2006-12-11T03:29:00.000-08:00

is it becoming increasingly troublesome to post pictures on blogger or is it just me? sheesh.

still kinda sick from church camp which ended on friday. though i must say it's probably one of the most 'posh' camps i've been to. besides YMLC in malaysia where we had big hotel rooms. for a youth camp this was pretty pampering. hotel rooms, our very own towels, TV (!), lots of rest in the afternoons, a BIG room (hurhur cause we got the corner room), complimentary breakfast at the YWCA cafe and lots more. ahah really not bad! well i guess i kinda felt a lil old for camp this time, being the oldest official year in YM. there are older people but they're people who stay back in YM to serve. found myself spectating rather than participating most of the time. ahah but i really did enjoy making friends with all the younger YM-ers and sometimes secretly laughing at their expense. and it really reminded me of how i started getting involved in church and the super fond memories of God igniting that little flame in my heart to serve and love Him! it was actually very heart warming. no pun intended. hurhur. but honestly i guess i approached camp with a very guarded and possibly cynical attitude, cause of past camps and the whole hype of camp etc etc. like a lil tired of seeing it happen each year, where we all get on this high and we're on fire for God and we go for the altar call and commit our lives to Him and make these life-changing decisions in the span of a few hours. then after awhile it all dies away and we go back to being our same old selves. very possibly, much of this view comes from personal experience. and so this year i very subconciously guarded my heart against it. like thinking rationally in my head before making any commitments, and not letting my emotions get the better of me. it did get to me on some nights that i didnt feel anything anymore and that my heart had become so hardened to God. i wanted to feel all the things i did before like the unexplainable feeling of happiness and the strong urge to just love everybody. and i thought that there might really really be something wrong with me. cause even if i wanted to feel it, i couldnt. but today when i just thinking about everything, i realised that God was definitely there and it couldnt have just been hype. and i may not have realised it in the way that i'm used to, but He was so visible and evident in other people's lives and the way He's growing all the younger people in YM at such a mind blowing pace. just seeing people much younger than me praying for each other with such fervence and passion, seeing how the younger worship team members have improved SO much and how they just love each other so abundantly and even seeing kenneth serving now and how God's changing him really tells me that God is real and He did visit us at camp. and i realise that i do feel different. in a less hyped up and maybe strong way, but like a little feeling in my heart to remind me about the important things in life. ahaha i dunno i guess this whole year i've never really found the need to be serious and think about this stuff very much cause it's been so slack for me. like there was never really a time when i needed something very much. and it seems to be in those times that we really try and draw close to God. but i think its important to think about these things often, to keep in mind what we're living for. and this puts the whole idea of christmas back into perspective! YAY! (: falalalalala.

caroling's started! so this weeks just gonna be practice everyday. feeb's on holiday and i'm missing him already. haha at least its just a few days! then we can play cause it's his block leave! we need to go christmas shopping and get out christmas outfits (HAHA). really really looking forward to meeting up with pals too!! like cel my belle. and all the other people who have disappeared into their studies. that's over now right?? so please let's play (: went playing a lil bit on saturday night with slo and po. ahaha PO AND SLO. i guess you could also call it loser night. i wont say why though. as usual, it was retarded and fun (: i love hanging out with you guys. like really. here are some of the pictures but i dunno why i cant put more.

i now know that i should never smile like that in pictures ever again.

my one and only schmonly. (:

dont really know what's with the whole backview thing. but i do know that there's a REALLY funny video of slow trying to do a sexy back view. ahahahahaha.

you and me, we are pals forever. cheers to the frump busters. (: 'love, love is a verb..'

CHRISTMAS DRAWS NEAR. HIP HIP HOORAH (:

2006-12-03T02:23:00.000-08:00

2006-11-27T21:05:00.000-08:00

haha i'm getting so blog happy now cause i'm always at home with nothing to do. everyone's having exams and feeb is in army. hitman's also getting a little hard to play. haha i keep having to read the faqs which is really no fun at all!

anyway on friday was shenanigans(sp?) 2! haha it was pretty fun cause i met so many old friends from AC and even SERVE! hahah like a place full of random old friends. but the besttttt part of the night was when the bands played! not cause it was super or anything but because two bands played this damn nice song that i've been trying to download for 3472982743 years. i heard ngak sing it many times in timbre but i never knew what it was called and then i forgot all about it. then they played it that night and it was awesome!! i get so happy listening to it. oh yes the song is our time is running out by muse! WAAA. i havent found a song like this in a long time. those make you damn happy kinda songs.

i've also been watching lots of prison break again. haha which is silly cause all this while i couldve watched it on peekvid just that i wasnt properly informed! anyway i just need to say that I CAN'T WAIT TIL EVERYONE IS DONE WITH THEIR STINKY EXAMS AND EVERYONE IS BACK FROM LANDS FARAWAY AND GREY T SHIRT GETS TO TAKE LEAVE. ohh the things that we could do! play like mad! (: oh ho ho ho. i'm going mad from the possibilities. it'll be like the good ol' days after school before army/uni everybody!

HOLIDAYS ARE HERE. GET YOUR HOLIDAY GEAR ON.

this is irene chua and i at the citibank d&d which they managed to let me go for! haha it was really quite interesting cause the theme was movie world and people really really dressed up! the best costume was this guy who wore the mr incredible suit! it was very very very tight. there was lots of jiggling involved as well. hahaha. then someone dressed up as the wicked witch from narnia the ice queen lady! her dress was so elaborate. oh yeah irene has a gun under her dress cause our theme was sposed to be mr and mrs smith.

me irene chua tricia and irene tan. as you can see, nobody followed the theme.

mummy's birthday at american club!! haha thats mum in her happy dress. we're missing someone!! there's an empty space where he's sposed to be standing.

look! tofu's brown now.

heehee okok byebye! MERRY CHRISTMAS (:

2006-11-27T08:27:00.000-08:00

more pictures from melbourne (: i just need to say that most of these pictures are thanks to poans cause she was EXTREMELY click happy on the trip. so much that when she took a picture on the plane she forgot to turn off the flash. and had to write the word flash on her hand so that she'd remember to swtich it off before taking. haha but it was great cause so many more things about melbourne were captured on film with her around (:

this is me and a protesting farmer in the city! haha it was really quite a funny sight - tons of men and women in farmer outfits and cowboy hats handing out flyers and holding signs parading up and down swanston street and a tractor filled with fruits and veg parked along the pavement! apparently they protest lots in melbourne! while we were there, there were also the pretty violent protests regarding the g20 meeting i think! only saw pictures of it in the newspaper though it was actually near where we were staying.

my fellow nmr and i on the way back from college square at night in the blistering barnacle cold!
this is a super nice shot of what joan calls the 'crown dino.. i mean dragon'. these huge metal things lined up in a row which 'breathe' fire at regular intervals throughout the night.
dreaded krispy cumbersome-to-carry kremes. top view.krispy kremes. side view.
stella! this was after visiting victoria market, and just about to embark on our LONG journey to DFO - De Factory Outlet (according to joan). actually its direct factory outlet. beginning our journey up the big hill that led us to the highway. after taking a really long tram ride. trudge trudge trudge. finally at DFO! looks like the airport huh. it was actually on the way to the airport. but i have to say DFO was really SUPER huge. it had super super lots of stores and it was really mind blowing. however we didnt have time to look at everything cause we were going to be late for the planetshakers church service(wow!)!
haha still has more but i'm sleepy.

anyway i'd like to say that christmas is coming!! and i'm so very absolutely pleased about that (: we were rejoicing over it today (joan and i) and saying that we should start celebrating christmas now so that it'll last longer! so..

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

joan and i also agreed that we should spread the festive joy by singing christmas songs loudly wherever we go. she tried to kick start that today by beginning to sing at a very very loud volume for swongs neighbours to hear. she blasted 'MERR..' and then realised it was sposed to start with 'we wish you a..'

hahahaha.

2006-11-23T21:19:00.000-08:00

some pics from melbourne! but dont know why i can't load more. stupid blogspot.

2006-11-13T10:13:00.000-08:00

no more citibank! i guess i'm relieved that i dont have to wake up early every morning and i can sleep late now (: but i think i'm gonna miss all the people there too and just sitting around listening to citibank gossip. anyway here is a picture of the mike they use to announce to the entire floor that citilaundry/ mooncakes/ kerropok man/ ice cream man/ balloon man/ whatever they have planned for that day has arrived! its really quite cool. i was very very tempted at numerous occassions to turn it on and start whistling an eerie tune into it. hurhur. but then i figured it might get me fired.

the citigold client centre! (:also went to visit slowthewoe on friday night with mcpoans. its really amazing how easily we can entertain ourselves with a camera. there are lotss more pictures but blogspot doesnt seem to be feeling generous at 2.37am in the morning. so this is all they're allowing.

i actually uploaded some of them onto www.flickr.com/photos/nakedmolerat. i dont know if its accessible! but didnt get to load all that i wanted either cause there's a monthly size limit i think. ohwell.

going to melbourne tmr with poans! heehee we have great plans to cook and exercise. but i highly doubt that it'll pull thru. esp the exercising part. but we can aim can't we.

i've been spending most of my weekend time playing HITMAN. haha its really quite addictive. kenneth and i have gotten quite hooked actually. its on xbox 360 and your characters this paid assasin and you go around doing jobs for money. very fun!

ooh. late. goodnight world (:

2006-10-30T05:16:00.000-08:00

hey look i found a stitching program! (:

2006-10-19T04:36:00.000-07:00

i heard two damn funny jokes yesterday and i SERIOUSLY laughed so hard til i was shaking ok. but then when i look back, maybe it's due to the fact that i'm becoming increasingly ah lian from working at the MG counter that i found it so funny. but i'll share it anyway!!

joke #1.
What did number 0 say to number 8?

'Fat already, wear belt for what?!'

hahahaha well, it's actually sposed to be in dialect but i dont really know how to say it. something like pui le pui, kwa si mi belt?

joke #2 is a story about meepok, mee kia (straight noodle) and maggie mee and is to be told in very singlish tones. it goes like this.

last time in the village, meepok always like to bully mee kia. everytime he see mee kia he will beat up mee kia . so one day, meepok was walking in the village and saw maggie mee. then he said 'EH! donnnnt think you perm your hair i cannot recognise you!'

HAHAHAHAHA omg i still smile to myself everytime i just THINK of the joke. ok i understand if not everyone shares my sentiments but i hoped it brightens up someones day at least a little.

lastly, more cool pics of our light display (:

ipod ad!

mich all over the place.

nice hor? :).

2006-10-17T07:01:00.000-07:00

i think i'm becoming more aware of the citibank outlets and services in singapore now! like the ones at paragon, esplanade, pwp, so MANY! and the one that i work at has a (get this) drive thru atm! is that cool or what! i'm so impressed with citibank hip hip hooray! haha i havent really been blogging much abt work but it's really not bad! at first i found it a little mundane - i think it was cos i couldnt do much. but now i'm slightly more confident so they allow me to greet more customers and handle more stuff on my own! plus the company's really great. we're actually called meeter greeters haha where we meet and greet. there's four other meeter greeters besides me!

there's irene chua the big cheese, she's been working there for 6 years plus! she was originally a relationship manager at HSBC but decided to concentrate more on customer service so she became the head meeter greeter at citibank! so she's reallly good at what she does as she's really knowledgeable about all the banking do. and her ability to deal with difficult customers is godly. haha refer to earlier posts about examples of that!

next there's tricia nah! haha she's one of the funniest people i've met as in seriously. she's got longgg hair and she's really fair. big eyes and a nice nice nice nose which she often jokes is fake, and i'm really starting to wonder whether that's true now. she's the entertainer.

then there's irene tan who is 3+ months pregnant! she's really cute too cos she eats damn a lot now. and she drags us all down with her (UGH). haha she's got 9 brothers and sisters - is that mind blowing or what! and she's the youngest. we call her mummy sometimes haha.

last one's sharonn (with two 'n's!). she's kinda quiet and she's been on compliance leave for the last week or so, so havent been seeing her much! but she's really responsible and calm. heehee like a second in command big cheese.

all the other meeter greeters cept irene chua were from SIA or silk air so you can imagine that they've all got really clear skin and pleasant faces! that's what i'm surrounded by everyday!

i've learnt lots since working in citibank! besides all the expected stuff about banking products and procedures, i've learnt a lot of dialect and ermm non-ac lingo as well! haha i can count in hokkien and teochew and cantonese (kinda but i need to refer to the paper i wrote it all down on though). i've made kwite a lot of new friends as well. i've been called a banana, which sorta means that i'm chinese but not really, and they call me ermm something like jia kan tang (?) which means eat potato i think. sorta like very american. and very strange this guy calls me shoulders. i'm not too sure why but i think i have an idea. haha and throughout the day there are very random and funny conversations that take place behind the meeter greeter counter. mostly involving tricia nah.

some of it goes like this:

tricia: (to irene tan who is heartily singing mambo songs) eeyer! please dont make my mo (hair)stand!
haha ok its not that funny but when she said it i really burst out laughing cause it sounded so absolutely strange.

tricia: wah! when i think of what she did i feel very TL!
me: huh what's TL?
tricia: aiyah better not tell you later your mum say i teach you bad things
me: no no just say!
tricia: have you ever heard of tu lan? (we say du lan)
me: hahahaha isnt it Du lan?
tricia: you angmoh kids from acjc dont know what you're talking about la! come up with your own. DU LAN??!

haha something like that. later on i learnt what was LL and KL as well.

there's like heaps more which i cant think of at the moment. but all these make the day pretty enjoyable! that and the frequent spying sessions using the very super duper powered CCTV! haha there's like this camera that they purchased (4000 bucks) and installed into the work area where all the RMs are seated to check if they're at their seats when we need to find them. and what they didnt realise was that this CCTV is amazing - it can zoom so far and focus so well that you can actually read what's on their computer screens. its really scary actually! sometimes we call the RMs when they aren't that busy and tell them that we can see what they're doing. haha one guy called back later on and said that he felt very paranoid and watched and he couldnt do his work properly. he later proceeded to scratch his ass for our viewing pleasure. so yeah its really quite fun but i dont want people to think i'm overpayed so i dont do it THAT often and i dont read their emails cos it's really damn bad!

well so that's my entry about work. just like 3 weeks more and i'll be bumming again! dont know if thats a good or bad thing (: but it feels nice to earn your own money.

well some MORE pictures from joan's birthday at turquoise room cause i never really got to upload all of them.

this has to be posted cause joanie poans looks so cool! finally not wearing a t shirt and CHECK OUT THE HEELS. haha not platforms. heels. slow is just cute.

an interesting bug that i met in the toilet there!chris's farewell dinner at da paolo!

hi mich (:

jedi knights. dont ask me why our light sabres are on our faces. we just like it that way.

getting ready for our light show!

i reallllllly like this picture. you can see the outline of my facee! that's me that's me! we tied three lightsticks together (RGB) and spun it round and round.

oh no i cant seem to load anymore peechers i dunno why. but there were more! anyway BYE CHRIS! be good (:

yay quite a happy weekend! (: on friday was eleena's supplies(!!) party at brewerkz which involved lots of waiting, supplies-ing and a preeeeetty white coat (: then east coast with feebo to celebrate the mooncake festival without lanterns, lots and lots of dangerous, badly made and unnecessarily noisy sparklers, and a quarter of a mooncake each. we (and everyone else in east coast park) were contributing GREATLY to the psi index with our celebrating. heehee. but it was real fun.

sat was one heck of a day! we visited vivo cityy which is HUGE. lots of cool shops that us pals like :) like the best of orchard road (sorta) put into one heck of a mall. candy empire's opening there as well. reallyyy crowded but not packed due to its vast area. but its really a workout man, walking everywhere in that place!

sundayy was sleeepy. church and then joan came over to watch the human stain - actually wentworth miller - but i fell alseep a few times. then it was christines birthday dinner at borgo! yummmm food. HAAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISSY RULEZ 4EVA. (:

i know i've been complaining kwite a bit but i really need to say this. do you know what ranks damn high up in the list of the most irritating things in the world? like daaaaamn high up.

a pimple in your nose.

o m g. please do not underestimate the irritation and discomfort that small little ANNOYANCE can bring. its right up there in the list with under-feet-mosquito-bites and paris hilton. like seriously :( my mum tried to tell me it wasnt as bad as a pimple in your ass crack. ... i suppose she's right. but at least that doesnt make you look like half a rudolph.

pah.

well on a happier note,

happy 30th month feebo/tiny little small!:)

huggies muackies and heehees.

here's a song for you feeb. dont know if you rememberr!

everyone tells me that i'm not in fashion,

i dont look like the girls in the magazines.

they may be hidden, but i've got my passions

i just dont parade them round like some home-coming queen.

take a look, here i am, cant you see?

one simple smile from you can set me free

so wont you take a look, let your heart be your guide

i'll show you more if you take a look at the girl inside.

just went to timbre with eleena dorcas shawn and my cousin and ngak(!) was singing :) and it reminded me of when all of us used to go so much (okay too much) and just talk and take (too many) photos. whee it was so fun. i miss you pals.

oh no and i just saw a dead cat on the road while driving back. :\ it looked very very dead.

okay its 1.33 and i'm going to be a very sleepy kren tmrw. gdnite world.

2006-10-02T07:27:00.000-07:00

oh no.

i just realised i'm going away soon. oh no. didnt realise til i had to start thinkiing of where to stay. lucky there's swong and steph and a whole truckfull of people staying there already with many reliable onions about the places to stay. oh no :( sad. it'll be familyless and beefless and good palless and a lot of things that i likeless. like.. pals. oh pooh. never mind!

i watched underworld last night! after watching miami vice which i didnt really enjoy. but anyway i just remembered how good underworld was. and wentworth miller was in it! looking totally nerdy and un-hot. but it doesnt really matter because we've seen him in his full potential in PRISON BREAK. so we all know. :) and kate beckingsale was just gorgeous as usual. its just that i had this strong urge throughout the duration of the whole show to comb her hair for her or tie it up cause it was just UNRULY. i couldnt take it. it was like frizzy and greasy (and you have to realise its not easy for hair to be both of that at the same time). but nonetheless, it was a good show. hip hip hooray. more shows - keith and i watched Basic on sat night. okay half of basic. and it was just our luck that the pirated dvd (okay shame on my family for buying pirated things) decided to fizzle and sputter just after they revealed a rather exciting part of the plot. PAH. that's about as exciting as the weekend gets. just a few movies and lotssssss of sleeping. heehee. which i didnt really mind at all.

back to work today. i have a mister angmoh big beerbelly to thank for giving me a lovely start to the week. he walked in and i greeted him at the counter (he really was very huge), and he started complaining about his citicard and how it did not work anymore. as he was talking i smelt alcohol and i knewwww i was in trouble. he started getting more and more worked up and demanded that his card be given to him straight away cause he'd called in advance and they told him that they'd have it ready for him monday morning. stupid citiphone for doing that cause they did NOT warn us about mr beerbelly. so being the responsible temp that i was, i smiled sweetly and handed it over to my boss who took all the shit. heehee. hey but it was for the good of the whole client centre seriously. i dont know what i wouldve said if i carried on serving the guy. anyway irene (my boss) handled it perfectly. enduring his completely unnecessary insults and accusations, apologising profusely and being absolutely patient when she really did not deserve the treatment he was giving her. saying things too vulgar to mention, and being extremely condescending to her and other staff. woah man. everyone was just watching them. he was speaking at a much too loud volume in the nice and clean client centre, in plain sight for everyone to see! gosh. anyway thumbs up for irene who really really deserves a friend of singa award and more for the wonderful way she handled it man. SIAO.

i also met james lye in the pantry today. HAHA i did the stupidest thing in the world. i said to him "are you VR man?". hahahaha he looked at me and said 'is that a question?'. then i said 'do you still have the costume?'. there was a brief silence and then that marked the end of the conversation between me and james lye. hahahaha. oh well. i was just trying to be friendly. geez. but he really is quite charming i suppose.

anyway. whee. more work and more tea from the 10 cents drink machine. i miss everyone btw. i miss us. collective us. pals. ok hope everyones good (: yippee.

kkk foreverrrr.

2006-08-16T00:27:00.000-07:00

i dont like changeeeeeeeeee.

2006-07-24T05:55:00.000-07:00

haha sometimes i really wonder why we girls have to be such.. girls. like scream and talk loudly, get excited and jumpy discussing selected topics, dramatic about every single thing that happens to us, hyper sensitive to what others say about us, and this characteristic tendency to group together in bunches with labels sometimes. dont really wanna mention any examples but SSKC or something to do with butterflies. haha i am definely and totally guilty of ALL of this mentioned above. and i was thinking bout it. like why cant we be more.. steady. and stable. and less. fragile. like more.. rock-like. solid and all. and WHILE i was pondering the matter, i realised it's because that's just how we were made and its the reason why girls remember birthdays and do sweet things much much more than guys do. and its because we are this way that we can count on one another to just have a totally ridiculous conversation that really doesnt mean much, just to take away whatever gloom there may be due to other life happenings! and i used to think this whole girl group thing was overrated and it was just for the sake of having a group. but with everyone going overseas or just starting uni and becoming extremely old-ish uni students with laptops, i really came to appreciate how greatly i'm blessed with these absolutely irreplacable girlfriends. haha people often comment that 'girls are just so emo'. emo actually stands for emotional (cel). and people DO have emotions you know. and theres really nothing wrong with showing some once in awhile! friends are seriously one of the greatest blessings that God gives, and to take them for granted would be absolutely foolish! esp since we're all gonna be going away soon :( grr. but anyway, my point is that, while people may continue with their notions (which aren't always misconceptions) that girl groups are for the sole purpose of having a cheerleading squad behind you when something goes wrong, or to ensure that you don't feel lonely going to the toilet, i say that its really that, and something more! they're there to have fulfilling and satisfying conversations about anything and everything, even if you're meeting up for the first time in months. cause its as if once the bond is formed, it's kinda always there. and they're there to provide different views and insights on matters like overseas studies (haha), haircuts, clothing, people and absolutely anything that is within discussable range. and the magic of it all is that everyone is so diverse that it never gets boring. there's always the mother-like figure, the blur kid that always gets us checked for id wherever we go, the girl who you can hear from miles away when she talks, the fragile ceramic bowl, the belle, the tough-stuff mambo queen, the tiny hyper talker, the calm and collected bamboo pole who is in hiding most of the time, the other calm and collected girl who looks like a bigger version of the tiny hyper talker, and the clever cambridge girl. and there are the other people who we dont see so often but will always be remembered like bubbly shumin and small swong and little lesley. haha if theres any names that arent here it just means we havent met up in a LONG time so lets do! but you get the idea.

so whenever you find yourself getting irritated with a bunch of screaming girls (you may be part of them), or thinking that girls are ridiculous, remember that its girls that wont look at you funny when you start crying or pouring your heart out, and its girls that wont tell you to "chill/chillax (omg)/take a chill pill (omgomg)/relax/stop being a kanchiong spider/calm down/etcetc/", and its girls that wont hesitate to hug you or grab your hand or just say something to liven up the mood when a speck of sadness can be detected! so hip hip hooray for us girls. its okay to be a cheerleader once in awhile. hahaha :)

2006-07-23T05:32:00.000-07:00

meeting now pals and past pals! :)

weekend with genuine smile :)

hooray!

racial harmony day - cute lil chinese kids. can't possibly stay angry at kids as cute as that!

on a less happy note, happenings in the bathroom.

this is/was undoubtedly the hugest cockroach i've ever met in my life! i sprayed it so profusely that its guts literally POPPED out and i'm not saying it for dramatic effect. you could seriously hear the sound if u were quiet enough. those black dots next to its dead body are what used to be its innards. ee.

2006-07-17T07:05:00.000-07:00

i know this is a lil late but happy birthday keith jon lew!you're really tiny.

emo speech: thanks for everything that you've been to me these 2+ years! (yay) it has really been damn exciting and great :). haha and many many other things. you're really the specialest and smallest person that i've encountered and i really like you! :) hooray on turning 19, tiny!

well the weekend was exciting! spent keithing mostly. dinner on friday, movie on sat and dinner with josh! and grrr dxo. haha. and sunday was cel's baptism (GO CEL) and then lunch with old pals(!) and then a lil walk arnd town with mr jon again!

we watched pirates of the carribean which i kwite liked actually. hahaha the story lines kwite complex but i loved the characters and all their mannerisms, esp johnny. haha i'm trying to be like those pple that talk abt movie stars like they're good pals. "hey did u hear abt brad and jen?!". omg.

anyway back to schoo. haha i made the mistake of being kind and nice on the first lesson with the p3 kids. but mistake corrected! all those teeny lil brats cant walk over me. i didnt know i could shout too til i started teaching. kinda losing my voice! but i can imagine myself getting kwite attached to the kids actually. i spend a lot of my time looking at the girls and picturing what they might look like when they grow up! i've seen many tiny versions of pple i know! sounds wrong but i'm starting to think God is reusing faces. hahaha.

weeeeeeek!

looking pleased with my present. i can tell when you're pretending ok!

oily boys and girls in sentosa.

dxo pictures. nightmare! haha team jk. its okay josh we pick ourselves up, learn from our mistakes and try again next year! :) nice working with you though. i had fun! over and out!

2006-05-24T04:28:00.000-07:00

not much has happened since our little incident last week. think that was the peak in the excitement against time graph. ever since then it has been nothing but plateaus and downward slopes! i can proudly say though that i ended hermit/bookworm week with a relatively more happening weekend. there were its little peaks along the way! like shopping with cass the ass, potluck at beckys, sentosa with beef, dropping my slipper while on the chair lift (keith says i'm special), cass's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASS! :) i love you a lot. even though you hurt me with your words many times. round ball with sticks. my fave-ret memory of cass is when i very skillfully managed to throw a piece of blue-tac right into her ear in p5. she was singing too loudly (you'll find that she still does) during class, and didnt wanna heed my advice to turn it down a notch. heehee so i resorted to harsher measures! but cass has been an awesome pal even after so many years. and i feel that she's matured into a better person from her MM-BOP days. hahaha. just kidding.

well staying at home has made me more like a SLOW LORRIS (lorry), but it's also allowed me to expand my vocab from reading! i'll share my new words so that i learn, you learn and everyone's happy! i read two neil gaiman books, anansi boys and american gods, both of which i really like! and that says kwite a bit cause i'm not really much of a reader. well here we go!

10 new words: (there's lots so i'll pick the better ones)

celerity - swiftness of motion
blithely - lack of due concern, carefree or light-hearted
tetchy - peevish, testy
perfidious - treacherous
mellifluous - pleasing to the ear
vicissitude - a change or variation
dour - stern, harsh; silently ill-humoured, gloomy
lugubrious - morunful or dismal to an exagggerated degree
irascible - prone to outbursts of temper, easily angered
moue - a small grimace, pout

there. my minds really becoming very stale staying at home all day. urp. cant wait for europe :)

2006-05-18T04:57:00.000-07:00

i must admit that i haven't been blogging cause there hasnt really been much to blog about. nothing whooopeedoo happening recently. esp this week since it's been hermit week. but NO, there has been an incident that MUST be blogged about! an act of perfidy! a MURDER!

ladies and gents, let us now give a moment of silence as we mourn the death of my terrapin gil grissom.

it MUST be said though, that this regrettable happening was no accident! it was a carefully planned and plotted murder by gil's fellow terrapins NICK and GREG. may their names be shamed forever. poor gil was drowned on the 18th of May, 2006, by nick and greg in the glass bowl in the toilet. the two treacherous little critters whom gil once regarded as friends piled themselves on top of gil at the edge of the bowl in attempt to escape. they must've sat on top of him for more than 10 minutes as poor green gil sat stuck, gasping for air, til he was gil no more.

unpleasant and awful as this incident may be, i photographed the details and evidence like a real CSI would've cause i knowwww that that's what gil would've wanted. in loving memory of our dear gil grissom.

the crime scene. before it was processed. thats gil in the middle with the lighter coloured shell. looks alive right? dont be fooled. he's dead. :(

culprit #1: Nick Strokes - who will be now known as Nasty Nick.

culprit #2: Greg Smanders - i havent thought of a murderer name for him yet. but i will.

CRIME SCENE :( - bowl in the toilet. why wouuld anyone wanna try and escape from something as cosy as that anyway?

the culprits and the victim photographed together. see the guy on top? that's greg. the moment i put them down, he zooomed (as fast as a terrapin can zoom) off! i dont know about you but that's the tell tale signs of a guilty toitle i say.

gil in his coffin. gil was the leader of the pack. the top dog. the big cheese. i had many versions of the story in my head actually. one involved gil being all noble and sacrificial, offering to be at the bottom of the stack while the other two tried to escape. but then. when i saw how the green little creature ran, i knew there must have been foul play.

and so, today was the fateful day that GIL GRISSOM'S life was brought to a close. God rest his little soul.

2006-03-08T08:34:00.000-08:00

post serve!

haa today was hillarious. so many funny moments. those kind where your face sorta cramps up from laughing. HAHA. its a 'HAHA' moment. first involved some old friend from way back so i wont mention it. the second is outshone greatly by the third. so i shall speak of the third. haha i dont tell stories well and tend to change my tense often but i'll try. ok so joan and i were on the mrt today and she told me in this really deep-thinker sorta tone, 'i like people watching'. so i said 'okay tell me bout our surrounders'. she replied cool-ly, 'people are sick.' haa. so okay i left it (cos she tends to say stuff like 'pick the horse of your choice' and random others). a few stops later, two people got up from their seats to leave the train so joan and i moved to sit down. she sat down first. then when i sat down i found that it was awfully squeezy and realised that joan was PRESSING me against the other lady so i shoved her in the other direction cos there was lots of space between her and the man on her other side. HAA then she turned to me and whispered "the man next to me is one of the 'observed sick' i didnt realise!". just then he HACKED really loudly and gave these grunts and like 'sick' noises. hahaha joan looked like she was gonna die. she sat on like HALF of the mrt seat hahaha i think everyone knew what was going on. the whole ride i was just laughing uncontrollably because moments ago she was just telling me about how paranoid she is about this stuff. 'inconspicuous germs' she called them. well she really had a face to face encounter with them germs. truly a HAHA moment.

heh that was on the way to meet mich at queensway! we went to buy shoes and eat swedish meatballs and ikea yum yum! mich is kinda my jc shoes buying pal. really nice to know that she's still there! :)

well doubt i'm gonna get any work soon cos i'll be going to boston in about 2 plus weeks time! been trying to meet up with old pals and get all the uni stuff done. my mums making me apply to so many australian ones. even those i cant imagine going to. raa. everythings moving much too fast! but anyway there was this job offer my friend told me about which paid like 1700 a month!! that's a lot right? but u've gotta have at least 2 months working exp and i dont have that.

well met with some of the serve pple that night, then kiet and zar last night. went cycling with keith and got really burnt sometime during the week too! have a horrible birkenstock tan.haa. watched underworld too which was alright but i must say that whatsherface is REALLY hot. steamy if i may say so myself. hA. kate beckingsale.

well been packing my room, throwing away all my JC stuff. been reading lotss of old letters and notes from pals and getting really nostalgic. haha some letters really made me laugh out loud like the one with 'mr cone'. haa great pals. bah! then all those retarded things we used to say when we were in sec schoo. like friendship quotes that u write in autograph books and all that. hahaha. found a really touching card from josh, a hillarious birthday card from tits, a theory about SIA written by professor po, my school notebook filled with many interesting drawings from keith and tits, and lots of other letters from old school friends. gonna spend the next 2 weeks trying to meet up with everyone before they scoooooot away to army or uni! haa so sad : ohweell. happy csi wed!

haa an attempt at a class gathering at james' house!

heh a very well timed shot by josh the stringbean.

haha been trying not to take too many pics so as to prevent becoming a photo wh..izz. :) so dont have much to put up. just that we went mad that night at essential brew with tabi eunice deqi clarice and josh. so there ended up being many photos. must've pissed the people around us off with our flashes. okay all in moderation! in closing, i need to say that STARBUCKS HEARD MY VOICE! haha or so i keep telling myself. toffee nut latte IS now a permanent item on the menu! just ask for an iced latte with hazlenut syrup and u have yourself a toffee nut latte! hurhur. my brother insists that it coudlve always been on the menu but i choose to think that starbucks responds well to feedback YAY! hooray for starbucks!

2006-02-02T07:31:00.000-08:00

hah chinese new years over! just like that. and it was so long too! anyway it was pretty.. normal, good and bad all at the same time. started on saturday night with learning dota from keith (which resulted in me dreaming about it the next day. like killing those creep things) , which was good, then going for a spin in posh josh's SUPERCOOL car, which was really really good! ended with dinner with keith and josh and shuu on tuesday night at newton and the big hair aunty! in between was the normal visiting. and what was good too was that i found another CSI pal during chinese new year! :) carol liew! hurhur she's this leader in my church whom i met on tuesday evening with joshua and she's funny. she says she likes nick stokes because he's handsome and beefy HAHA. we're gonna play the CSI BOARD GAME tmrw :) anyway i'm so happy with these new found csi pals. the other one, joshua, says that he'll try to get our group to go on some tour of those labs and stuff. or like mortuaries (sp?). cos his godfathers some head of HSA! i just LOVE it when people sit down and talk about csi. its the next best thing to corn.

anyway so this was chinese new year.

my family and gramps! :) i got everyone to do the bunny ears.

our pictures are always different.

my cousins! big girl joey, small boy brennan and lil girl heather!

cutest pieces of kids in the world.

haha my favourite people. Klu Klux Klan! :)

kung fu master brennan! heather calls him 'teedee'. (didi)

this boy is seriously the reason why family gatherings are something to look foward to. he's really adorable and he likes girls. already. we were walking at the swimming pool at shangrilla. then he saw this lady in a bikini walk by. then he was like 'hey whats that! lets go there!' and he pulled me there! what a hunter!! heehee. i like. so cute. and the cutest thing about him is that he needs to touch someone's elbow before he goes to sleep. like he grabbed my hand at first and started smiling sneakily. then he made his way down to my elbow and pinched the skin there. then he gave this biggg grin. hahaha. really makes ur day with how cute he can be.

today we went to settlers cafe at clarke quay! super fun haha they have so many board games man! it was awesome haha we played taboo cranium and this game called pit. which is sorta like heart attack but cooler cos there's a hammer to whack everyone with. yeah its such a great place i'd definitely go back there! then there was dinner with ann and ben. which was really great! enjoyed catching up with annoe the cool after SUPER long. just that i'm a pal from the past who always has to make the effort to call her out. if not we'll never ever see each other man. but haha great memories. outings with her are always talking bout the crazy stuff we used to do like sing ourselves silly on mornings when we wake up from staying over at her house. we'd play cds in her room and sing at the top of our lungs til we had bad headaches! our best cd was SMASHMOUTH. haah we knew like all the songs. then we used to sneak out of her hse at night. i was illustrating to her what a good influence i was. her now friends made her sneak out to go dancing and clubbing and all. i made her sneak out to go caltex and buy drink. hurhur. anyway the bond cant ever be broken i think. its awesome! even though she's SO damn one friended now. the good times cant go away!

speaking of good times, i really miss mary wong rou hui! haha she's really my mary. guiding my sheepish lambish paths. i cant even remember how i became her lamb. think we were sitting in the science lab one day and then she just came up to me and said 'eh kren u're my lamb! u have wool.' ok mebbe she didnt say that but it was as ridiculous as that. anyway she was awesome. we used to play TEXTWIST on the comm during faeces lessons with mr lim chong han. and her physics textbook is like FILLED with my nonsense. then we had this dustbin which we all wrote on. we even had a bar chart to chart our moods on each day. like high and low. there was damn lots of ridiculous stuff that i reallyyyyyy loved super lots. haha all the a3 pals. one of the best times of my life. hurhur stop being so busy with work mary and lets go play ok!

and to mr keith! when u've returned back to the island which we live on, you can give me a buzz and we'll go play too! i had fun watching TV at ur hse that day (by myself). heehee. just kidding. OK BYE!

2006-01-30T08:28:00.000-08:00

wow there's this really nice song on the radio but i dunno what its called. sounds damn retro. goes something like 'straight up now tell me do u wanna love me forever, or am i just caught in the hit and run' or something alone those lines. whats it called!

hurhur i feel kwite satisfied! went shopping with shoo cass joan and swong just now for chinese new year clothes and bought some satisfying stuff. shuling had a series of embarrassing moments hence making her slightly frumpy. but its ok shuu everyone has bad days. :) before that was lunch with my family at american club where i found out that this horrible incorrigible boy by the name of THEON threatened my tofu brother! grrrr. makes me so mad thinking about it. sent him all these vulgar sms-es telling him to watch his back and swearing much too much for a young PUNK like that. all because kenneth my hero stood up for what was right. geez. i wanted to sms theon gas back and tell him to watch his yapper but then the passive tofu didnt wanna give me his number. no one talks to kenneth like that. he's like the big peaceful monk in mulan. haha. what a pinhead. THEON freon.

on a happier note, the night before was really fun! :) went for steamboat with the serve people at marina bay. it was pretty darn fun! like 12 bucks only and alllllllll that food. haha it wasnt so fun eating it but more of cooking it! i went around cooking on everyones stove cause i was so thrilled with the whole idea. but at the end of it there were like major layers of grease and oil over everyones face and hair. whoo. by the end of it a few of us were going crazy haha must've been the smoke. then i went over to pudders house where we met cel and then we visited princess fragile who kinda ASKED that we visit her at her house cause she was going to malaysia the next day! then i stayed over at shuus. ...i need to say this. SHULING WAS TALKING CHINESE IN HER SLEEP. i should've just suffocated her with her pillow. nipped it in the bud. she's turning into a real chinese doctor type. goodness gracious. our friendship wouldve been compromised. we'd have communication problems.

and the happier part of my night involved shu and i going to seven eleven on the way back to her house to get green tea :) then we had a fortune cookie each with the 7-11 aunty and boy. mine said that my smile was nice and shulings said she should go for the things that are hard to get. anyway that marked the start of our chinese new year eve. and here's the high point. on the way back to her house, i realised that i could make noise with the green tea bottle! like in the carlsberg ad where they put their mouths to the opening and blow across the top. anyway it was such a breaking moment in my life cause i'd been trying to do that for DAMN long. after that, everything was blurry cause i was too caught up with my new skill.

oh well happy chinese new year everyone! :)

our steamboat dinner at marina bay!

tw0 of my new friends: carol and jene :)

we were so lucky to be able to see fireworks! :) it was really nice but my camera got oily :(

i was so pleased to find a true blue CSI pal by the name of joshua in my group! now we can't stop talking bout csi and trading csi terms and info. we were so obsessed that we made our own crime scene. i drew the knife :) joshua made the man.

that day at serve. reliving the school days! we look like an OG! haha i couldnt find my acjc blouse so i wore kenneths acps shirt. and so i was 'kenneth lim shun min' for that day. our family lunch near judy's house. it was really funny cause we asked the man to help us take a picture but he took a video instead. and so now i have a video of us smiling and keeping still for a long time. hahaha. looks real spastic.

okok gong xi fa cai :)

2006-01-25T05:05:00.000-08:00

eepers getting a lil tired of the whole serve thing. i mean like waking up early and then sitting thru the 10-1 lecture. thats 3 hours! haha i always find myself falling asleep no matter how early i sleep the night before. no but i really shouldnt complain! today i met two people who have WORK after serve and get back at like 11 plus 12. and then wake up earlier than i do. and i heard there are lots more people at serve who have work. haha aik that makes me sound like such a brat ok i'll keep quiet now. anyway when i get there it aint so bad. its just the waking up early.

but these two fellas are a huge part of what makes serve fun and easier to get thru :) along with all the other unique people. haha theres joan and matt the newly weds. matt's trying to look like joan with his rolled up jeans. the pair seriously crack me up. today they cut each others hair. haha there's something new everyday. there's never a dull moment with joan and matt! cept when they're both sleepy at the same time.

we had some talk about delivering messages and speeches today at serve. then the speaker talked about like delivering it clearly and the possibility of misintepretations. i've had my share of wrongly said words recently. haha the first is kenneth's TINY boy pal right he's awfully small and has a realllly innocent kinda look. esp compared to kenneth. anyhow he's talking to my mum about swimming. so my mum was like 'so sean how's your swimming? good?' then he's like 'well my freestyle's not bad but my sisters breast is very good.' then kenneth starts laughing really loudly and i bet the poor guy had no idea what he said. hahaha. he's really cute though, kenneths lil pal. will try to get a picture of him.

the next one was today when pastor kai ming was talking to judy and asking bout the dance we're gonna put up for the fairfield methodist chapel soon. then they're teasing joshua (this guy from my group) bout dancing pretty well and standing in front and everything. then judy's like 'yahh joshua's really good ok! he even has his own private part!'. hahaha i certainly hope so. anyway judy's so cute. now they've taken to calling her 'private parts'. so from this we learn that it is wise to allow ur brain to process what u wanna say before actually saying it.

everyone's like working and bussyyy and i'm always so tired after serve. no more meeting pals! actually i really really miss a group of special people. seriously miss them but hardly ever seee them or talk to them anymore! my A3 pals!! here's a picture for a more visual effect. if any of you read this, hurry organise an outing please :(

but i doubt any of them will read this cos everyone's out doing their own thing. zar's busy looking gorgeous, roar's roaring at everyone and combing her mane, mary's rearing her meep meep sheep, kiet's studying for uni and jo's getting high on honey water like she always does. i missss everyone. i remember we used to play with the tops that come in cornto packets and have competitions. my top was named 'bob'. but i gave him away. he was a real winner i tell you. always kicking everyone's ass at spinning. then there was mich the A2 pal who played hopscotch with me behind the classrooms with chalk! haha i really enjoyed that and also the way that u always joined us on our outings and fit right in. what a natural!

haha i have to exclaim that i'm REALLY excited about going to boston! haha going in april with my brother for his MIT orientation for a week! suuuper exciting. we're going to new york too heh. i know he's like gotta stay on campus for four dayss so maybe i can go roaming the streets by myself. haha i bet my mum'll just freak out. then i get to visit andrea the perfect too! she says i can crash her lectures in welsley! if thats how u spell it. hurhur i'm so excited. :D

oh and before i go, did anyone watch tiramisu?! haha i'm a bit embarrassed that i watched it but i really have to ask, who's that guy with the brown hair that married the messy lady in the last episode? he's gorgeous! haha if anyone knows what i'm talking about, please tell me! he looks like my number one! haha :)

ok BYE! :)

2006-01-23T05:23:00.000-08:00

haha watched in her shoes last night with my mum and brothers. didnt really like it. my mum's colleague told her that it was a damn good show and it was about family. smart mum read it that its the kinda show u should watch with your family. and so we did. and when all those sexy scenes were shown you could see her grumbling to herself bout how she was gonna slaughter her friend. then she kept turning to kenneth and saying 'you shouldnt be watching this i'm so sorry' hahaha. but ah kenneths a big boy. literally too.

my mum is seriously the funniest person i know! besides joan. she went for this dental talk that night and she sat next to this old man who she talked to for like almost half the lecture. u have to know that my mum's this super friendly bee who makes conversation with everyone within a 500 metre radius. anyway then when the break came, she told the man that she was gonna go down and ask the lecturer something and she'd come back and tell him about it. so she asked and then she went back to her seat and told her friend (the old man) next to her about what she found out. then half way, another man came up to her and said 'scuse me u're sitting in my seat!' then my mum was like HUH and then realised that she had gone back to the wrong seat and was actually talking to a whole different old man. and the guy was just like playing along!(?) hahaha then she was so embarrassed. she even called the first old man the next day to tell him sorry. hahaha. damn cute.

oh yesterday after church joan and i went to kbocks with mich shumin jamie and matt. my first time! haha it was kwite a fun experience cept that i didnt know most of the chinese songs! it was really amusing though seeing everyone blasting away in chinese songs as if they'd been speaking chinese for the whole duration of their life. haha i tried to sing the only song i knew 'wu ding'. but the chinese words werent easy! then there were the english songs which was loads of fun. lucky duck joan is going to BSB concert tmrw hahaha. they're seriously damn old. their latest album is called 'never gone'. my brother said it sounds like a threat.

well more and more serve! so sad to hear that there's that nice concert with stereophonics snow patrol and franz ferdinand in bangkok but i cant go cos of the mission trip! its the ONLY weekend that i cant leave singapore. bah humbug. well kwite a few more weeks of serve left! its going pretty good. haha here are some friends!

the un-twinned twins, sabrina and samantha. we took the longest time to realise they were twins.

me and bennett the big baby! its strange that i met her at serve cos like 2 plus years ago i taught her piano at some camp! :) anyway she's really cute and funny!

this is lyndel joyce! she's philippino :) she folds good cranes.

heh ok that's more friends from serve. hope to befriend more and put them up here! ok well gonna have an earlllly night! even though i slept the whole afternoon. haha i'm becoming a real buttock. byebyebyebyebye!

2006-01-21T06:41:00.000-08:00

i've been meeting more bugs lately. this is one i met at my doorstep. its kwite cool right! green alien bug. i find that everytime i meet a bug bug, i'll find myself meeting a human bug after that. oddly strange isnt it. maybe i can become an entomologist like my hero gil grissom. heh!

so this is the bug bug.

and then.. this is my friend cel. but she's got nothing to do with bugs. i think she looks very nice.

yay the past few days have been pretty fun and fulfiling! serve's been going well and it got extremely good when we were told that our group was going to a child care centre to help out! st andrews child development center! we get to plan games and everything. the lady showed us pictures of the kids and they're so cute! ages 3-6! i like. there were also more enriching talks about the beatitudes and stuff! also went for a service at st james church last night with keith. really glad we did too!

went to timbre on wed with matt and judy to watch EIC. kwite nice! judy and i went exploring the area in between sets and we met these two huge eerie statues that were HUGE. someone commented that they looked like burnt cookies. think it was izzy the tiny painter.

u gotta admit that they look much much too sinister to be cookies.

i hope it's evident why judy's called a cereal box.

we saw other creepy things like a building with green windows and this building which was supposedly a church i think! the masonic club. not very sure. judy said it was like a cult. something to do with the free masons. they had this stainglass window at the top with an eye on it. like a single eye. jeepers creepers. i was too afraid to take a picture of it. inside there were blue lights glowing.

so this is me and my explorer friend the beautiful willy wonka, wearing our explorer half jackets from zara.

heh then thursday night was memoirs of a geisha with chu cel and slo! it was kwite nice i liked it! they're all so pretty and elegant. the geisha i mean. but shu cel and slo are pretty and elegant too i suppose. cept when shuling eats ice cream. heehee just kidding! :)

and here's me and mish last night! we took spastic photos which really cracked me up. she showed me how to make new retarded faces. i really learnt alot! thanks mich. this is the normal one. :) i hope u found your wallet!

lastly, thanks everyone for ditching our treetops walk plan for this saturday morning. the one we planned for like more than a week ago. i really appreciated it. well actually not everyone. just a group of special people :) hAHA morons.

ok have a gooood sunday! over and out. bzzt.

2006-01-18T03:20:00.000-08:00

i dont know why but there are just some days when the funniest jokes dont seem so funny, the most interesting people seem a lil like mrs gasper, and the idea of talking seems a lot less appealing. i have a sneaky feeling today's one of them days. i cant really deduce what makes a day 'one of those days' but it just is. and the most tiring thing in the world is trying to pretend like its not. forced laughter and conversations where u consciously have to think of what to say. phew. what a work out man. haha i'm such a complainer. anyway its really days like these that call for a walk down happy memory lane! its sorta like stealing a bit of the happy juice from past happy moments (which are usually overflowing with it) and using it for those kinda days. so here are the happy moments of my life :) hope u get happy reading it too!

first of all, ORIENTATION!

heh it was really tiring but definitely worth the energy cause it was just day after day of heart stopping action! and on the last night, all the OGs gave their OGLs pretty presents and cards. kong jien and i, we got a bucket of water on our heads. one each.

next, melbourne in june with my family! it was awesome cause it was the first holiday where all 5 of us were together in a longg time! i know i look like an illuminated pao there but the background is pretty! i loved it cause it was so cold and nice and slow moving. kept thinking about how nice it would be IF i could go there to study. wow.
definitely, my 2nd favourite memory of last year, my birthday! or at least the night before it. heh had a really nice dinner at keith's house then he sneakily lured me back to my house where everyone surprised me at 12. it was dreamy!

really big thanks to keith for that.

that's everyone at my hse! :) :) :)

my most favourite memory and the best holiday that i've ever been on! haha it was just jam packed with super duper memories and moments that are too nice to describe! heres a representation of it. awesome heh.

there are lots lots more that i usually think back to like hong kong with the shu cel and slo and like the zoo and council dinner but i dont have peechers of them. heh. but they're really good for boring days! its like a bank. hoho.

2006-01-17T07:08:00.000-08:00

i just went to the acjc website to check and i know who the teacher that shuling looks like is. her name is..

MRS MALINI LIM.

please confirm.

hyuk hyuk.

2006-01-17T04:42:00.000-08:00

a lil bit bout what we do at SERVE.

we go into deep meditation..

make new friends (green striped preferably)

that's joan and amanda bennett the green candy cane.

play chinese checkers (?!)

eat LOTS and LOTS of things we shouldnt be eating :/

and as a result, having stomachs the size of.. :)

heh just kidding. thats only when we go on break! serve's been really interesting these 2 days! we've been learning bout the history of the church! like bout the crusades, the early roman catholic church, the divisions between the churches, and all sorts of other interesting history facts! there are 22,000 different denominations of the protestant faith! wowee i really didnt know that til today. learnt about calvinists and zwinglians and many other words that sound abstract! simony is the act of buying spiritual authority. like u could pay to be a cardinal. lots of new things!

well yesterday after serve matt joan and i went over to shumins house to watch some korean drama. my name is sam-soon i think. hahaha i wont comment cause i know joan and shumin feel strongly about it. and SHUMIN i know u think that i secretly like it but seriouslyyy its damn dramatic like the run to each other in slow motion and cry in the rain kinda show. heehee. yup then after that shu matt and i went cycling and walking at east coast and there was this whole flurry when shu realised she lost her phone. so we like followed the path where we cycled and searched it out CSI STYLE. i must say we were real vigilant and truly CSI standard :) good job team. gil grissom will be proud. oh gosh i miss CSI i want the new season to come out. codis afis luminol.

today was a full day at serve so i just came home and slept! anyway i've got to wake up early so gdnite :) i'm tired.

2006-01-15T03:55:00.000-08:00

i have found the core. all other things are now peripheral.

haha friday was pretty tiring but fun til the last part! had serve in the morning, then went over to joans to play squash with her and chu. we then met a sinister bug. meet sinister bug.

doesnt the bugger look sinister? like evil-ly shaped and sneaky.

later at night we went to timbre and we met another sinister bug. with eyebrows. lots of them. hAHA. but the place was really nice and the band was dreamy. reminded me of this thai band we watched in phuket. they were really good but their pronunciation was crap haha like 'everyting's so blurry'. ok just kidding. but like its damn mesmerising (sp?) to watch good bands!

then saturday was short. everything seemed slow motion cause i started sleepy. but i watched football hooligans at night and it was really nice. i liked it lots :) watched it with keith and he turned to me during the movie and said 'eh why is elijah wood so big now?'. haha strange bird. heh just kidding. seemed like mindless fighting but actually turned out to be pretty good! makes u feel sorta satisfied watching it. and i bought a new cd today. feist. some female singer which is pretty good. heard it in matt's car. not bad pretty nice. anyway happy birthday to matt!

learnt something pretty kooky but good at serve that day. 3 ways to talk to God and hear His voice. the first is to just be quiet and meditate on Him and just keep thinking about Him. cause i guess if we just keep talking and talking and talking we'll never really hear what He has to say to us. then the other is to imagine in ur head a scene where u DO meet God and just think about what you'd say and what He'd say in reply. like allow God to put the thoughts in ur head. the third was like CHAT STYLE. haha like u write down what u wanna say to God and think what He'd say back and write it down. was reallllllly cynical about it at first. cause then it just sounds like u're talking to urself. and writing what u think u wanna hear. but then rev norman wong asked people to share what God said to them and also to read out the dialogue and it really sounded different from what the person himself was saying to God. like its not something u would create and imagine for yourself. they're like completely new ideas. haha i dont really know how to explain. but was pretty amazing. like it sounded like it was really someone else and not just the persons imagination. haha i guess the only way to be convinced is to try it yourself. though i know its really hard to jump over that bar or cynicism. but he made a good point that we can't have two way conversations with God if we're talking and telling Him what we want all the time.

well here's some peechers.

dinner at fish & co with chu cel and ian!

'fish dont take nets' they said.

pretty shu and hot mich and mediocre molly.

slo the ceramic bowl (fragile: handle with care)

cel the pretty skinny girl. the pretty, skinny girl.

week four here we go!

before i stop, i need to say that shuling looks like one of the acjc teachers. i mean shuling's new hairstyle. the one in the photo above. like straightened with a straight fringe and little feelers at the side. she's a gp teacher and she's not very chinese. i've been trying to name the lady for a long time but i cant seem to. its frustrating. ok bye!

2006-01-14T23:09:00.000-08:00

the story of george the metal keychain boy.

there was once a metallic boy named george. he was shiny and bright.

however, something was missing in his life.

he knew he needed to do something about it.

so he set out in search for a metallic girl to fill his emptiness.

'she looks like the she's the right shape' he thought.

'hey there, won't you be mine?

you've got a lovely figure and i think you'd fit just right.'

taken in by sweet words as most metallic girls are,

molly the metallic girl rode off into the sunset with george the metallic boy.

'you complete me', said george.

molly and george grew rusty together and lived happily ever after.

THE END

2006-01-12T03:33:00.000-08:00

haha there were better days than today. i think the weather isnt helping much. so gloomy : ah but it was a nice day nevertheless. i met a five star ass and willy wonka. meet my new friends.

give it up for the starry eyed surprise.

no prizes for guessing who this is. HAHA. willy wonka willy wonka.

yup and i made friends with the pencil today! i intend to get to know everyone in serve, give them a name, take a picture and put it here :) there's a really pretty girl too with awesome hair and she's called 'the chick' hahaha compliments of matt. real deep, i know. my group is called servivers. HAHA i named them. maybe i shouldnt tell people that.

well mishhh i may not be able to go for oasis but i'm going for franz ferdinand woooppeee :) i'm kwite excited. i just like going for concerts in general. haha joan made me this scrap book of our peechers and some of them were of our michael buble concert adventure. and ALL the pictures there had some bald mans head taking up like HALF the picture. haha she cut out all the heads and stuck them on one page and named it 'freaks'.

everytime i see big groups of people around town like boys and girls looking like they're desperately trying to make conversation the first thing that comes to my mind is that they must be an OG haha. and when i see AC people i get so sad cause i kinda miss schoo actually :( there were damn a lot of happy memories and stuff. like everyone was just there. now everyone seems so far away :( oh so dramatic HAHA. well i tried to put up pictures of my favourite memories but they aint showing up iono why! maybe i'll try another time. i'm really new to this whole blogging thing. but i actually get quite excited thinking about it during the day. which is really embarrassing considering how i used to laugh at all the BLOGGERS. hoho. but like i always think about how i'll blog about the new people i meet at serve. heh heh i'll post more about my new pals! Oh and i met this cute lil kid too. i'll take pictures of everyone YAY. okok til tmrw til tmrw!

hair eater, woman beater. :)

my christmas fish.

2006-01-11T04:45:00.000-08:00

haha i know how to get people to read your blog. post lots of pictures. and if possible, pictures of people. then they'll come and look to see if they look alright. haha cos that's the only reason why i read slo's blog. HAHA just kidding! she's so fragile. better not say hurtful things. slo u know i dont mean it (: anyway those are my beautiful pals who i love a lot! i dont know why i started blogging. guess its cause early mornings dont permit late nights so i'm at home at night most of the time. and cable TV gets boring, esp since it's been screwing up a lot lately! gets fuzzy and disjointed. puts my brain in a flurry. haha mc flurry. i went to macs today to try the new beef rice burger. not bAD! but it was a lot of rice and veg and very SAUCY beef. heh. literally. think the mos burger one is nicer.

oh and i know how else to get people to read your blog. tell lots of jokes and funny things! so i'll tell you that once my friend pudder was feeling down cause she was afraid that when she grew up she'd have no money and become a POPPER. (: not going to mention real names though. haha but here's a picture of the gorgeous spelling bee and me. chu i love you please smile for me(:

oh and mich if you're reading i wanna tell you that 2 years ago yesterday we went to queensway to buy shoes! and ate meatballs at IKEA! haha isnt that fun to know? remember JC and how it started? haha and i'll never forget us shooting crabs on rocks with bubble tea pearls at sentosa. that's my favourite (: i know u're a net gerr so here's a peecher of us!

anyway haha i have more friends ok. but i'll put them up another time. when there are good stories to tell! bleah today i found out i cant go for the oasis concert cos there's some stay over thing for SERVE which we can't miss. was gonna take my brothers for their birthdayss! so i made up for it by singing oasis songs the whole morning. trusty matt singing along. haha his enthusiasm for singing seems to be very infectious more and more people seem to be bursting out in random songs at random times. its kwite a nice thing if u imagine it actually. heh.

serve's pretty good. learning lots of new things! there was this lady who came to walk us thru the bible today. her name's dr mary tay and she's so cute and old! she has googly specs and is rather small. and she knows soooooooooo much but she's still so humble and nice about it. i like that. hoho. then my group went for lunch then joan and i went to town for awhile then met les and i went home cause i was crumbling under the weight of my bag. : well i'm kwite surviving at serve. there's lots of interesting people. judy and i have taken to naming everyone there. there's the pencil who's this guy who's really tall and skinny (like a pencil, hence the name), there's clark kent who REALLY looks like he has a secret life where he lifts cars at home for leisure. err then there's judy who is the cornflakes box cause her shoulders are soooooo bony and square. then there's spiderman and the chinese emperor who carries a blue fan with him wherever he goes and flicks it out at the most unexpected times. it's really very funny! haha i enjoy watching for the occassional fan openings! i know there's more but i cant remember really. on the whole its interesting and not too taxing just that it starts pretty early. so the rest of the day is sorta foggy. oh well.

okay its time for fruits. this is quite a long first entry haha. before i go, can i make an appeal to anyone reading this to pick up a feedback form at ANY starbucks outlet that you visit to request that TOFFEE NUT LATTE be put on the starbucks menu permanently. thanks! its really impt to me that our voices be heard people! hahaha. bye.

mushrooooooooom.
