. big grp kind. lorraine, lydia n alll all all. its gonna be turft again nxt yr i guess. haiz. a few more days.



okok. i'm tired, i'm off.
Lastly, as a girl of sixteen, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

my master piece.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

ok. Christmas Eve is over. freak out. time is flying like mad.

okok. abit cranky. considering the amt of slp i had. tonite, one more nite. juz more more nite. hhahhaa. (play the music: Just one more night.. just one more nittteee..) hahaha. okok. shoosh.

i was super darn awake for watchnight service. praise God.
to summarise... 4pts from Pastor..
1) God is an uncreated God.
2) God is a sending God.
3) God is a persistant God.
4) God is a human God.

i like Pastor's sermons. they're really orgainsed. like u know when its gonna end, when he's gg on a nxt pt and all. an easy i-can-take-down-what-u've-said sermon. and his analogies are super fuunny lar. haha.

okok.
the service was at 11pm. eating through 12am. haha. there comes the msges and all. massive flood of infra red waves, killing millions of brain cells. sads.

anywyas. after service, ran for the last train, literally. with leon and his friend amos.they were heading for town. those 2 were mad. or should i say, are mad. they go around wishing ppl merry christmas. i had to keep my distance. had to.

anyways. thank God, i kope all the last trains! haha. thank God k. only by God's grace. super scary lar. like everywhere u go.. "the last train at platform A is approaching in 2 mins.. pls..." everywhere can. coz i came from potong pasir, NEL line. had to change to a train at douby ghaut.. then change another one at city hall.
ok.
train rides- horendous.


everyone was literally sandwiched. thank God for the train towards Bedok, it wasn't that crowded.
but there were vandals. spraying snow flakes all over the stations.
while on the way to bedok.. ppl, mostly mutts(is this how u spell?) kp saying merry christmas to everyone on the train, including me.
freak out. was alone can.
in little desperation, msged my friend. and yes, network jam. grrr. torment. haha. actually no lar. not that bad. basically, ppl were juz partyin on the train, spraying the can of ribbons and all lar. litter was everywhere.


so as i was wallking.
was thinking.. does all these ppl really know wad are they celebrating for? or issit juz another occasion to party wildy, nation-wide. really pity. felt like some holy moly person on the train, at my little corner in observation. seriously. they were high. like mrt for teenagers like that. really wanted to like shout out.. "its Jesus' birthday!! SALVATION SALVATION SALVATION". haha. if i do that, that's it man. siaow liao.
but seriously. its a neither-here-nor-there situation. needed, wanted, but juz could not.

okok.

anyways. on the way home, bedok was amazingly dark and quiet. perhaps the mutts, bengs and all are all at china black or town party, clubbin like mad. oh well, me, and my nice music gadget, jamed phone walked home peacefully giving time to spend with God w/o disctrations, besides the fear. thank God for that period of time. coz now.. muz chiong chiong chiong. 1/2 way more. cann give up. haha.


dear Lord, i commit this night unto u. let it be a worship to you yea. and btw, Happy Birthday! Love u always. :)

Saturday, December 24, 2005

music

well well.

i've really been spending time with bass and piano. trying to catch these 2, neglectin my electric abit. and feels so unknown to the electric.

back trackin..when i was around 3-4 yrs old. mama asked me to chhoose e dance / music route. (ballet/piano). happily, dance. and kinda feel that abit of wasted, and regretful. music is my passion. grrr. roar. imagine if i chose piano. would be like duno wad grade now lar. and a proper musician, who would have known theory.

that's one thing that frustrates me. theory. so so so lacking in it. yes, feel. but theory is super essential. feel like gg all e wat back to square one and take up grade one piano and slowly rise up like peter moey.

anyways. in my music journey, i've met, bascially to start with, 2 super talented ppl. one of which daniel lim, who opened doors to nigel's and my guit life.
and next, Joy. she inspires me so so so so much, with her fire for God, passion and knowledge for music realy brings hope to ppl like me.

she wants to really use music to make a difference in life. writing songs is her emmotional outlet, and really her soongs captures the soul.
well, u'll hear one of those in coffeeshop nite 2005. :P. 4-man band. pro.
trust me. nigel and i really can feel it during practices. she started off with piano and moved on and on and on... and i really duno wad else she plays now. juz like peter moey.

these few days with Joy, really, the emphasis of the grace of God is there. i've learnt so so much spiritually too. thank God for her. use us as instruments.
and also, really by God's grace that we're playing for her. nigel and i agrees that its not by coincidence that i'm playin bass, and he, the drums. joy's on guit and singing, with xyz on backup. so u see a switch of roles here. i'm excited.

debating to put which songs on my blog. I will Carry You, by clay aiken.. or You Give Me Life, by jason morant... okok
i will carry u. for all u bz ppl out there. :)



Artist: Clay Aiken
Song: I will carry you
Album: Measure Of A Man
[" Measure Of A Man " CD]

Yeah, I know it hurts
Yeah, I know you're scared
Walkin' down the road that leads
To Who-Knows-Where

Don't ya hang your head
Don't ya give up yet
When courage starts
To disappear
I will be right here

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
Turn around
When your dreams give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you're fallin' behind
I will carry you

Everybody cries
Everybody bleeds
No one ever
Said that life's
An easy thing
That's the beauty of it
When you lose your way
Close your eyes
'N' go to sleep
Wake up to
Another day

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
Turn around
When your dreams give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you're fallin' behind
I will carry you

You should know now
That you're not alone
Take my heart and we will find
You will find
Your way home

When your dreams
give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you've fallen
Behind
I will carry you
Carry you
I will carry you
Carry you
I will carry you
Carry you
I will carry you

Wednesday, December 14, 2005

actually...

haha. right.

i duno. i wanted to blog smth 'heavy' but.. i'm too high now. haha.

hmm. i'm still not well. basically, it got worse. coughing like still grasping for air... so i still need ur prayerss.. sorethroat seems to be getting horrible too. BUT, my tap is not leaking as bad liao! hahaha. the nose la. haha. anti-biotics rockcs.


i want to thank God for one thing today. this morning was super letargic, tired, seemingly overcomed and engulfed by the virus. haha. no drive to have any adrenaline to go church. juz so tired.. so msged rach that i can't go and finish e banner. then later.. i forgot who called.. to tell me there's band prac, and i'm needed.. haha.
but i still didn't hv strength.
then.. demi called... and asked if i'm church... i replied.."at home" ahha. so haha.
but i still didn't hv strength.
then eveleen called.. and asked where am i. ahha. at home. haha. then she was like.. mission dance prac was like over.. and the band prac is in 14 mins time. haha. right.

then i was like. wha. die die must go. and it cropped up to me that i must be in church today anyways, for the pp outreach rehearsal.

so, i guess i'd better listened to big papa up there lar. so much media reinforcement. i prayed for strength.
then happily, i put in my pedal, wear my shoes, and off to church. :)

i took the TAXI. $6.80/- grr.

and and and. i thank God for protecting me.
coz like.. on the road.. there's this medium sized rock that hit the windsccreen infront. big 'BAAAK' sound. freak out. then the windscreen cracked. ok.
the driver was like.. ok. haha.
it was directly infront of me lar. i was sitting behind, but it was in a position that if it were to penetrate throught, it would have hit me. so i was in a state of a little shock. but the windscreen did not shatter or anything. thank God.
thank God that it wasn't raining or anything.. coz i really dun want to imagine what would happen.


so safely, i reached church.



okok. serious note.


i've learnt, and hv been reminded alot by jere thong's words... coz he was sharing with us about giving ur best to God and all. it sounds cliche and all.. but seriously, the way he phrased it. nice.
then it came to a point where i start to esclate up my level of expectation. i q, we are all christians, and all of us are cleansed by the blood of Chirst, recieving salvation (i hope all.), why do ppl still feel so blech? so easily defeated.
and the question goes on and on and on and on till i, myself gets irritated.

anways. i juz hope that all the ppl in e world will give their best in wadeva they do. no point doing things half-heartedly, striving only minimun. come on lar, there's more to it.








James 1:2-6 (New International Version)
"2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind"

juz came back from teens and youth camp on fri and sat. the mos lax camp i've ever been to. really gd to unwind, listen to ppl and juz have pure fun.

and thank God, i was able to join these ppl.

coz morning, had like high fever.. 38.6 and all. so kinda worried that i couldn't go, but rmbred dennis telling nigel and i that the follow-up camp is really impt lar... coz must hear ppl fromm e RACE camp, as awell as share testimony.
so was struggling outta bed. prayed hard to be "i'm alive and well, ur spirit lives within me, because u died and rose again".
haha.
anways. figured out that it might be a spiritual attack. haha. obsrtuctin me from sharin. hmph. ahha. (btw, isst like a sin to keep sayin or rather, blaming barriers that obstruct u from sharring God's stuff, to the devil?)


anways, peter, gave me a dozen kind of medications, literally. it was like super cheap at $18, coz as a doc, he enjoys discounts. haha. and he gave me as my birthday present. haha. w/o consultation fees.
thank God from him. coz he's like my walking dictionary. i keep askin him bio q. ahah. and also, he's suepr gifted, talented in music lar. so he's also ike partially my shifu. so yea. thank God for him.

ytd, went home. the medicine, super strong, made me drowsy. then while on e way home with jas, saw gary. haha. i think he's shock to see me so letargic. seriously, was closin my eyes as i staggered home. thank God for jas that was beside me, if not, i would have collasped and be fast sound asleep on the ground.


anyways. on the 30th dec, our church havin this event called coffeeshop nite it'll be at 6.30pm. a time where ppl come together to celeberate christmas, esp for those who dun celebrate at their homes. a time of performances, music, and food! and admission, is FREE. so do come along if u are interested, let me know k.

and this coming sat is potong pasir outreach.
kinda stress with the guit, coz really not gd at playin carols and pulling them off nicely. and it'll be like a reachout thing, so, thus,
i URGE u fellow christian friends to pray for this event, coz really want thieir hearts to be opened lar. and pray for salvation. prayer is really impt. i duno how to reinforce this, but juz want to let u know that its gd to be safe now, than to regret later.

Northern Thailand Mission Trip 2005

missin thailand already.

will do a summary.


well, friendships were deepened, bonds were created.
went through thick and thin, which all have to endure, so as to watch and help sow the seeds planted in thailand.

a post wouldn't be enough to portray the 'thaliand disease', which is the urge to prolong ur living there.


haha. for me, the challange is to back off all negative thoughts. every action is accounted for. without the Word of truth, without the power of prayer, we will crumble, fall and definitely unable to perform our best. ahha.another little challenge would be the bathing facitlities. ahha. cold water. haha. kinda cool lar.. after u bathe.. ur would body will emit smoke. aahha.. and when u breathe, smoke comes out. ahha. my dearest bathing partners are lydia and amy. hahaha. so fun to hear new languages upon the cold water touchinn our skin. haha.

medical work was fun, for me. learnt alot on dispensing and identification on medicion. haha. learnt how to take bp! from dr. peter. and other stuff.
whole time, i felt smeely. haha. coz at hoho tribe, the water had a smell.. the food, bathing water and all had a smell.. but neertheless, we had fun.
the kids were so adorable. they smiled.

one thing different about sgsporeans and thais, thais are more open, humble, smiley. they smile at u upon reaching eye contact. its smth we all have to learn.
and when the team dances or do action songs, they do it with u. and its really encouaging.


on the whole, i was tired spiritually, and emmotionally. but, i thought tt thsi mission trip would be a tufter one.. coz of all the 'prep talks' ppl have been giving me. thanks to alll these ppl, my life there was not so a diffuicult one, but an enjoyable experience and a fruitful one.


thanks to all those in singapore who has been prayerfully praying for us. the spirit of God will never abondoned us.and for those 1st time trippers like me, avriel, georga and sheng ren, we all had a great experience.

( btw... those who wanted grad pics, its in my webshots. i did not post some of the pictures )
haha.
and also,...as for the mission trip photos, i'm goona compile lydia's, eveleen and my photos... and put them into a cd to pass around. i'll give mervyn a copy.. i think he wants to do smth abt it..
