Restful..?
Why isn’t there new posts ? Because this week has been too fun and a tad busy. I minded the tiring parts at first, but since I only have one week to play before school starts officially, I better make good use of it then! Speaking of which, I am totally uninterested to start school the following week.
Can I just please live like this forever? Hahaha.
Monday was farmday and kbox day with Chiteng and Tango. The farm place Chiteng and I went to was located somewhere in Yio Chu Kang, surprisingly near Jalan Kayu (which is kinda near my place..). We sort of took a wrong route and ended up walking for a good one hour before finding the place. The one hour walk was fine (considering how many hours I had to walk in korea) but it was made worse by the glaring sun and polluted air. We finally entered the animal resort and stayed for half an hour before leaving. We had fun feeding the fat rabbits and greedy horse. Oh and I didn’t know goats have eyes that looked so weird! I don’t know how to describe but the eyes certainly did looked strange.
After coming out of the farm, we decided to lunch at AMK Hub before heading to the kbox there. Their service and sound system was alright, plus it wasn’t crowded, but one word of caution: it was super duper freaking cold! It was so cold that the 3 of us were shaking and having trouble holding the mic. I walked past the other rooms and saw that everyone else seemed to be very cold too. We tried to sing songs that will make us high but I wasn’t because they didn’t have any korean songs AT ALL. Real bummer.
Tuesday was Sushi Day with Fish and Nadiah. Once again, plenty of fun. I really didn’t know making sushi is so hard until I tried it myself. The rice was ridiculously sticky and the sushi was super hard to roll nicely. In the end, we didn’t follow the recipe that we printed out, we just added whatever we like into the sushi hahaha. Fish is very talented with the rolling and making and cutting, she calls herself the sushi genius
Finally we come to Wednesday. Zoo day and Mind Cafe. What can I say? Zoo was really fun plus the company was great! Although it was humid and hot and smelly and stuff like that, I had a great time man! Watching all the shows, taking the tram ride, seeing the big cats and monkeys.. Ahhh just too fun! I wanna go back when baby Ama is older! (:
It was a good time of fellowship at The Mind Cafe too…. I just wish everyday is a day as such. Hahaha (:
Rooroo.
Today was a good time meeting up with Tango, Roomie and Rud. We trotted over to the new Tampines ONE to try their Japanese Gourmet Food Court which actually was just alright only. My main course was alright, though a tad pricey, but I like my chocolate banana parfait. (: We spent some time catching up with one another, hearing them talk about their funny incident at Kallang and the chalet, comparing who is the PS queen (Joanne or Rudith) etc. It was really fun just hearing Rud and Tango speak animatedly, I really will miss them so much when I return to school next semester without them. ):
I was glad that I decided to go and hang out instead of just heading home. The latter decision will result in a better financial health but it will also mean been too holed in. Furthermore it will be the last time I can see Rud before she flies off for her work and travel in the states. Speaking of which, I will definitely miss seeing you at training rooroo! You better come back safe and sound and soon! Take care of yourself and stay away from the pigs. Hahahah (: I will miss you (:
No more roomie :(
My dear roomie moved out today and it marks the end of three good years with her. The room feels empty and my voice is hauntingly alone. I’m gonna be missing so much of Hall 4 along with the fun things I’ve done with Chiteng. It just seemed yesterday that we moved into this seemingly old and rusty hall. All the expensive shopping in ikea, the excitement over the prospect of staying outside home. The many dinners, I’ll be waiting and she will be waiting. The endless and sometimes senseless chats. The taking care of me when I fall sick in hall (come to think of it, I can only remember her falling sick once or maybe if my memory fails me, none at all). It’s the many things that I’m darn sure I will miss, and have already started missing. There will not be a second one, it’s only her.
So I’m feeling upset over the things I’m gonna miss, but still glad because some things won’t changed. Whatever had happened won’t change, which is a good and bad thing, but I will get over the sadness, and I will want to see you often my darling roomie. I hope this feeling is mutual, hahahah. I’m trying not to think about the inevitable sadness that will overwhelm me when Tango, Joanne and Rudith graduate. Suddenly, hall life will never be the same. And deep down I’m struggling if I should stay next semester, will my fyp allow me not to? I was thinking I just will wish for one more good year with Jo, Tango, WN, Rud and Chit in hall, but then I realized, if I had that one more good year, I will wish for another one. And another one.
So I guess this is goodbye.
Roomie go out with me soon okay! It feels weird not seeing you enough.
And for you, I doubt you will ever understand. And I realized you only like to rant about YOUR problems, it’s always about you and never about me. Thank God I’ve learned to understand this sooner, then I can let it go when you behave like that. Tell me when it will never be about you? Never probably.
And don’t tell me you agree with me, when I saw you kicking dirt in my eyes.
It’s comfy.
Every morning before I start my work I read through the headlines in channelnewsasia.com. After a few weeks of doing so, I realised that this might not be the best way to start your day because all I read are depressing news. Economic downturn, scandals, disagreements, war, bombs, fire, lives lost and etc. And sometimes it bothers me that I’m reading all these in the comfort of my office while it’s suffering and real pain all around our sunny shore. So I say a quick prayer for those in need and feels even more convicted with each passing day that people need to hear the Good News. If they haven’t already heard so.
To know that there is a God who is going to stick with you through all these down times and will make a way in every situation if you would trust Him should bring much comfort during cloudy days like these. The type of lifestyle you live is a choice. You can choose to live for yourself, live for today, deny what you know is the right things blatantly. I think that’s why every single day I need to remind myself when I wake up that today I am going to follow Christ, no matter where I go or what I do.
So I’m sorry for forgetting that momentarily that day, I must have been a disappointment but I won’t do it again already. (:
On a lighter note, I’m dismayed that my earphones of two months is already ready to kick the bucket. -_-” Utter disbelief when I woke up one day to find the right side not working. Technically, it’s kind of working, but only if you promise to hold it in a certain position. Which is rather disturbing because I can either have a not enjoyable session of listening with just one side or have an embarrassing session of listening while holding my ipod in a funny way. The choice is tough.
Maybe Sean is right when he suggested that I buy the more expensive brand. I guess this is the price to pay for trusting Creative!
And it seemed like doggies outing is off. Sighpie, I was still looking forward to it. No choice I guessed, at least I could rest at home this sunday (sorta trying to console myself). Surf and Sweat soon, we’re taking part in the captain’s ball event, so should be loads of fun. (: Minus five or plus ten, I just hope we will have an injury-free time of fun with each other in Sentosa =)
I’m getting fed quite well recently I guess =) Nice people buying stuff and giving stuff. I’m really thankful for all that I’m receiving because I know it’s all God’s blessings for me. It’s much loves and it’s making me smile each day. Big fat thank yous!
And can you believe it… the Weekend is here already!
Proposal.
Please let Derek propose to Meredith by the end of this season! And please assure me that Addy is only back for a consult, nothing more and nothing less about this Grey-Private Practice Crossover Episode(s?). I’ve got a feeling that if the writers are bright and chirpy (I hope from the bottom of my heart that they are) this season, we might see a grand wedding at the season’s finale. Wouldn’t that be awesome? (:
It has been too dark lately, I need some sunshine like this.
Anyway.. what happened to Georgie! I want to see more of Georgie.. He deserved so much more screentime. But I guessed that’s the problem when you have an overcrowded star studded cast. Last season viewers complained that Bailey wasn’t getting enough screentime when it was all about George. Now we are facing the reversal. Oh bummer, you can’t please everybody can you? Oh, maybe can take away the Callie-with-whichever-girl storylines. It’s seriously turning way gross for viewing. But of course I’m sure many others will beg to differ.
It’s hard to please anybody. People are damn damn damn damn hard to please. I think that could be why we just want to please ourselves because that’s more achievable than trying to please others. Don’t you think so? I can sense the rants coming in if I allow myself to go on so I shall just stop here. Note to self though: Don’t talk to strangers along a dark road even if they ask for directions. Creepy!
Doggies outing please? Weekends soon please?? I miss you already charlene eng!
Happy CNY!
I finally understood how it feels like to have two days off a working week: Pure Happiness. Now I know why the working adults cherish their leaves, public holidays and sundays so much, rest is really hard to come by. I’m sad that today is monday already. And in no time, I’ve to start waking up early to go for work and etc.
Past few days have been way too enjoyable. Staying up late in the night to talk to people properly, watching funny shows that I’ve always wanted to watch and sleeping in late the next day… I really miss doing all these things frequently. Plus the weather has been so cooling these past weeks, so imagine my joy when I can wake up at 1pm past few days. (:
I had a really nice reunion lunch with the RG girls on Saturday and it was many thanks to Rebecca’s parents that we could enjoy ourselves so much. The lunch felt quite homely to me and I’m glad I decided against the idea to dine outside. Sunday was going out with the besties and it was quite fun and nice. (: So I’m happy happy and I really thank God for all these. I’m quite looking forward to Wednesday’s reunion dinner with the team people! Although the group is big but can see that Rudith Yang finally. LOL.
This is random but chatty cab driver, fast cars and cockroaches should not exist in a single cab ride because my heart can only take this much. So imagine my horror when these three converged into one cab ride today, I really thanked God that the distance was short and thus the unbearable-ness too. Hahah.
Pineapple tarts are the only thing I eat during CNY and this hasn’t change a single bit. Pineapple tarts FTW, like what Vic just told me. (=
My only concern as of now is that I can’t find the literature articles that my boss wants me to find.
Can’t find it at all and I think is because I’m not keying in the right key words. Sigh, I don’t know what his reaction will be if I tell him I can’t find what he wants. God, please help me.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! Since I’ll be away from the 23rd to 28th, I just want to wish everyone an early Merry Christmas. I went church today very tired and lethargic because I had a good yet energy consuming week. And I received much loves in church today from various people so I really want to thank everyone for all the Christmas cards and gifts. Plus I’m sorry I didn’t have anything for anyone(but I’ll give soon I promise!). So for now, I’ll do my greetings here and pray hard that everyone I love will drop by and have a look somehow!
To my coursemates,
Hello Boon and Fish. Merry Christmas and thanks for making school an enjoyable place to go and here’s to another good year ahead! (:

To my canoe polo teammates,

Thank you for tolerating my grumpiness and I love you guys, truly. (:

From being the game masters to planning events with us. Thank you for being sporting and supportive even though we got messy and last minute sometimes. I love serving with everyone of you. (:

To car,
Hello and Happy 19th Birthday! I really thank God that I am able to serve alongside you in this ministry and thank you for being so supportive, obliging and willing every single time. Thank you for not being impatient with me and I hope you have a great time in HK and I’ll catch you when you get back (:

To my other church friends,
To the ministry cell mates, Shiying and co, NTU cell peeps and so many other wonderful people: Merry Christmas and I hope you guys will truly enjoy yourself this Christmas. See you all soonish! (:
To my besties,
My dearest Leepengpeng and Roomie! I think we somehow spent less time together this year but I thank my God that I have you guys with me through the year. Thank you for loving me and taking in my nonsense and sarcasm. I pray that we stay like this forever.
To Leepeng,
Thank you for quarreling and making up with me every single time. You know I love you from the bottom of my heart (: And since next year you are working already, remember to feed me and chit okay! Merry Christmas and I can’t wait to celebrate it with you when I get back!

To my one and only Roomie,
You give me support and comfort when I need them and you roll your eyes at me at most of the things I do. But.. but we stay so well together! We should just get married! Hahahah. I bet we co-exist more peacefully than some married couple (think Don Don and Saori!). Anyways, Merry Christmas Chit, thank you for lighting up my life. (:

To my family,
To my mum, naughty sister and my most favorite dog on this planet earth, Merry Christmas and thank you for all the love shown towards me. I pray that God will continue to bless and watch over us as we move in to 2009 together. I’m sad that I’ve spent two christmas away from home and even though we don’t celebrate christmas as a family, I still hope everyone of us truly enjoy the joy of Christmas every year!
And last but not least,
To my God,
Thank You so much for all that You have done and have been doing for me. Thank You so so much because of You, I am able to say Merry Christmas. Thank You for loving me and giving me so much grace everytime. Thank You for assuring me and seeing me through all the events throughout the year. I love You (:
So Merry Christmas to all of you once again! Till then.
Happy.
You can be happy even if no one else gives a damn. (:
We said no Facebook, but you didn’t say no blog!
It’s your birthday!
Here’s to an important friend: Happy Birthday RUDITH YANG!
Although you drive me crazy with your silly antics, I thank God that I have the honor of knowing you. And although you are not in the picture… I just wanna say that I wished you came along with us for this trip. Really seriously. But anyway, thank you for being such a cool friend, thank you for the encouragement and concern you dished upon me when I couldn’t play for Nats Champs. Happy birthday once again, dancing diva. Stop being so scandalous and I HEART YOU
