yup, it's been ages since i blogged, so i think i shall just blog for the sake of all those who have been checking up with mi blog! really sorry ah, was busy with alot alot of stuff!
ya, uni life is hectic. have lab reports to do and lectures to catch up on and one test to study for.
oops i ran out of things to say. I think i'm losing my ability to blog! oh dear... well at least now pple cannot say i neva update!
ah! i thought of something! i'm shifting house soon, cuz mi house got en blocked (for those who dunno wat this means, it means that they wanna take a bulldozer and tear down my whole estate so that they can build one with units half the size of my house now and charge twice the price) :( i hope i dun have to move in the end anyway, cuz it's gonna be crazy trying to move all the wreck in mi house to that tiny house in geylang (that i dun really like cuz it looks rather sleezy)
hmmm ok maybe i should say how my life has been... the semester started in jan, and i was taking part in 3 sports representing hall, but i ended up not doing very much lah. actually i played a bit of floorball (like less than 10min) and ran the roadrace (which was a little more than 10min)! and i was a bench warmer for handball, but i dun think i wanna be on court representing hall after a ball (flying at what seemed like 200km/h) hit mi straight in the face when we were playing with the seniors. But i did go support a lot of sports, reminds mi of VJ life all over again, and i'm lovin it! :)
yeah and now is the 2nd half of the sem already, and sports season is over, but it's time for culture season, and i'm opening it by saying 3 lines in drama fest on the coming friday. It's just 3 lines, so i feel it's quite unnecessary to invite pple to come watch mi, though it'll be nice to get at least a flower for being on stage :) hahas
yikes so i've said quite a bit. I think i should learn how to be brief like some other pple when they blog :) hahas

new season of blessing
Well, lotsa stuff happened in the recent days, but Ireally wanna give glory to God for one particular event :)
As most of u who have come to know me in recent times, I was given this cross pendant at the end of year1 in VJ as a christmas present from my mom. Well, for those who don't noe, this is one special pendant, cuz it was to commemorate my coming back from my 1st mission trip (to Berkasi, Indonesia). During that trip I grew by leaps and bounds and so I asked mom to get mi a cross pendant so that I can be proud of my faith in a way that i never did before.
And true enough, as I honoured God by making this decision, indeed God honoured me back :) Truly, the J2 has got to be one of the best times of my life! Not only was God's blessing in all that I do, I felt a new sense of freedom and power. Even though I struggled many times during the year, I knew God helped me through it all and even blessed me with good results for the As and even a fantastic boyfriend :) And I even discovered a new talents in running and mentoring. But best of all was the spiritual high i had all year. Together with strong brothers and sisters in Christ, I was really stretched to the max spiritually, sharing lives Christian fellowships in S22 and council. In short, life was great :)
And just as i begin my new life in uni and start to forget how life was like being on a spiritual high, I suddenly lose that special necklace... And I looked frantically for it all over the place. It could have been anywhere since i put it in my handbag and brought it all over the place - in hall and then even to marina square to watch a movie. It could have dropped out ANYWHERE! Well, after searching in vain for a few days i was just gonna accept my fate that it was gone and i'd prob have to get a new one this christmas... But of course i was really upset... Afterall that pendant had been with mi for so long and everytime i looked at it, it reminded mi of God's blessing on my life. So I prayed, but i didn't really believe i'd find it cuz it was really impossible to find it if i'd really dropped it anywhere. So anyway, to cut the long story short, I found it. (so anti-climax) I wasn't even expecting to find it as i went up to the admin office to ask (and for that matter i was just passing by, so i decided to try lor), afterall, if someone found it they might have just kept it for themself or thrown it away right? But it was there! What a miracle! I was jumping around telling everyone! Anyway, just wanna give God all the glory :) For me, the re-possession of this pendant signifies the new season of blessing and the new level of spiritual high I wanna acheive this year and in the years to come in KR and NUS :)
On another note, by popular demand, i shall now talk about cute guys in NUS. Heh, of course got lah :P [Sorry ah darling, dun feel so threatened, u noe i'm not the type who'll go for just looks rite?! :)] Mostly seniors living in my hall. In my opinion, sadly, they're mostly outside my block... LQ, i bet if u came here u'll have plenty of eye candy :P But as for pple around sch, maybe i dunno them yet or wad, but i haven't met anyone whom really makes mi go 'wow' lah... but then again, as u noe, not that many pple make mi go 'wow' anyway :P

my 1st day at uni
Yay! today was the 1st official day at school! But actually i only had 2 lectures, so it was just 4 hours altogether! They were both chem lectures (chem's my major, so we have to take these allocated modules) One lecture was too easy and the other was too hard... Dunno wad's wrong with them... I hope tmr's lectures will be better :)
Nothing much to say about lectures, but life sure is great here! The last 2 weeks I've already been staying around in NUS, in Kent Ridge hall, my new home and family, at least while i'm away from home :) the last few weeks were the hols, so the whole campus was rather empty and peaceful, but this morning as i took the shuttle bus down to the science fac it was buzzing with life! And it was just a fantastic feeling just being in it all and busking in the energy! And i knew that i was in the right place, not somewhere overseas where it's supposedly better :)
Anyway, more about Kent ridge hall life :) KR hall like is supersupersuper fun lah! The last 2 weeks were filled with crazy activities and really fun seniors! The 1st week was orientation games, and after that we had to focus on rag and flag day. I was in the rag dance (btw, for those who dunno, rag day is when all the halls and faculties build a float like a chingay float out of recycled materials and present it to the public to thank them for their donations on flag day) so practice was like everyday for like 15plus hours lah! And in the end we didn't win... Some seniors say we'd feel that it was all worth it even if we didn't win, but i did't really feel that way leh... Not that winning was everything of course, afterall we did win last year, and it's reallyreally hard to win in 2 consecutive years, but seems like everyone was expecting so much and in the end we didn't seem to do justice to those who worked so tirelessly... Well, at least the frens that i made and the fun that we had laughing at the costumes made the time somewhat worth it lah... Nvm, we will win the war- next time! hees
Seem to be at a loss for words, I really have a lot on my mind, so many things running through every single day, but i guess it wouldn't be completely appropriate to put it in here... Or perhaps i'm just tired... Tmr got lecture at 8am, better go sleep!
Well for those frens who are in the same boat as mi or overseas (like layqueen) or serving the nation or doing watever, all the best!

slacking is fun :)
Well, actually i don't have much to write, just that some pple have pointed out the fact that i haven't updated for almost a month, so i think i shall just put some stuff in lah :)
Yup, slacking, that's what i've been doing for the past month :) so i've been doing random things, like goin for camps - kent ridge hall camp and church camp, workshops in church, giving tuition, learning driving. And on top of that I got myself up and playing ff12, thesims (both on psp and computer, cuz i jus bought sims life stories) and most recently, dota (yes, dota, don't tell me that girls aren't supposed to play dota).
A few highlights: kent ridge hall camp was terrific! u can really sense the bonding between the hostelites, and the way they all just seem to want to have fun :) can't wait to join them! I hope the application gets through! well, we'll only find out on fri..
Oh and darling Nicholas is goin skiing tmr! How fun is that!? no fair, i wanna be there too! I was actually contemplating running away there for awhile, but well, it's not exactly very feasible... so well, i should just stop being irrational. I really miss him, he's been away like almost half a year, and sometimes i know we both feel the strain of being so far apart... it's just a good thing that when he feels in that mood i'm not, so i can comfort him. and vice-versa as well. God provides :)
And going to Nicholas' house to tutor his brother like once or twice a week makes mi think of the times we spent together. But it's a good thing, cuz i need to get to know the family of the one i care for so i can care for them too right? :) [very sorry if this sounds a little erm.. mushy?! ya i realise nicholas talks quite alot about mi on his blog, so i think i should be a good girlfren and say something about what i feel too? :)]
Well, there were also the teaching sessions in church, starting with Peter Tsukahira's 2 day preaching on God's tsunami, there was also the english adult (church) camp with Dr Corne Bekker's preaching on the book of Malachi, and the Highlife (young adult) vacation school of discipleship. so it was a good dose of spiritual food :)
and driving's been pretty fun, just that i seem to be awfully slow, cuz i can't seem to turn left... I suppose i'll get the hang of it after awhile.. i hope it doesn't take too long cuz one 100-minute session is a terrible $58, so i dun really want to take too many lessons (of course extra lessons are invitable if i continue learning at this pace...).
ok that's about all.. i think i'm losing my ability to reflect... well anyways, all u out there take care, whereever u may be going (esp mi frens goin to study overseas) and esp u skiing boy! :)
ps. pls dun ask mi what's with all the smileys, in the past 24 hours, already 2 pple have asked mi why i have so many smileys all over the place... Why? pple happy cannot isit?! hahas :)

On my way
Yup, the map of my life has been drawn.. well, not totally lah, but more or less.. Yup, I got a call from MOE today to say that I got the scholarship! yay thank God! It really meant alot to mi. (I was dying of nervous breakdown the night b4 the interview, lucky mi momma had lots of comforting words for interviews :) In any case, it turned out really good, more like a chit chat session) At 1st I was a little hesitant about going for it, but after the psychometric test, and working in TKGS, I felt quite sure i should go for it. Well, for those who know me, honestly, if I don't become a teacher, what do u think i'll become?! Can't imagine right? :)
And a few weeks back NUS sent mi a package to welcome mi into their science faculty! And since i've been so busy, I haven't accepted it, so i shall accept it today :)
So as u can see, the next 8 yrs or so has been mapped out for mi already. On one hand, it's good, cuz there's security, but on the other hand, i can't get out of it even if it's a crappy life. And the great plan to move to melbourne will have to be postponed.
I've learnt a great deal of stuff about myself from being in a relationship.
1) I'm an awfully petty person. Maybe not. But at least I have certain expectations which sometimes dun go met. Yu Ching says it's ok cuz guys are like that so just ignore it. Atiqah on the other hand, says that if a guy doesn't meet all ur expectations, get a new one, cuz if he wun treat u well and go the extra mile to make u happy, he's not serious about u. Hmmm... who to believe? Well, I guess momma's advice is to be trusted. She says guys are not like girls, so u can't expect them to remember everything or to be extra sensitive (hmmm wat about those guys who at least rmb to msg their girlfrens at least once a day when they're free?). And u gotta communicate ur expectations to them or they dunno. Perhaps it'll be nice if he could say what he'll do (or not do) in the future so that at least u know he knew where he went wrong and is serious enough to change for u..
2) I hold grudges. Well, as a matter of fact, all girls do. So if he forgets to wish mi for mi interview on friday (and i reminded him like so many times!!) and then on monday forgets to msg mi all day, I am gonna get really pissed. (as a matter of fact that's wad happened, and that's why i'm pissed.) And when I'm pissed, I expect a proper apology. Well, ok, maybe that's unreasonable of mi, afterall he dun even noe he was supposed to do that. In any case, leaving mi alone is unlikely to work (unless there are other stuff to distract mi)
3) I am stupidly flickle. The same behavior on two different days can have different reactions on mi. For example. If on monday he doesn't msg mi and i happen to be in a bad mood cuz of crap that happens at home or sch, u can be sure i'll be so pissed i wun tok to him the whole of tuesday. But if on another day good stuff happens (like i dream a happy dream of him or i find out that i get the scholarship, which btw really happened), a whole day of ignoring from him is ok. (of course the grudges rule takes precedence. so since i was pissed off ydae, today i'll still be pissed even if i do have a nice dream and i found out that i got the scholarship. perhaps i was getting ready to forgive and forget, but by afternoon i had totally forgotten the dream, so the dream takes no more effect.) So the moral of the story for guys out there, is just msg ur girl everyday in case it's been a bad day. If it was a good day then good for u, u just made her day even better :)
well, there are others, but mi show's starting now, so i'll just leave u with these thoughts. :)

A day of inconsiderate behaviors
Ah, well, it's been awhile since i updated. And Layqueen wans mi to blog from tkgs.. but well, i can't cuz apparently the school doesn't allow relief teachers to have laptops :( in any case, i have decided to blog today cuz i'm terribly irritated by the recent spate of events that have happened just TODAY! yes, on most days i don't meet so much as one instance of inconsiderate behavior, but strangely, today i met a total of 5, yes, 5 instances of inconsiderate behavior!
Well, it started out as a pretty good morning, and i got onto the bus to go to work. And i was having a rather enjoyable journey when suddenly this guy got up on the bus and sat behind me. Ok, now i understand some people have long legs and it's terribly uncomfortable to be taking up just your space on the bus (given the really narrow leg space), BUT AT LEAST DON'T INTRUDE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SPACE!!! Well. It so happened this person crossed his legs such that his knee was pressing against my seat. And perhaps many people don't know this, but it's really uncomfortable for the person in the seat in front because this person's seat has just become very hard, and they can't lean back. The worst type of people are the types who sit down in the most un-lady-like (for that matter ungentlemanly) manner with BOTH their knees pressing against the seat in front of them. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! IF YOU PAY THE BUS FARE FOR ONE PERSON, YOU JOLLY WELL TAKE UP ONLY ONE PERSON'S SPACE!!! I mean, if u wanna do that, at least make sure there is no one sitting in front of you. Granted if the person comes after you, then that's the person's problem. But on a first-come-first-served basis, if someone is there 1st, and you want to sit in such an inconsiderate position, then you jolly well find a seat that has no one sitting in front of you. In any case, after a while i got pissed at the man, and changed seats. One day when i have the courage i might actually scold the next person who does it to me again.
Ok, then work was ok. I spent practically the whole day doing the sec4 chem paper (yes i know, my chem teacher called mi over-enthu). And then my mother picked me up from work. Then as we were driving back, we saw this blue car, not once but TWICE, cut into our lane without signalling! If I was the one driving I'd probably not be able to stop in time! My mom calls it 'katong-drivers'; they think they own the road. When I get my licence i will keep that in mind. And for those of my friends reading this, please don't be annoying like the driver of that blue car, and signal early.
And then we got home. My mom stayed in the car to wait for me while i went up to drop off some stuff and change to my running clothes. Granted, she parked really badly (afterall, she was expecting to drive off real soon), and this guy came and parked beside her, and apparently he was pissed at my mom for parking so badly, when he opened the door of his car he whammed so hard that now my car has a dent. And for heaven's sake my mom was still sitting in the car! The nerve of that guy! And this guy is supposed to be our neighbour!
Ok, then when we got to bedok reservoir and wanted to park the car, there were no parking lots. But lo and behold, there was this car that was taking up not one but TWO parking lots! And caused so many of us poor souls to keep driving round and round looking for a parking space. Sheesh. Look, there's one thing about parking badly when you're still in the car, there's another when you LEAVE YOUR CAR IN SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE POSITION and go off somewhere! Hey just because you drive a big shiny car doesn't mean u can take up more space than required! Afterall, it's a free carpark, so be nice, and let other pple park!
Then the last one is the ultimate, left my blood boiling so long that i felt i had to blog about it. Ok, on the way home, we were just driving along sanely. And while i wasn't looking at the road, (i was in the passenger seat), my mom was. I was looking out my window. And I saw this guy on a scooter getting closer and closer until he was so close i bet his leg brushed our car. So, in panic, i motioned to mi momma that this guy was getting dangerously close. And mi momma had to do a quick swerve to stop him from banging into us. Apparently he was trying to filter right. Yup, and right into out car. Sheesh! He expects my mom to be able to see him when he like on the left side!? In any case, he's the one who's supposed to look out for traffic when filtering! Ok, that aside, me and mi momma was barely just recovering from the annoyance, when this same guy just came up in front of us and braked! So mi momma had to break really suddenly (i bet the pple behind us were pissed as well). Eh, look, on the road, there's no such thing as revenge (particularly when u're in the wrong in the 1st place), and in any case, if you wanna take revenge, DON'T DO IT WHEN YOU'RE JUST A TINY SCOOTER!!! I was telling my mom that she should've just not braked when he braked and let's see what happened to him. (ya, i noe i'm evil, but don't such pple deserve to die!?) Afterall, when you're on the road, size does matter. Well, as if that wasn't enough, at the traffic light, we stopped way behind this guy to avoid his childish behavior, and he even motioned to us to move up next to him so that he can pick a fight with us! Me and mi mom just ignored him (my mom said such behavior shouldn't warrant our attention. The only other time i heard her say that was when she was talking about our 3-4 yr old sunday school kids!). Afterall, it won't be long till he's off the roads if he keeps this behavior up. I can only pray that when he's off the roads it's because he's got too many demerit points rather than because he's not even on the planet anymore.
Arr... I'm sooo annoyed! Think I'll go play a little FF12 to cool off, meanwhile take care pple, and wish u all the best in keeping away from the annoying ones.
Well, it started out as a pretty good morning, and i got onto the bus to go to work. And i was having a rather enjoyable journey when suddenly this guy got up on the bus and sat behind me. Ok, now i understand some people have long legs and it's terribly uncomfortable to be taking up just your space on the bus (given the really narrow leg space), BUT AT LEAST DON'T INTRUDE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SPACE!!! Well. It so happened this person crossed his legs such that his knee was pressing against my seat. And perhaps many people don't know this, but it's really uncomfortable for the person in the seat in front because this person's seat has just become very hard, and they can't lean back. The worst type of people are the types who sit down in the most un-lady-like (for that matter ungentlemanly) manner with BOTH their knees pressing against the seat in front of them. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! IF YOU PAY THE BUS FARE FOR ONE PERSON, YOU JOLLY WELL TAKE UP ONLY ONE PERSON'S SPACE!!! I mean, if u wanna do that, at least make sure there is no one sitting in front of you. Granted if the person comes after you, then that's the person's problem. But on a first-come-first-served basis, if someone is there 1st, and you want to sit in such an inconsiderate position, then you jolly well find a seat that has no one sitting in front of you. In any case, after a while i got pissed at the man, and changed seats. One day when i have the courage i might actually scold the next person who does it to me again.
Ok, then work was ok. I spent practically the whole day doing the sec4 chem paper (yes i know, my chem teacher called mi over-enthu). And then my mother picked me up from work. Then as we were driving back, we saw this blue car, not once but TWICE, cut into our lane without signalling! If I was the one driving I'd probably not be able to stop in time! My mom calls it 'katong-drivers'; they think they own the road. When I get my licence i will keep that in mind. And for those of my friends reading this, please don't be annoying like the driver of that blue car, and signal early.
And then we got home. My mom stayed in the car to wait for me while i went up to drop off some stuff and change to my running clothes. Granted, she parked really badly (afterall, she was expecting to drive off real soon), and this guy came and parked beside her, and apparently he was pissed at my mom for parking so badly, when he opened the door of his car he whammed so hard that now my car has a dent. And for heaven's sake my mom was still sitting in the car! The nerve of that guy! And this guy is supposed to be our neighbour!
Ok, then when we got to bedok reservoir and wanted to park the car, there were no parking lots. But lo and behold, there was this car that was taking up not one but TWO parking lots! And caused so many of us poor souls to keep driving round and round looking for a parking space. Sheesh. Look, there's one thing about parking badly when you're still in the car, there's another when you LEAVE YOUR CAR IN SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE POSITION and go off somewhere! Hey just because you drive a big shiny car doesn't mean u can take up more space than required! Afterall, it's a free carpark, so be nice, and let other pple park!
Then the last one is the ultimate, left my blood boiling so long that i felt i had to blog about it. Ok, on the way home, we were just driving along sanely. And while i wasn't looking at the road, (i was in the passenger seat), my mom was. I was looking out my window. And I saw this guy on a scooter getting closer and closer until he was so close i bet his leg brushed our car. So, in panic, i motioned to mi momma that this guy was getting dangerously close. And mi momma had to do a quick swerve to stop him from banging into us. Apparently he was trying to filter right. Yup, and right into out car. Sheesh! He expects my mom to be able to see him when he like on the left side!? In any case, he's the one who's supposed to look out for traffic when filtering! Ok, that aside, me and mi momma was barely just recovering from the annoyance, when this same guy just came up in front of us and braked! So mi momma had to break really suddenly (i bet the pple behind us were pissed as well). Eh, look, on the road, there's no such thing as revenge (particularly when u're in the wrong in the 1st place), and in any case, if you wanna take revenge, DON'T DO IT WHEN YOU'RE JUST A TINY SCOOTER!!! I was telling my mom that she should've just not braked when he braked and let's see what happened to him. (ya, i noe i'm evil, but don't such pple deserve to die!?) Afterall, when you're on the road, size does matter. Well, as if that wasn't enough, at the traffic light, we stopped way behind this guy to avoid his childish behavior, and he even motioned to us to move up next to him so that he can pick a fight with us! Me and mi mom just ignored him (my mom said such behavior shouldn't warrant our attention. The only other time i heard her say that was when she was talking about our 3-4 yr old sunday school kids!). Afterall, it won't be long till he's off the roads if he keeps this behavior up. I can only pray that when he's off the roads it's because he's got too many demerit points rather than because he's not even on the planet anymore.

What's happening to the world?!
Well, I 've been rather disturbed lately.. been thinking alot, so i shall just write down some of my thoughts here...
Well, 1st of all, I've been listening to a lot of radio (cuz I got my new phone and it has radio!). Does anyone realise that like 80% of the songs are about love? (and another 10% is pointless rubbish) And out of these love songs, 80% are about sex? For that matter they use words like 'i wanna love you', and that directly translates to 'i wanna have sex with you' if u listen on to the song lyrics. Seems like the world equates love with sex or something. Pple say 'i love you' all the time. It's used so liberally. But what really is love? If it's not just sex, then maybe it's an attraction? or maybe it's just a feeling? Well, that's what many pple think, but love is supposed to be so much more than this! Isn't it sad that love is seen as such a worthless thing nowadays (so many pple claim to love each other, but look at the way they hurt each other, is that love?)... A few years ago it wasn't like this.. Or perhaps i've grown more aware?
Sigh so this is the world we live in eh? Kinda had a bad reality check. So what happened to no sex before marriage, and having sex with only ur spouse after marriage? It's getting harder to keep these values up in this world, and sometimes i wonder if i'll have the strength to continue being faithful to what i've believed in for the past 19 yrs of my life.. Even some of my closest friends have quite liberal views about this. And even they don't think I can keep it up... But I know this is important. Because God is the one who made us, so he knows what is the best for us. Even if you dun believe in God, you have to admit that liberal views on this issue can destroy relationships and future marriages (i mean, how would u feel if u found ur boyfriend/husband one day 'on the bathroom floor banging with the girl next door'?! and how would u feel if on your wedding night ur husband tells u u're lousy in bed and describes all the other girls he's slept with and how much better they are? wouldn't it be better if both u and him have nothing to compare that special moment to?). Sigh it's hard.. My dear friends, please pray for mi k?
Other than that there are my frens in army. I've heard of so many pple who go into army and backslide. Some come out with vocabulary u've neva heard them say before. And I know most pple will tell me, 'well, everybody does it, welcome to the world!". But do things really have to be like that? Strange, pple talk about changing the world, but once they're out there in it, they become like it and there goes the 'changing the world' dream... Sad isn't it? Maybe one day i'll also become like that? I hope not...
Yup, let's keep praying ok, let's not give up and say, "arh well, it's too hard, forget it." let's keep praying for one another to stay faithful to our cause :)
