just a short post before i'm off on hiatus for a while. :)

Christmas this year has been a very blessed one. :) received v practical presents from everyone. keep it up guys!! :) i do so love the song We Are The Reason by Avalon. but i can't seem to find any download links online! :(

i'm flying off tomorrow & there's lots that i haven't done yet! i need to change money, pack my bag, buy ziploc bags & eye drops. i hope i haven't left anything out.

sch's starting next week. 5 weeks sure flies by pretty fast! at least i got a 3 day week. i'm still debating if i should take electives though. but that means that my 3 day week will be gone. :( my biz law notes and readings are all up already?! the lecturers are fast! took a glance at the course outline & it seems pretty interesting. hope i'll enjoy it! :P only 1 day of sch next week. haha. i think i'll be going to SAV to check out the new sch. saw pictures of it online & i didn't really like it. it seems pretty cold somehow. i still prefer the welcoming atmosphere of SAJC at Malan Rd.

off to pack, pack & pack!

gosh... i'm super beat after Eucharistia! but all in all, it was super fun! due to the fact that quite a lot of my CG ppl couldn't make it, we ended up combining with TP's CG. there were 3 stations in all. It rained for a short while after the 1st station. but thank God that my grp happened to be under the shelter. :) i got to know the NTU peeps quite well during the whole event. most of them are really wacky!! haha. Anil was like totally crazy during the whole event. and he can't scream for nuts.. he'll 'zao sia'. hahah. we had to go swimming in the sea for the 2nd event. it was high tide then and so we took a longer time to swim out. we had to bring back cookies (dry ones) to the shore. the grp with the most number wins. after that, they made us send a rep from each grp to eat the cookies. i heard that 1 grp brought back like 9 cookies and out of that 9, more than half were wet. so it was like super duper salty! the penalty for the final game was damn funny. they had to cross their arms, pull their ears and say " There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ".. :P

we took lots of photos during the event.. will post them up once Amber sends them to me.. :)

most of us were like sooo tired after the event that we could barely stand up during the thanksgiving service after that. i like the 'bling bling' song... :) haha. ade ah.. u know the lyrics to it??? i forgot them already.

ohhhh... guess what? my team came in 3rd for the whole event!! :) NTU A rocks!!!! my CG ppl are like super fun to be with.. hahha. i <3 my CG!!!

off for 3rd service soon..... :)

Here Is Love

Here is love vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the Prince of Life,
Our ransom, shed for us
His precious blood
Who is love, will not remember
Who can cease to sing His praise?

He can never be forgotten
Throughout Heaven's eternal days
On the mount of crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates
Of God's mercy flowed a vast
And gracious tide.

Grace and love like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
And Heaven's peace
And perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Come kiss a guilty world in love

just got back from Oi! Sleeping Beauty



at the Drama Center. it was definitely a very entertaining play, one of the best that i've been to this year. There were lots of (expected) digs at Singapore. I especially loved the one whereby Singaporeans were seen as Singacorp robots. It's remicient of my JC lit text, Another Place.

"......an imposing creed
of perfection, the ruthless efficiency
of children become architects,engineers,
and planners whose eyes are trained
on visions of tomorrow,missing
these lowly ones who have weighed anchor
in the backwaters and will not stir.
The piling goes on upriver,hard fists
pummelling, ordering the future into shape."

Singaporeans are always rushing, working overtime, pushing and straining to earn more. But these are just ethereal. When it fades, there's a gaping void just begging to be plugged. We need to remember what was it that kept us going before. Not money, nor material objects, but rather, the love of something. Only when you do something you truly love will you be truly happy.

The 3 fairies were just hilarious! imagine 3 men cross dressing, what do u get? a barrel of laughs! I remember them singing some song about them being " happy & gay" (pun fully intended). there was lots of sly humour injected throughout the 2.5 hr show, some of them in Malay. Its too bad that I don't really understand the language though. The kids in the audience provided more laughs as well. This is because Oi! is a very interactive panto. The actors/actresses would ask the audience to join in periodically. In addition, the actors/actresses would come in from the side doors suddenly. I was sitting right beside the doors and i jumped in my seat each time they entered. Also, towards the end of the panto, half the actors/actresses were in the audience jumping and climbing over seats.

I was laughing so much till my sides ached. Special mention goes to Pam Oei,Selena Tan & the 3 fairies for being such entertaining entertainers. :P All in all, it was worth my $38. :) for those who haven't watched it, do go buy the tickets! you won't regret it!!

i really miss the stage sometimes.. esp after watching a play. all those memories just come flooding back. sec sch drama was the best!! i still remember the endless rehearsals we had in the LTs, walking out to buy pizza before rehearsals,irene's bear june (which was the butt of all our jokes),Victoria Theatre.. my very first stage performance, black lipstick(ewwww),makeup,dusty stage curtains,the dim backstage, gossiping together backstage in Victoria Theatre after our performance,waiting our turn in the wings,the memorising of lines,occasional performances on stage in school,the Maria Hertough Riots play,our props,dusty costumes,mimes,tableaux,scripts(writing & re-writing)........

CCHS(M)'s drama club was really like a family. a place where we would let our hair down on Fridays, esp after a long week in sch. I would go to macs with Jan,Toi Goon & Xin Ying after drama for a bite.. really miss those times... SA's drama club can never match up to the camaraderie that we had in CCHS(M)'s drama club.

i miss drama......

service was very good!! and my parents bought the new instrumental album released by my church called Still Waters. :) It's pretty good. haha. after service, i went to Marina Square's K-Box with Pam & Wai Shan. had a fun time there.. :) sang the 'sell house' song quite a few times. the food there was passable, but the only grouse i had was that they took a super long time to serve the food! :( the sound system was quite ok. and we got a plasma TV!!! :)

my thigh is like aching from bowling with Esther & Sean yesterday.. we played mahjong for abt 2 hrs and i got like 2 'zhi mo'! whee... hahaa. can't wait for HK. we are gonna have so much fun playing!!

and Pam & Samuel are gonna bring me on a shopping spree as a b-dae present. ;) i'll be nice and not spend too much. thanks so much!!! :)

i'm co-ordinating 03A31's gathering with becky... will send out the details to u guys soon. it'll probably be a potluck and it will be held at becky's place... errr.. but i'm not exactly sure where it is though.. haha.

went to K-Box yesterday with Sean. had to bribe him to go along with me. it was very expensive! no one to go K-Box with me. sad. Esther is in the midst of her exams, Pam is doing her internship & Wai Shan already made plans for the day. so i had to go with Sean. anyway, we were tickled by the 'gai dai foon hei' MTV with Twins & Nancy Sit. haha. u shd go watch it. :P

my Dec weekends are like totally full! but my weekdays are soooo free! i'm quite bored at home. was talking to Adelene just now, entertaining her till her 9pm show starts. haha. and we're going shopping on Thurs!!! yay! and it's Bible Study after that! :) K-Box with Pam & Wai Shan on sun!!! whee.... so exciting. :)

i'm still debating if i shd go for the christmas party @ Orchard on the 25th of Dec. doesn't seem like a lot of ppl will be going. Adelene told me that it wasn't really fun last year. so yeah. i'm still considering. can't wait for Eucharistia on the 17th of Dec!! bet it's gonna be fun!!

and triumvirs, here's what i found outside T1's Swensens when i went there yesterday.

haha... unless u guys wanna eat at T2's Swensens, start planning where u wanna eat at.

shd i dye + highlight my hair? wanna do so, but am worried that it'll dry out my hair. hmm.. will probably go for brown + a red tinge.

anyway, was having supper with sean just now. the pizza tasted super disgusting. know why? sean put tomato puree on the pizza instead of pizza sauce. we thought that the cheese had gone bad or something. it was only upon closer examination of the pizza sauce bottle did we realise that my dad had actually put tomato puree into the bottle instead. yucks.. still can't get the taste out of my mouth.

got back from SITEX not too long ago. i'm bushed! sales is a very very very tiring job! for those who don't know, i was working for the company PLUTO. If you guys have never heard of it before, i don't really blame you. That's cause it's a local company and they only supply to corporate customers & to the goverment. Cause it's kinda low profile, it was really a challenge to sell the PCs. And that's not all. I don't get a basic pay, but only commision. which means that my pay is dependent on the amt of PCs that i sell. but it was a good experience on the whole. got to know quite a lot of ppl. :) haha. and sales really makes u do things that you won't normally do. you really work and go all out to pull customers over to your booth etc. i would go over with my colleagues to either the Dell or Compaq booth and poach ppl from there. While the customers were looking at the PCs there, we would just interupt them, asking if they needed PCs. then we would lead them over to our booth instead. :P the Dell ppl got kinda pissed off with us. but.... haha. survival of the fittest. also, we were selling Lord Of The Rings games. so i was like shouting and walking all over the place.. managed to sell 4 games. :) Esther said that i was irritating ppl. :P she was there, so she can testify to it. i kept repeating the same stuff over and over again. sounded a lot like a broken tape recorder. i wasn't really thinking abt what i was saying. Do you know that i actually asked ppl if they wanted a Dell PC/Lord Of The Rings PC when i was selling Pluto Intel PCs?!?!?! this is what happens when you don't think before you speak. i even called a lady 'Sir' instead of 'Mam'..

my colleagues were quite nice la. i know esther likes the 15 yr old guy.. haah. but he's kinda irritating at times. keeps saying that we're pimping and he likes to call ppl bitch. grrrrr..

i bought my 256Mb SD card for $28 & a pair of portable speakers for only $15.. ahaha. i got a special price cause i'm working there. here's a picture of the speakers.

can bring it to HK. ahaha. the quality is pretty gd! :)

okie. i'm off to sleep soon.. good night world. :)

and so yet another week has passed. time sure flies. managed to take my flu jab last night. thank God for it. my dad was calling up various clinics & even TTSH to check if they had the flu vaccine in stock, but to no avail. my mum suggested that i call up my cousin to check if her clinic had an additional flu vaccine to spare. :) aside from a sore arm, i feel perfectly fine today. :) work tomorrow at SITEX. will be out for the whole day. Old Navy part 1 has arrived in SG. :) yay! i think Old Navy part 2 is scheduled to arrive next week. Victoria's Secret is at Vpost USA right now, waiting to be processed. i think it should arrive in like 2 more weeks. also, i've placed an order for an AE wallet cause my current wallet is falling apart. i really must cut down on online shopping. i seem to have bought a lot of things in the space of 1 mth. :P

and Esther, i'm not handing over the photos. haha. that's y they're called blackmail photos. :P go figure. anyway, Grace is pretty insistent on sitting with u on the plane. tried to dissuade her but....

anyway, i'm supposed to register for next sem's subjects on the 30th of Dec! that's when i'm in HK! how???? sheesh. i'll have to stop my shopping halfway to go back to the hotel or some internet cafe to register. Also, this means that my exam results are gonna be out soon! the class schedule will be up on 8th Dec. hope that i'll get my 3 day week. :P i'm still debating if i should take an elective next sem cause it seems like my core modules are pretty heavy. Forensic Sci is not offered next sem either. i guess i'll probably take music or a language... let's see if it fits in nicely with my timetable. :P

34 more days to HK! :)

Attention Triumvirs!

A meeting of the triumvirs must be held
At Changi's Swensen's it shalt be
Objections Nay
Rejoicing yay!


haha... :)

and so.... the exams are over!

what have i been doing ever since i was liberated from the pressure of exams?? haha. plenty! been going out almost everyday. :P went for a K-Box session with Waishan on Thurs at Cineleisure before watching Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire. the movie was so-so only cause they cut out a lot of parts! :( i jumped in my seat a couple of times cause some parts were kinda freaky. K-Box was fun! :) the TWINS song was cute. :P can't wait to go again, this time with Pam included. :)

Friday was Grace's orientation at her kindergarden, which incidentally happens to be mine as well. The sch bus uncle still recognises my mum. haha. :) and his licence plate number still hasn't changed yet.. after all these years. My parents told me that after i came back from kindergarden on the 1st day, i told them abt the licence plate number. and guess what? it was the 1st prize for TOTO.. haha. but they didn't buy la.. so this time, Grace is going to kindergarden. wonder if the same thing will happen again. :P went to PS after that cause i wanted to take a look at the Little Match Girl's sale. All tops were going for $10 and bottoms for $15! unfortunately, most of them were Ms & Ls. :( and they all happened to be the designs that i liked! oh well, at least i can save more $$. My mum, aunt & cousin ended up buying instead of me. but at least i bought 3 bottles of nail polish and 1 peach yogurt mask from The Face Shop, so i didn't come back empty-handed. :) The nail polish was really cheap! $2.50 for 1 rather large bottle! the shades are nice as well! the silver shade was just what i was looking for to replace my old one. :)

and yes, i'm going out again later.. but this time for product training in preparation for my job next week. no shopping.. for now. :P i've drawn up a rough plan for HK.. can't wait to go!!!!!!!!!! :)

i'm tired of studying FM.. was talking to waishan last night and we concluded that our FM prof is quite lazy. He hasn't changed/reviewed his notes in eons! He just reuses them every sem. He also refuses to return the tests that we took to us cause he's afraid that we will pass it to other ppl. Then, he will have to come up with new questions again. He's probably more interested in his 'Food Junction' shares & his cat. and, waishan told me that her friend from another sem didn't have the Hamada Equation & CML in her notes! In fact, the Hamada Equation isn't even in the textbook! i really wonder how much of what is in the notes is goin to come out tomorrow. The MCQs are like super duper hard! it's damn depressing... the short answer questions are easier. can't wait for the darn exams to be over...

i've spent/going to spend a lot! just bought a pair of white peep toe heels online for $21. :P planning to buy a couple of tees from Aeropostale as well.. :) i love eBay!! :) oh.... i'm gonna 'cheong k' with waishan on thurs!! haha. we're going to the cineleisure one cause waishan says that the food there is nicer. let's hope that they'll have the songs that i want. :)

my former company msg-ed me yesterday asking me if i want to go back to work for them during the hols. more $$!! it's really God's grace. i was looking ard for a couple of jobs & even sent in my resume, but to no avail. but just when i gave up, God sent a job across my path. and i didn't even have to use my own effort to get it! looking back, my life has been full of blessings from God, just that i didn't notice. trust God and he'll come through for u! :)

and i like Josh Groban!!! :) his songs are darn nice!

Esther, u're lucky. Grace has decided to sit with Pamelia on the plane instead. :P

I'm left with Financial Management on Wed!!! whee... can't wait for the exams to end! and i've got a job @ SITEX next week! :) haha. so anyone who wants to buy computers, come look for me!!

er... guess it's back to studying now.. don't really have anything to blog abt.. haha. :)

P.S: Esther, u're in for a treat, Grace likes u & she wants to sit with u on the plane. hahahahaa. And, Grace wants to know when u're gonna pass Barney to her. ;)

Stats is over! i didn't finish my multiple regression question though. for the multiple choice questions, i ended up with lots of Cs & Es. Catherine told me that she just put all Cs. :P

now i'm left with Financial Management... and it's over!!! gonna go out with Wai Shan,Yvonne & Rebecca next Thurs! haha. but Wai Shan & I are probably gonna meet up earlier to go 'cheong k'. :P shopping here i come!! wait, gotta make sure that i save enough for HK in dec.. :P maybe i'll not even buy anything on Thurs.

Airport later.. treat from my dad at the Indonesian restaurant there. :)

2 papers down! 2 more to go...

AB105 is over!! yay! Stats tomorrow. :( i can't wait for it to be over. then i'll start on FM on sat. i've been procrastinating this whole week. been doing online window shopping instead. ;) i'm gonna start on lots of shows after the exams.

haha. heard that Flora's Big Adventurer will probably be rescheduled to air sometime in mid dec. :( was so looking forward to watching that. but at least her new movie will be coming out in dec. will probably watch it in HK or get the VCD there if it's out by then. :)

exams are gonna be over soon!!!!!!! :) :)

AA101 is over!!!! yeah! :) i'm glad that cash flow statement came out cause i'm better at it. gotta go down for OB & D later.. the exam hall was like a freezer yesterday. i think i'm gonna bring a thicker jacket to sch today. and... the most important thing! i must not drink water before the exam! halfway during the exam, i had a sudden urge to go to the toilet. but i didn't cause i was worried that i wouldn't be able to complete my paper. so i ended up controlling my bladder for like 1.5hrs... once the paper ended, i passed my stuff to Yvonne and dashed to the toilet straightaway... i was the 1st person there too!! :)

can't wait for the exams to end.... Great plans i have. :)

Free To Dance - Hillsongs

This song in my heart
This song in my soul
This song I was born to sing
It’s Your song of freedom
Now I’m free to dance again
I’ll sing in the darkness
I’ll laugh in the rain
Rejoice in Your love again
It’s Your song of freedom
Now I’m free to dance again

Your Spirit brings me liberty
Your breath of life has set me free
(REPEAT)

Jesus Your Love it lifts me high
Give me reason to run this race with joy
This song within me Lord
Will bless Your holy name
Jesus I’ll dance before Your throne
Bring this heavenly sound to You alone
This song within me Lord
Will bless Your holy name

Plugged Into: Miracle - Darlene Zschech

my 1st paper is on mon. i realised that the stress of exams coupled with the need to shop is weighing down on me. so guess what? i spent like quite a lot on Old Navy stuff. This is not good... i need to save up for HK! urgh. i bought like 2 V-Neck tees.. cause they were so cheap. USD$3.99 each. 1 Ribbed Turtleneck & 1 Layered Tee... but shopping seems theraputic somehow.. :) oh yeah, i bought Darlene's new CD,Change Your World & Norah Jones's Come Away With Me. i guess u can estimate how much i've spent lately.. i need to study! not shop online! can't wait for my ON Tweed Mini to come in the mail next week. :)

Plugged Into: In The Morning - Norah Jones

have decided to stay home from the airport today. spent my morning surfing the Old Navy website. they have lots of nice winter wear!!! haha. tempted to buy a nice peacoat from them. but Waishan told me that HK has like lots and lots of nicer stuff!! can't wait. :P ordered a canvas peacoat & a ribbed turtleneck from them instead. hope that the canvas peacoat won't go OOS. :) but even if it does, i can save my $$.

AA101 on mon! that's pretty fast. guess i'll study AA101 from now on. it's re-re-revising time. :P thanks to Waishan for helping me out for some Stats problems... :P don't forget our K-box session after the exams. and... mahjong anyone?? :P

shopping shopping shopping after the exams!!! :)

Plugged Into:What Am I To You? - Norah Jones

it's already wednesday! gosh. time flies.... 5 more days to my AA101 exam. i'm so tempted to hop onto 38 & go to the Expo for the Metro Warehouse Sales! i've been studying at the airport & i find that i can concentrate so much better there. I always get tempted to use the computer or sleep when i'm at home. it's abt 12.42 now... wondering if i shd go down today. but i know that if i don't go down, i will not get any work done. even as i'm typing this, i'm so tempted to catch some shut-eye. jazzy music has that effect on me. :)

7th Nov: AA101-Accounting 1
8th Nov: AB105-Organizational Behaviour & Design
11th Nov: AB103-Statistical Methods
16th Nov: AB102-Financial Management

hm... what shd i study later on..... maybe Stats. i still have 1 more chapter to go. i didn't manage to complete it that night. :( hm... or shd i read OB&D? i'm more familiar with the later chapters cause i had to read it for my project. the 1st few chapters seem like a fuzzy memory to me... anyway, i still have abt 2 days after my OB to study Stats. hm.... maybe i'll study OB today then.

i pray that i'll be able to remember all that i've studied for AA101.. esp how to draw up income statements,balance sheets & the statement of cash flows(indirect & direct)! God's grace is upon me & i believe that i'll be able to do it! :)

off to study now......

it's mugging week now. managed to finish reading my OB & D. yay!! quite a torturous & ardous process, but i managed to do it! :) i'm now trying to understand the complexities of Multiple Regression. i'm left with one chapter to go. Need to re-revise Acc also. probably will do so tomorrow. Stats shall & must be completed TONIGHT! exams are no fun. :(

was at the airport with Esther last sat & we had delicious Indonesian food @ the House Of Sundanese Food for lunch! at first glance, we thought that it was gonna be pretty pricey cause of the posh looking interior and all. but when we stepped up to look at the menu.. woah. it was pretty reasonable! the service was great as well. the waiter gave us a corner seat so that we could study (but of course we didn't... ) . I had chicken marinated with some sweet sauce & rice while Esther had curry chicken & rice. there was a free flow of dessert as well!! each of us spent only $8.30 [inclusive of drinks etc]. and we were sooooo full! :) it's so much better than Popeye's. :P

after lunch, we headed to the viewing gallery @ T2 to study.. everything was going well until this weird guy sat down next to Esther. ok. 1 seat away from Esther to be exact. He had a pair of binoculars in his hand and was behaving in a really funny manner. He seemed as if he wanted to talk to Esther. and Esther, being Esther, started squirming and all on the floor. haha.. that guy would get up from time to time to look at the planes, muttering to himself at the same time. then, he decided to change his seat and so, he sat behind me! Esther claims that he kept turning ard to look at us.. *shivers*. when i asked Esther if she wanted to leave, the guy started packing up as well.. Esther pretended that she wanted to look at something else before leaving. the truth is, she wanted to let the guy walk ahead of us so that we wouldn't bump into him or something.

it's really deja vu or something... this time last year, both Esther & I were at T2's Mac studying when this old man would come at 2pm sharp everyday to 'clean' the tables & sleep. we were sitting in the innermost booth then. he would come and drag all the standalone tables to a corner, clean it, lay out the brochures on it & go to sleep. there's something abt airports and weird men. or maybe it's just esther. haha. :P i dun meet weird characters when i go to the airport alone...

okie.. i'm back from sch! i just had to blog abt this.. :) i got back my Accounting 1 test and i got 73.5/100!!! praise God! i didn't expect to get this mark at all!! God is faithful & His grace will see us through! i still remember feeling quite despondent during & after the test. i told God :" Lord, I don't want to worry abt it anymore. I just want to cast it all to you & i believe that you'll come through for me. " His love & grace for us is just so amazing that it's hard to express it in words. :) It can only be evidenced through one's personal life & experience. :)


" And you clothed the lilies of the valley
You feed the birds in the sky
How much more you give to me
How much more your love for me
How much more your heart calls out to me
Just because you love me"

14th week of sch = last week of sch. i feel strangely estastic, but yet a feeling of dread is hanging over me. Exams are in approximately 2 weeks time. i forsee that the whole of next week will be spent at my usual haunt, mugging like there's no tomorrrow. i pray for God's grace to even just see me through my exams, that i'll be able to obtain the grades that i desire. I'll probably be hopping down to mug tomorrow. Need to catch up desperately for OB & D. the only chapters that i've read so far were those in conjuction with my project. i've laid out my holiday plan already. a little early i know, but at least it gives me something to look forward to. i've sent in my application for a holiday job yesterday & i hope that i'll get it. :)

i'm due in sch at 1230 for my AA101 tutorial. will be getting back my practice assignment. i don't really want to see the likes of it. :( now that lectures have ceased, i'm travelling to sch everyday for a 2hr tutorial before coming home. that effectively means that i travel for 3 hrs for a 2 hrs class. 2 more days of this before i start my study break. sometimes, i just wish that time would fly by faster for the days that i don't like & it would go by slowly for those that i do like. there just isn't enough hrs in a day for me to do the things that i want to do.

i've realised that LJ is a pretty fast avenue for me to sell off my stuff.. but it's pretty time-consuming as compared to FP. you win some, you lose some..

off to school now......

P.S: Debbie Teo Bee Tin, i hope u got some nice stuff for Esther & I from BKK... ;P

had a pretty fruitful study session with esther at our favourite studying place. :) it's been ages since i last went there with esther. the last time was probably during the As. the place has changed quite a bit, but not the ppl. It's nice to know that some things will never change. :) managed to complete my AA101 revision. praise God! :) now, i just need to keep revising to make sure that i'm able to remember everything that i've studied. was there from 11.30am-730pm... had Popeye's for lunch. yummy!!! i haven't had it for the longest time. i remember esther,pam & i swore off Popeye's after eating it in HK International Airport. S'pore Popeye's tastes much better!!

2 more weeks to the exams and I"M FREE!! can't wait. :) i'm left with Stats,OB[which i've read halfway.. ok. 1/4 to be exact] & FM. God, i pray that you'll continue to just guide me even as i study for the exams. by yr grace, all things are possible!! :)

and ade, don't worry so much abt the exams. i believe that you'll be able to complete studying. :) no more condemnation!!! God's grace will definitely abound in our lives cause we're His beloved! :)

so, jia you for the exams everyone!!! :)

waxing lyrical

it's been a while ever since i really wrote. acct seems to have stifled me greatly. i remember complaining about the endless essays that i had to write for div & lit. looking back now, i find that i actually miss it. writing is cathartic. it is an outlet through which i can vent my frustration, release & express my innermost thoughts and feelings. at times, i question myself. would i have been happier in the literary world instead of the financial world which i'm currently in now. the amount of stress tagged along with the financial world is unbearable at times. perhaps, this is what you would call reality. the truth is always harsh. that being said and done, i really miss lit now..the endless quotes that we had to understand & memorise, bouncy ding-dong doing her thing up in front of class, smith-y prancing ard in front of us & even miss d with all her phallic referrences in Anthony & Cleopatra.

life is just so different now. i can't say for certain that it is more exciting, but it has definitely changed me. for better or for worse, it's up to u to decide. but i'm glad that even through this transition period, my friends have been there for me. thanks esther for all the late night calls & 'counselling' that you gave. thanks pam for the shopping trips to help me destress. :) love u guys!!! :) [just thought that i would end off on a high note]

managed to finish Linear Regression!!! :) quite pleased with myself. spent the whole day studying.. just need to read up on Multiple Regression and i'll be set. :) i still dun really understand correlation though.. i'm gonna take a break now. no more studying for a while. i don't think i'll be able to concentrate as well. :P

been surfing the net & reading up on the various countries that i want to visit. :) i hope to visit Europe upon graduation.. which is like 2.5 years from now.. haha. a little early i know, but i need to save up! :) the whole place just seems so surreal & magical. very unlike our modern cosmopolitan Singapore. the architecture there is just so awesome. anyone want to go with me?? :P

time flies.. it's almost the end of yr 1,sem 1, which essentially means that i'm one step closer to embarking into the working world. i hope that i'll have more fun next sem... i think the modules that i'll be taking will be more interesting as well. no more STATS!! that's like a super huge plus point for me. :) may take french,forensic sci or music next sem as an elective. i hope that i'll get a 3 day week!!

back to the books again..... :(

finally finished UE2. :) must control myself & NOT start on any more shows. just 1 more mth... then it's all over! no more STATS! haha. i've 2 more stats projects due. i think it's super ridiculous to give us projects so close to the exams. i dun think it makes much sense to do so. the time spent on these projects can be used for studying instead! this week is the last week of lectures & next week is the last week of tutorials. after that, i have 1 week for studying before the exams begin on the 7th of Nov.

xuelin ah... after exams must get kennise & the rest to go 'cheong k' ok... i missed out on it the last time. :( haha.. miss u guys. :P and can collect the VCDs from u at the same time.. :)

studying time tonight... :( i'm quite worried that i won't be able to finish studying. but like what agnes said... no more condemnation!! God's grace will be more than sufficient for me. the exam qns will be on what i've studied! "let not your heart be troubled".. must continue to remember this. :)

esther & pam want to borrow UE from me... ahaha. it's like a fantastic show!!! haha. i told xuelin that i'm suffering from bo yin & ka yuen withdrawal symptoms.. :P she told me that she experienced the same thing the last time. :P

i want to go shopping!! i havent' been shopping ever since the JB trip during my recess week! that's very long! i've great plans for the holidays.. haah.. gonna meet up with lynette, maybe pris[our long overdue catch-up session],triumvirate outing,work,waishan for k-box.... haha. great plans i have.. :)

meeting esther mickey on sat to study at the airport. time to morph into a 'chao mugger'.

i've just finished the 10th disc of UE2!! my goodness. it's even better than UE 1!! thanks xuelin so much for the songs! :P haha. was planning to go to sleep last night. then i met xuelin online. and i was telling her abt UE2 and all. then she told me that disc 9 is very nice & had lots of scenes abt bo yin & ka yuen. so guess what? i was tempted by her to watch it before going to sleep.. :P haah. but it was damn nice!! i like the theme song of UE 2 much better than UE 1. UE 2's theme song sounds more mellow & not as hyper as UE 1. :)

AA101 lecture later.. gotta leave the house soon. exams in approx 3 weeks time. :(

I MUST NOT START ON ANY OTHER SHOWS AFTER UE 2!

i've received my Mark stuff!!! i'm a happy girl. :) the only downside was that the seller left out 1 bottle of the acne treatment that was meant for Pam. hopefully it'll get here soon. the shades that i bought were just right for me! price wise, it's easy on the pocket too!! :)

just finished watching UE. i love it!!! haha. after watching snippets of it, my brother says that he wants to become a forensic scientist in the future. :) very appropriate for him esp since he loves bio & chem. i asked him if he would consider being a coroner instead. his reply? a firm & resounding NO. the reason?? he claims that he can't stomach the possible stench & gruesome corpses that he may face thus resulting in him not being able to eat. to him, eating is very important.. those who know him will understand. :P i'm on the 2nd disc of UE 2 now. very addictive!! wai shan told me that i'll love flora lots after watching this show & it's true!! ahhaha. she wants to borrow it after the exams as well. :)

esther!!! thanks so much for yr cookies!! haha. even though they were a little on the salty side. :P yr so-called change in receipe didn't work out too well eh..:P but thanks for it anyway. :) wonder what the postman was thinking when he delivered it to my house. :)

studying time now...i'm trying to catch up on stats. doing my tutorial 8 now. :) yay!!

it's the begining of the 12th week of school. 3 more weeks to the exams. :( urgh. i seriously need to start catching up on my work. esp for stats... i wanna go shopping with Pam. but i can't find the time to go. :( i need new pants & i'm wondering if i should buy the nice jacket that i saw that day. but it's pricey though. and i've finally finished watching Revolving Doors Of Vengeance. :) totally love that show.. i cannot start on any shows until after my exams man. cannot get distracted anymore. maybe i'll remove my laptop from the room as well. it's equally distracting. i'm always so tempted to log on & surf the net instead of studying. now i understand why my parents didn't allow me to put the computer in my room last time.

gonna work during my hols. i think i'll need to apply @ the begining of Nov or something. just in case the O & A level ppl beat me to it. :P wanna work at the airport!!! see if i can get a job there this time. :)

it's good to take time off from the real world sometimes. was at the airport early this morning to study. went to my usual spot @ T1's viewing gallery. i love watching the planes take off & land. it feels so surreal somehow. it can probably be attributed to the fact that the airport's a place where ppl depart & arrive. i feel as if i'm stuck in btw the two.
" between departure & arrival, what is there? we are suspended in a space capsule,communications all dead"
it reminds me of the times that i spent there during the O & A level periods. the airport used to be my frequent haunt. ever since i entered uni, trips there have decreased greatly. maybe it's the distance, or maybe it's the stress from school. but whatever the case is, it's important to have a place for reflection, for solitude. where you can just sit there and let the silence wash over you. cleansing u from within, preparing you for the next challenge. even as i sit in semi-darkness, the morning sun streams through the glass panes illuminating my notes. the peace & calm that surrounds me is a welcoming change from the hustle of school.school has been rather hectic lately,esp since the exams are in approximately 4 weeks. i'll be glad when it's over.


- the viewing gallery @ 9.00am in the morning -

will update more tomorrow... :) hopefully with pictures....

King Of Heaven - New Creation Church

Who is there like you Lord
Clothed in strength and beauty
Marvellous so wonderful in deeds
You who calmed the tempest
You who made the blind see
Mighty is your hand to deliver me

King of Heaven
Exalted above all
My victory, my song
Great in majesty and glory
King of Heaven
You're worthy to be praised
All honour to your name
Jesus reign forevermore


just got back from Bible study.. wow.. what a great sermon it was today! am i ever glad that i decided to go for it. was contemplating on the train if i shd go cause i wanted to go home to sleep. God is good. received a great revelation today. that's y i say, God never fails. :) Believe in your heart, speak it out through your mouth & miracles will happen. :) God's presence was really evident in BS today esp when we were singing the song You are so faithful.

You Are So Faithful

Like the sun that rises every day
You are so faithful, Lord You are faithful
Like the rain that You send
And every breath that I breathe
You are so faithful, Lord

Like the rose that comes alive every spring
You are so faithful, Lord You are faithful
Like the life that You give
To every beat of my heart
You are so faithful, Lord

I see the cross and the price You had to pay
I see the blood that washed my sins away
And in the midst of a storm
Through the winds and the waves
You’ll still be faithful, You’ll still be faithful
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more
You’ll still be faithful, You’ll still be faithful, Lord

i'm in the NBS free access lab now. decided to skip stats lect today even though i was kinda early for sch. :P i dun really understand what he's talking abt anyway.i think i'll benefit more if i study it on my own. ade, we must get together to study for stats ya? haha. i've got another Accounting test next mon and it accounts for 15% of my final grade. gotta spend my weekend studying for this test. i haven't really been touching stats at all. was trying to catch up albeit unsuccessfully though. abt 5(?) more weeks to the exams.. :( i still have to complete my OB & D project for submission next week. if i'm not wrong, i still have another stats project coming up as well. busy busy busy!

i need and want to relax! must remember what Ps Prince said last sun during service. "let not your heart be troubled". God wants to bless us but he won't be able to do that unless we let HIM take care of our troubles. We can't use our own strength to do it. Only God can solve it for us. So rest easy in him and let him take care of it all. " for my burden is easy and my yoke is light" i've tried applying this in my life and i've found what Ps Prince said to be true! so to those out there who r worrying needlessly, cast all your cares onto God, for He cares for you. :)

bible study tomorrow! can't wait.... :) haha. more feeding of the Word.yay! i've come to love sundays cause it means that there's service. but yet, i kinda dread it cause it means that my weekends are coming to an end & sch is gonna start the next day. but, i've no cause for worry cause my God will see me through. :)

gonna go off for OB&D tutorial now...

bus 179 drivers drive too fast in NTU. i mean, here am i, trying to catch up on sleep and this bus is like going at 80,90(?)km/hr. the roads in NTU r narrow & winding. but the drivers still manage to drive at an amazingly fast speed. it doesn't help that the bus stops are in pretty near proximity to each other. so those on the bus are reduced to being shaken from side to side every min. also, it's either that the seat is tilted at an angle such that i keep sliding off or that my pants are just too smooth to stay on the seat. i'm betting that it's the former. yeah, so back to my story. i was half asleep when i felt myself slipping off the seat. next thing i knew, the bus jerked and i almost fell off. so i ended up having to clutch the pole in one hand and my bag in the other in my half-awake state. it's definitely not fun at all. :( and the funny part is that the drivers choose to drive faster ONLY when they're in NTU. before and after they are in NTU, they seem to be able to drive at a normal speed with no jerking at all! they choose to speed on narrow roads but not on wide roads. funny. i thought it should be the other way round. Singaporeans just love a challenge, don't they?

i'm supposed to be doing my resume & report for comm mgt, but i'm just too lazy to do so. procrastination again. *shakes head*. anw, i ended up being late for Financial Mgt again. reached sch at 9am. the seminar was like only 3/4 full. looks like most of them decided to slp in. am i ever glad that our project is turned in at last. i pon-ed stats tutorial after that cause i was just too tired. dropped in at Raffles Place to have lunch with Pam @ Shenton House before going back to slp. and yes, i didn't go for bible study today. haiz. wanted to go but just couldn't pull myself out of bed.

gd news! i think my net has been 'repaired' or something. i can use it at night! *cheers*. it was so hard trying to do projects @ night with yr friends when yr net is down!

i think wai shan has like ESP or something. she seems to know exactly what shows i have when i didn't even tell her. just last night she msg-ed me asking to borrow 美喂情緣! haha. oh well... :P

4 more weeks to the dreaded exams.. :( i was talking to Catherine on my way back just now and she was telling me horror stories abt da-paoing..:( apparently stats has the highest da-pao rate of 30%, followed by acc 1,15% and lastly financial mgt! my stats is pretty bad. it's kinda my fault cause i haven't been doing my tutorials and stuff. gotta play catch up which is so not fun. :( but by the grace of God, i'll not da-pao any subs. amen! :)

ade,u didn't go for CG too!! haha. thought you would go lor. anw, sorry tt i didn't pick up yr call just now. was sleeping so missed it. :P

xuelin! i wanna borrow da chang jin from u. i reserve first hor. u can pass to me after exams. :P

shucks... i'm still awake at like 11.46pm. and i have a seminar at 8.30am tomorrow. which means that i need to wake up at like 6.30am tomorrow! how?!?! i'm still rushing out my FM project which needs to be handed up tomorrow!! :( all of us are busy calculating IRRs & probabilities. Let's pray that its correct. so many figures, so many rules & so many things to do! urgh.. busy busy busy!

OB & D presentation is over! yay! but i still have to do the project. need to hand up by week 11. 2 more weeks to go. this week is gonna be very busy! got a resume & a report to do for AB114: Comm Mgt. need to study for AA101 test in week 11 as well. so many things to do!!! and got to revise stats. i'm still quite clueless abt it. this is not good...

oh well,back to my project again....

P.S: Pam, u only gave me till epi 13.

i want the holidays to come again!!! yes! again!! 9th week of sch, but i feel as if i haven't done anything really productive yet. need to get back into the studying mode desperately! exams are in like 5 weeks time... boo. :( still got presentation tomorrow & a project to hand up on fri!

Pam!! i want my jao dim fung wan.. it's getting better & better!!! totally dislike Chloe. can't stand her behaviour. wonder y ah kit can't see through her. esp dislike it when she calls ah kit 'sum biu kor'. sounds so disgusting.. eeeee. anw, she gets her just deserts @ the end. haha. :)

i got an A for my Acc project!!!! praise God!! :) i was expecting a C or D, but God really came through!! :) i'm so happy now. :P still have a few more projects to go. in my 9th week of sch already. abt 5 more weeks to go before the exams. can't wait for holidays to come!! meanwhile, its studying time. :(

Ade, i finally saw u today after more than 1 week!! :) missed ya. anw, must let me know if u're going for CG or Bible study k. maybe we can get together to study before going for either one of them on fri k. this time, don't say i didn't 'jio' u. :P


"You're worthy to be praised, so wonderful, my King Of Glory, holy is your name, Mighty God, you have saved me"

got back from my cousin's wedding at abt 11.30pm last night. it was held at the Laguna National Country Club. food was decent, but not that fantastic though. :( was feeling quite zonked cause i was out since morning. had service in the morning and it was fantastic!! God's arrangement for JC was just so perfect and it was amazing how everything just fell into place so nicely as illustrated by Ps Prince through the tabernacle layout. :) anw, i'm supposed to be at Acc 1 lect now but i decided not to go to sch as i'm still recovering. we spent half the time disturbing my niece & were rewarded with lots of funny reactions.. haha.

pictures below!!

WARNING : there are lots of them, so don't say i didn't warn you. :P


- Grace -


- Grace again -


-Bernard & Sean.. don't they look alike?? :P -


- Grace & Michelle -


- Striking a pose for the camera, though albeit reluctantly -


- Smile!! -


- Laughing uproariously -


- Bernard looking as if he wants to beat someone up -


- hm... should i take a picture with her?? -


- hey... stop it. i said stop it!! -


- my eyes can be big when i want them to -


- an attempt at a smile -


- what? not happy ah?? -


- where are my eyes?? -


- whatever.. i'm bored -


- anticipating the next move -


- dawn & grace -


- joy looking super bored.... -

sheesh. i've got the flu. :( and tomorrow's my cousin's wedding! nvm, God will see me through. :) can't go for karaoke today with kennise,xuelin & the rest.. haiz. and kennise told me that they were planning to have a mini celebration for jas cause her b-dae's on the 24th[i think]. oh well..... will see them all next time then..

i dun feel like doing anything at all man. the medicine's making me perspire a lot, so i'm like super sticky.. :( sch's starting on mon again. recess week sure has gone by very fast. i haven't really done anything much this week. and i checked the grader's report for presentation topic 2 and 2 groups failed! goodness. nvm, by God's grace, my group will do well! :) i really can't wait for the sem to be over. i think i've abt 6? more weeks of sch before the exams begin. need to do catching up esp for Stats! i still can't get back to the same studying mood i had during the As last year. i just keep procrastinating the whole time and look what has happened! my work is piling up sky high!!!! Ade ah, you gotta motivate me to study man. and, you didn't tell me if u were going for bible study last night!! anw, bible study was good. :) Ps Lawrence preached last night cause Ps Prince was away.. i dun think i'll be going for campus later though cause i need to rest.

shd i watch Oei! Sleeping Beauty?? it's like $30++.. and i need to save up for HK. how??? esther & pam, do let me know if u guys are interested in watching k...

and grace, u're leaving on Mon right?? have a safe trip to the UK!! don't forget to send me photos hor... u promised me at the last class gathering. :)

I'm a new creation, no more in condemnation, here in the grace of God i stand

it's a miracle!! it's already 10 and my internet is still working! :) usually, the net would be crawling at this time & i would be frantically searching for potential networks to leech on to, only to get kicked off 5-10 mins later. :(

anw, my HK trip's confirmed!! yay! i'll be going with Esther,Pam & my cousin,my niece & her boyfriend!! it's gonna be sooooo fun! New Year in HK! i can't wait to see the fireworks at Victoria Harbour.. i'm sure it'll be extremely beautiful! the cool weather makes it all the more enchanting & perfect. :) i've gotta start saving up for the trip. no more frivalous online spending from now on! I'm sure that i'll be able to get better & nicer stuff in HK. esp since i've been pretty disappointed with my recent purchases online.

i've this penchant for travelling. somehow i feel that travelling is so magical & exotic. it allows you to escape from yr troubles & worries and be transported to another land. i've this aim to travel out of the country every year. Israel is next on my list. imagine walking where Jesus walked & seeing where he lived. words can't even begin to describe it.

it's already the 2nd day of my holiday week and i haven't even began studying! most of my time was spent watching Revolving Doors Of Vengeance[RDOV}. It's every bit as good as the reviews said it was. I've finished 10 episodes in 2 days and i'm waiting eagerly for more. Joe is like so hot in the show! right Xuelin?? :P

Jesus My Lord My Life - New Creation Church

You take my hand
And lead me to Your side
Your warm embrace
Sets my heart on fire
You are my shelter
God of all wonders
You are the hero of my life

I live for You
The Saviour of my life
Your love for me
Is wider than the skies
You are my shelter
God of all wonders
You are the hero of my life

chorus:
You came for me
Your life for mine
When I couldn't save myself
You bore my pain
My sin my shame
Jesus my Lord my life

just back from service.. :) feeling quite tired cause i only got like 5 hrs of sleep! hols are here again. but i've lots to catch up on. esp for Stats & OB.. my FM & Acc 1 is quite ok, so not much to worry abt. :) here's my 'timetable' for the hols:

Mon: FM Project Meeting
Tues: free!
Wed: free!
Thurs: Malaysia!
Fri: OB & D!!
Sat:Outing with the gang.. :P
Sun: Cousin's wedding..

now. that doesn't leave much time for studying..... looks like i've gotta really plan and manage my time properly! looks like my HK trip at the end of the year is pretty much confirmed! but i'll be leaving on the 28th & coming back on the 1st.. New Year in HK. what fun.. :) fireworks galore!!! at least i've something to look forward to besides the exams. can't wait for sch to be over. it isn't as fun as i thought it would be. why must there be so many projects???? urgh.

holidays are here again! i've survived 7 weeks of school! :) decided to skip CG today cause Ade decided not to go. it ended up with all the yr 1s skipping CG. whoops.. hope that there wasn't that bad a turnout today. :P since i left sch early, i decided to head down to the NATAS fair at Suntec with Pam to check out the fares for HK. looks like HK's gonna be super crowded this yr cause of Disneyland. Am i ever glad that i decided not to go to Disneyland this year. :) now i won't have to queue up 3 hrs just to take a ride. haha. that time can be put to better use for other things. such as shopping. :P hopefully Jiun Pey will consent to going with us so that we can qualify for the SQ promo.. otherwise we'll have to take Jetstar or UA. looking forward to the HK trip.. it'll be so much fun! haven't really hung out with JP since sec sch, save for the occasional call or trip to the movies. :) bet she's gonna go hunting for all the places that were featured in the HK serials. right JP?? ;)

anyway, i've just 2 more episodes of The Gateux Affairs to go before i can start watching my Revolving Doors Of Vengeance!! can't wait! my Joe,Ron & Kenix are all in there! have heard rave reviews about the show so i just can't wait to get started on it! :P

2 projects + JB trip + revision = holidays. what fun. :)

Take the quiz: "What MAKEUP store should you shop at?"

Mac
you spend a little much on makeup, but hey YOU GOTTA LOOK GREAT

wow... it's gonna be the 7th week of sch already!! can't believe that time could actually go by sooooo fast! it's gd in a sense cause it means that sch will be over soon. but yet, there are the dreaded exams to content with. :( i'm supposed to do a critique of Amy's & my presentation for Comm Mgt.. but i haven't gotten ard to doing it yet cause i'm kinda lazy to do so. :P my FM prof decided to give us an extra 2 weeks to do our project, for which i'm extremely thankful. :) 2 tests & 2 projects. that pretty much sums up the week ahead.

bible study & service was great this week as usual. :) had a nice chat with Adelene before bible study started. she was telling me how some ppl were commenting that New Creation ppl can go to church like 3-4 times a week. well, my stand on this is that the New Creation ppl hunger & thirst for the Word of God. i'm sure that it's the same for the other churches as well. :) but if truth be told, we do have quite a lot of activities each week. midweek Bible Study on Thurs & Fri, Campus on Sat [if there's no CG on Fri] & service on Sun. however, i find that with each service, a new revelation, a new truth is always revealed to me. i have never felt more refreshed than i ever did. it's always a joy to find out more abt God and his promises to us. speaking of which, i can't wait for service again next week!! :) Ps Prince will not be preaching, but we'll have a guest speaker from Hillsong Australia!! :)


Trading My Sorrow - Darrell Evans

I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

Chorus:
And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
And his joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

i forsee that the whole of next week is gonna be GONE! i've like 3 projects to do & 2 quizzes to take. :(i'm doing research for my financial management project even as i'm typing this. [taking a break now] i thought that i could finally take it easy for a while. esp since i just turned in my accounting project not long ago... but nooooo.. i am still as busy as ever. :( heeeeelp!

i'm supposed to be analysing structured deposits now. the digits on the paper has turned into a swirl of numbers. round and round they go... sheesh. i'm not making any sense now, am i? now,someone just remind me.. Why, oh why, was i so eager for school to start?

just wanted to add in this photo that was taken at the last 03A31 class gathering.. :) oh.. how i miss all of them.. wish i could go back to my JC days... :)


-grace,charlotte, me & esther

God's grace is more than sufficient for us. Before today, i didn't really comprehend what was really God's grace. I mean, i've heard testimonies from and of other ppl who testified about God's grace in their lives. To them, God answered their prayers. It was just a simple act of asking and believing. Even though Pastor Prince kept emphasizing that 'Right believing produces right living', it was quite hard for me to believe that it is actually so simple.

I had an accounting project presentation today and everything was prepared already. But abt 1 hr before my presentation, one of my tutorial grp mates told us that one of our points in the report is wrong. It so happens that that particular point was the one which i was supposed to present on. My grp members and I started panicking & we tried furiously to come up with a 'new' point so as to cover up our 'mistake'. I was quite worried as this project would account for 17% of my final grade. thank God that he reminded me through Adelene to trust in Him and that He will never fail me. So i prayed that God would guide me through even as i did my presentation. Everything went smoothly and during the 'Q & A' session, every member of my grp had questions thrown at them except me. So what was perceived to be wrong was actually correct in a sense. my fears were unfounded. :) God came through for me & i just want to thank Him for even reminding me that He's there for me all the time. :)

"Jesus, I can't help but want you more
The more and more I see
Your goodness unto me
I fall in love with you
More and more"

argh... i'm like super fed up with my comp! my stuff that i uploaded from my camera to Iphoto got moved to another location on the comp. up to now, i still cannot figure out where it has disappeared to!! Spotlight isn't any use either!! grrrrr.. my beloved pictures!!!! :(

i still wanna go HK.. wahhaha.. just that i'm looking for another person to join the 3 of us. unless of course, CX comes up with a better promo than SQ which doesn't require 4 ppl to travel in & out of SG together. :P shopping.. here i come AGAIN!!! i want to buy boots!! it's so much cheaper and nicer over there.

2 more weeks to my recess week. can't wait for it! i need a break desperately. after my recess week, i think my term will go by very fast. only 3 more weeks of lessons before we break to study for exams... :) The HTML for my site is still screwed up. i checked and found nothing wrong with the codes, so i guess it's just blogspot's problem. hope they'll solve it soon.

i need to earn $$ fast!! any gd suggestions??

people are thankless.. never expect anything in return cause you'll not get anything. some ppl are just plain selfish.

love this pix.. everyone's smiling! including me.. haha... :P

sheesh.. i'm just damn pissed with someone. hello... i'm like doing you a favour you know? you wouldn't even get yr stuff if i decided not to help you. anyway, you're the only one complaining abt it. it's not like i wasn't affected. i'm a victim too ok..urgh... the nerve of some ppl who have the audacity to complain and grumble over such a minor issue. i don't get y they have to blow the whole matter out of proportion when it's just a minor issue! some ppl are just too free... *bleah* from now on, i shall just mind my own business. HUH!

anyway, time sure flies by pretty quickly. the 5th week of school is already over! my financial management prof seemed to be in a pretty bad mood today. Yvonne & I were speculating if it was due to the fact that he lost $$ on the stock market the previous day. His hair was all dishevelled and he looked like he slept in his clothes and forgot to change... haha.. he was very irritated with the seminar ppl cause we couldn't calcuate the PV,FV and LTM of the bonds fast enough. He claims that we shd be able to do so in like 30sec. He seemed to be implying that we were stupid cause we took so long to calculate the value of the bonds.. :( oh well...

Stats is like super horrible. i'm quite lost now. i think i better start devoting more time to it. during stats tutorial today, i spent half the time surfing the net and the other half doing my financial managment tutorial.. yep, all done in front of my stats tutor. haa. the whole class totally didn't understand him at all. it seemed like he was talking to himself. :P

so far, the modules which i'm most interested in is Accounting 1 and Financial Managment. haha..OB is mainly common sense.. Comm Management is like super embarassing... i dun even want to talk abt it. my presentation for Acc 1 is next tues. praying damn hard that it'll be ok. esp so cause i'm not even sure if what i wrote for SIA is true.

Projects!?!?!?! argh.... i never knew projects could take up so much of my time. these few days i've been spending practically all my time in sch man. 10.30am-7.30pm.. :( i'll be glad when i finally hand in my written report tomorrow. but then again. i'll still have to do my presentation next week...that's another hurdle to cross. if i'm not wrong, this will be the only project i'll have to do for AA101. yay! :) it accounts for like 17% of my final score, so i pray that i'll do well. :)

ok... i think i'll go to Tampines later to buy a laptop carrier once i'm done with my written report.. hopefully soon.

i look like a panda now.. *bleah* :(

online shopping sure is addictive. however, the disappointment that i've faced upon arrival of my purchases has put me off quite a bit. pictures are deceiving. the clothes do not look as good as they do online. :( i'm gonna swear off online shopping from now on. i see no point in buying something that just looks gd online but not on me. at least i've another avenue to which i can sell them off. that's some consolation in itself. ;) i desperately need new clothes. even though my closet is chocked full of clothes, i seem to be wearing the same stuff almost every week! i wanna go HK again to buy new clothes and more accessories! a short day trip to JB wouldn't hurt either. :P well, my main aim now is to sell off my purchases online before embarking on my shopping spree again. :P

whoops.. dinner beckons.. updates later.. :P

woah.. the past weekend has been one hectic one. but it sure was satisfying. those close to me would know what i mean. :P anyway, i got to meet Jessica & Roger.. haha... :) right xuelin?? ;) Here are some pictures for u guys to enjoy.



me & Jessica



group photo


i'm into my 4th week of sch already. time sure flies.. that Esther still hasn't started sch yet!! oh well... i'm still thinking if i shd go to HK at the end of the year. Pam is extremely keen, but the problem is that it'll be kinda tight for both Esther & I . don't wanna disappoint Pam but yet i've to ensure that it can fit into my schedule.

Oh... i got my Ibook on MON!! haha.. finally.. :) i'm still learning how to use it though. it's been quite smooth sailing so far, save for the fact that my wireless connection hasn't been set up yet. so i'm leeching off my neighbours internet connection. :P wonder if they know abt it..:P

i've got an OB & D presentation tomorrow! and Accounting 1 written report to be handed up by next week!!! sheesh. i just hate projects and presentations...

gotta catch up on ALL my subjects.. so tata for now....

currently having a break in btw lessons, so decided to hop down to the NBS free access lab to surf the net with Yvonne. jeez.. the keyboard seems really dusty even though i bet lots of ppl use it everyday. not only that, there seems to be a lack of air conditioning in the lab! *fans myself*

sch's getting more and more hectic with each passing week. even though the national holiday is just over, i can't wait for the next one to come! One thing abt uni is this, u really have got to be INDEPENDENT! :( it's already the 3rd week of sch. if i'm not wrong, lessons will stop in the 13th week. after that, it's revision & exams! come to think of it, my uni life shd fly by quite quickly. dunno if that's a gd or bad thing.

my apple laptop hasn't arrived yet! it's already more than 5 days overdue! for every day that it's overdue, they have to pay me 0.1& of the total laptop price. That's what they call "Liquidated Damages". so 8 Flags, if u dun want to pay me more, give me my laptop ASAP!!! ;)

i'm staying in sch till 6.30pm today.. all because of my OB lecture. i'm trying to while away the 2 hrs that i've to wait in the lab. hm... maybe i shall go on MSN to see if i can find anyone to talk to. getting kinda bored already. in fact, this whole post seems like i'm ranting to myself.

Dim Sum Dollies: Singapore's Most Wanted @ the Esplanade! :)



went to watch Dim Sum Dollies today with Pam & Esther. Esther was late so she missed the 1st half of the show.. :( too bad cause i felt that the 1st half had more substance in it. Lots of funny biting satire, poking fun at Singapore's various laws and national icons. I especially liked the part whereby being slim is considered taboo & being fat is considered 'in'. instead of 'Expressions', the 'gain-weight' centre was called 'Expansions'. Hossan Leong was fantastic in the various roles that he reprised. The NKF saga was also mentioned, only that they changed it to the NSB instead. haha.. Hollywood was not spared either, with Zhang Ziyi & Lucy Liu coming into the picture. Some of the memorable dialogue that went btw them are as follows:

Lucy Liu:"You can't even speak English!"
Zhang Ziyi:" The soup is too salty.."

Zhang Ziyi ( to Lucy Liu): "you're just a 2nd class citizen in yr country with no voice! [translated from mandarin to english]

Kudos to Selena Tan,Pam Oei,Emma Yong & Hossan Leong!! :) can't wait to see the next installment of the Dim Sum Dollies next year.

Meanwhile, i'll be ordering tickets to "Oi! Sleeping Beauty! The WAKE UP production".



Synopsis is as follows:

If Sleeping Beauty were to wake up in today’s Singapore, what would she find? What do a slimming centre, Three Fairy God Aunties, and the Merlion have to do with the twists and turns of her new story?

W!LD RICE’s deliciously wicked pantomime re-imagines the tale of the sleepy princess with such irreverence and so many sequins (!), you will never see Sleeping Beauty the same way again!

been 2 weeks since i last blogged.. was on a short hiatus due to the fact that sch has started. i'm already into my 2nd week of uni life and it's been quite smooth sailing so far. time really flies in uni, all the more so for me, as i've a 4 day week. :P i'm still settling down and trying to get used to the new system. in uni, we've really got to be independent. no more teachers running after you to tell u what to do, where to get yr lect notes etc. everything is just posted up on edveNTUre. if u don't see it, then too bad.

i felt really lost on the 1st day of sch. imagine walking into a lecture theatre that sits like 1000 ppl. u don't know practically all of them. u're just one out of many. no assigned seating, no familiar faces and no fixed class! somehow, the safety net that we used to have has disappeared. it's at times like these when i really miss SA.

my lecturers are one quirky lot. i've got an indian stats lect who has a really strong indian accent. half the time is spent trying to understand him, while the other half is spent trying not to doze off. his voice seems to have this hypnotic effect that puts ppl to sleep. most of my seniors have told me that they only go for the 1st and the last lect. the last lect is impt as exam tips would be given.. i forsee that there will be a pretty empty lect theatre this week for stats. :P

most of my lessons run consecutively, so i don't have time for lunch. i either end up skipping it or i just sneak some munchies into the LT. i can't wait for hols again, even though i've just had a 8 mth break. :P my readings for accounting 1 alone are like 100 pages per lecture! i can't imagine how the others will be like!! *shudders*

sch's starting on mon.. wonder how it'll be like. A whole new environment, a whole new class & new subjects to look forward to. I can't wait to get my laptop in like 2 weeks time! I placed an order for it today. The laptop i'm getting is the 14" Ibook! *drools* yippee! i'll finally have a computer to call my own! :) and i just love my timetable!!! i've a 4 day week! :)

Isn't God's love for us just amazing? Sometimes as Christians, we are just so caught up with everything around us that we forget abt his wonderful love for us. To receive his blessing, we need to remember & confess his love for us. :)



I feel so blessed that i've such a wonderful God!! :) can't wait for service this week!!

I've an NTU retreat next sat. hopefully i'll be able to make it. Gotta see if i can change my tuition time. :) I'll be able to meet the rest of the NCC NTU peeps! Sch's starting on Mon! & i've got a wonderful 4 day week! Praise God! and the best part?? i'll only be taking econs in sem 2!!!! :)

"God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!"

came across this on flowerpod.. damn funny. :P

Last Day Of Work @ SCS!

well well.. it's finally my last day of work.. After that, i can finally slack!! :) David tried to be funny by saying that the company wanted to extend my contract by 1 more week. At this rate, i'll still be working by the time school starts! Working at SCS has been pretty enjoyable & i don't really have any complains abt it. Good pay, good location,good treatment & light work.. what more can u ask for?? i'll try to post up the pictures that i took ASAP.. :) I'll definitely miss the egg sandwich & chee cheong fan from the canteen, not to mention all my colleagues! 1 more hr before i step out of the office. I haven't been doing anything much.. just waiting to go home. :)

I'll be going to JB with Pam & Esther on Mon. Can't wait!! i wanna 'cheong k' at NEWAY!! Don't think there are any gd movies so guess we'll skip it altogether. I hope that FOS will have gd stuff.. haha.. i've been spending so much on online shopping that it's frightening.;) I think the amt of clothes that i have has doubled as compared to last year. This is not good. How am i gonna save up for my HK trip????

Since i'll be quite free till school starts, i wanna embark on my HK show craze again.. :) i'm super tempted to go down to the rental shop later to rent Feminine Masculinity & Side Beat. But if i'm not wrong, xuelin has them.. haha. will ask her if i can borrow it when she comes back from HK. :) meanwhile, let me choose from the list of shows i have on hand.
-Healing Hands
-Angels Of Mission
-The Academy
-Hard Fate
-The Prince's Shadow
etc..... lots more that i can't remember!

Jiun Pey!!!! don't forget to get Minutes Of Fame from yr sister k?? I wanna watch it! and thanks so much for helping me buy stuff from HK! :)

okie... gotta pack up my stuff.. updates soon. :)

well well, my contract has officially been extended. My last day of work will be on friday,8th of July. more $$ for me.. :) i took half day off today to go shopping with Esther & to go get my contact lenses.. We met BB Yoong at Orchard. chatted with him for awhile. Found out that he was actually shopping at ZARA for a pair of pants. It was pretty amusing, come to think of it. The Liat Towers ZARA didn't have the pair that he wanted, so he was heading down to the Takashimaya outlet when he bumped into us. His eyes lighted up when we told him abt the free shuttle to Great World City from Orchard.. [fyi: there's a ZARA outlet @ Great World]. haha. didn't know that he actually shopped! :P

i bought myself a pair of MNG capris + a white halter from TOPSHOP. i saw a super nice vintage skirt at TOPSHOP. i was sooooo tempted to buy it, but what held me back was the exorbitant pricetag. It costs $73!!!! argh... hope that they'll have it on sale the next time round..

i totally hate shopping during sales now. It's so crowded. :( The MNG,ZARA & Topshop outlets all have super bright lights which makes it pretty hot. To top it off, we actually have to fight our way thru throngs of ppl to get the stuff we want. When we finally emerged from the shop, we were pretty sweaty.. Bright lights + many ppl = BIG headache!! I think i'll just stick to online shopping from now on. At least i know that what i get won't be the same as everyone else!

i'm damn bored!!!!!!!!! so what's a girl to do when she's bored? She blogs!! haha. ok.. that's was so unfunny(as esther mickey would say). but seriously... i can't wait for my job to end!!!! i'm doing filing right now, & seriously, it's not that much. i'm just surfing the net & counting down to 6pm right now. ~yawn~

my contact lenses tore!!! can't believe this happened! grrrr.. now i've to fork out another $150 for a new pair! gonna go down on friday to make a new pair. :( jeez... i really wonder what has happened to all my $$. It just seems to disappear all of a sudden. This is not good. I blew like $100 yesterday while out shopping with esther. ok, so $20 went to medical & $10 for transport, but it still counts! all my hard-earned money!!!!!!! I have to spend 2 days in the office surfing the net before i can get $100!!!! & it's just gone. just like that.

anw, Esther's gonna be a great psychologist next time. She's gonna have this new type of treatment called "chew-techno". haha. it involves the complicated method of spicing up christian hymns so that they sound more like techno music. Also, the distinguishing factor of "chew-techno" has got to be the cat-like screech that only Esther can produce. wahahahaha.. i think i'm gonna get it from her when she sees this. But.. esther, u must think long term! I'm helping you to publisize it so that you'll get more patients in the future! :)

I'm bored! blogging will be no more. time to rot.

whoopie.. i've finally found the song i wanted! We were singing it in church a couple of weeks back.. Found it very nice, but i didn't know the title. anw, here it is....

Exalt His Name Together

At all times I will bless Him; His praise will be in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord. The humble man will hear of Him;
The afflicted will be glad, And join with me to magnify the Lord.

*Let us exalt His name together forever, I sought the Lord;
He heard me and delivered me from my fears.
Let us exalt His name together, forever,
Oh sing His praises,magnify the Lord.

The angel of the Lord encamps,Round those who fear His name
To save them and deliver them from harm.Though lions roar with hunger
We lack for no good thing.No wonder then, we praise Him with our song

*Let us exalt His name together forever, I sought the Lord;
He heard me and delivered me from my fears.
Let us exalt His name together, forever,
Oh sing His praises,magnify the Lord.

Come,children, now and hear me if you would see long life
Just keep your lips from wickedness and lies.Do good and turn from evil
Seek peace instead of strife. Love righteousness and God will hear your cry

*Let us exalt His name together forever, I sought the Lord;
He heard me and delivered me from my fears.
Let us exalt His name together, forever,
Oh sing His praises,magnify the Lord.

just love God's presence more & more each day. :) For he is good & his love endures forever.. He has done so much for me, without me even asking for it. His grace is evident in my life.. :)

"Jesus, i can't help but love you more.....The more & more I see, how much i mean to you.."

ah.... it's OVER!! shit la. i think i played horribly. :( everything was done so hurriedly that i didn't even realise what was really going on. oh well... leave it to God to decide la.. whatever.

anw, i'm going for medical tomorrow & after that, i'm going SHOPPING with Esther!!! whoopie! hope that she will bring the stuff that she bought for me in Thailand. :) 3 more days till the end of work. Time to rest & relax! wahahaha...:) i haven't really been doing much these few days, so no updates. See how boring & mundane my life has been recently??? nvm.. it's gonna be very happening soon. When school starts...... :P

Off to watch TV now....:)

Psalms 91 - New Creation

I will dwell in the secret place
Of the Most High
I will stay in the shadow of your wings
For Lord you are my refuge
My tower of strength
My hope is in you
Secure I stand

Chorus:

You will deliver me
Your truth will be my shield
Jesus you cover me with your love
No fear will prevail
(repeat)

Bridge:

No evil, no terror,no arrow, no plague
Shall ever come near me
For you are my safety
My hiding place
Jesus I trust in you

jeez.. music auditions are this coming sunday. i'm kinda worried that i won't be able to play up to their standards. Contemporary is so different from classical! God give me strength!! well, i'll just do my best & see how it goes. :)

i've gotten a Creative Muvo instead of the Zen Micro. both have the same functions, but yet the price difference is like $100!! the battery life is pretty gd. i've been listening to it for like 3 days & the battery is still going strong.

Can't wait to go for CG. :) heard from Adelene that they're all nice ppl. i'll be only be able to go once i've stopped working cause it's at Bukit Batok! CG starts at 6.30pm whereas i end work at 6.15pm. yeah.. so i'll go once i've stopped work. :)

Jiun Pey, don't forget to buy my stuff k.. :P haha. i'll be nice & lend u more shows. :)

I'm like super duper bored at work.. i'm sending crappy e-mails to Pam & Esther Mickey. haha. i need someone to entertain me. only 9 more days of work & it's resting time!!!! whoopie!

i'm at work now, deperately trying to look as busy as possible. my apologies for the lack of updates this past 2 weeks. life has just rushed past me in a blink of an eye. so many things to do, but yet, so little time. lots of deadlines to meet, so much so that i've lost track of them all. oh well, at least sch's starting soon. somehow, i feel that my brain has rusted without school. i seldom touch a book nowadays. in fact, i want to, but i don't have the time to do so! there just isn't enough hours in a day for me. my life seems to revolve around work now. my daily routine consists of sleeping,eating, work & more work. i've come to detest the computer ever since i realised that i would have to stare at the darn screen for practically half the day. last day of work's on 30th of June. i can't wait for that day to come even though it means that i'll have less money at my disposal. But I say, give me comfort over $$ any day!

i'll be away in mid july for a short holiday to malaysia before term starts. a well-deserved break for both body & soul . :P i've bought a Zen Micro instead of the Zen Neeon. the micro wins outs in terms out functionality & style, so the micro it shall be. :) also, i've decided not to stay in hall after all. i'm gonna endure the 1.5 hrs journey to sch everyday, with my micro for company. guess i shan't be too bored after all. :)

church has been fantastic as usual these past few weeks. i've come to realise the importance of letting go & placing all yr trust,worries,hopes & fear in God. I feel so much lighter & more relieved after that. :) God's love & grace is more than sufficent for us! cast all yr cares on him, for he cares for you....

"Let us exalt his name, together forever..."

hm.. shd i buy the Creative Zen Neeon? it looks good, feels good & best of all, the price is good. :) still have 2 more days to the end of the PC show. gotta decide by then if i wanna buy it. It's much much lighter than my old gargantuan CD player. plus, it has more functions too. it sure will come in handy if i wanna record lectures in uni. :P argh!! think think think think!

i'm like super bored at work. my supervivors say that i shd do my tasks more slowly. anw, i'm counting down to the time to which i can leave the office. 28 more mins to go.... :P wonder what i shd buy for dinner later. i'm having a slight sore throat, so it looks like fast food's out. hm... don't really feel like eating anyway.

esther's still in thailand.. no mickey to talk to me at night..:( anw, i'm going shopping this sun with Pam! i've so many things i wanna buy! my bank acc is screaming out in protest.. :P

just received a letter from SA informing me that my A Level cert's ready for collection. but unfortunately, i'll be working so i've to get my brother to collect it for me instead. 3 more weeks & 4 more days @ SCS! after which, it'll be slacking time for me!! & not a moment too soon. :)

Priscilla!! when r u free? we're supposed to meet up soon ya? still have to collect my stuff from u. :P btw, Ps Brian Houston from Hillsong Church is gonna preach this week. i'm sure that it'll be a great service! :)

& Denise!!! u too! have u contacted Irene yet? must find out when she's free as well. then we can go & makan together too. :) let me know k?

kk... better pretend to be doing some work just in case my boss comes in...

wow... i've been working at SCS for 2 mths already! time sure flies. :) just 1 more mth to go. i think i'll be pretty busy in july. what with the uni camps, matriculation & all. but it's just as well. i can't wait for sch to start. my brain feels as if it's rusting already. i need to start using my brains again! as i've said before, my present job is pretty mindless. all i've to do is to copy & paste stuff. no kick. hah :P

Pam just told me last night that she won't be going to Bangkok after all. haha. at least she won't spend so much now. :) but anw, i've made plans to go to JB with her & probably esther in July during her term break. need a break before uni starts. yeah, i know i've repeated this so many times. but seriously, it's like chanting a mantra in my head.. " take a break.. take a break.." :)

mickey's in thailand now. hope she buys back nice stuff for me. :) she's coming back next mon. i'll be working then so i can't pick her up at the airport... :(

anw, i just discovered a fabulous buy on Yahoo!. one of Theroux's books is going for only $3!!! it costs like $22(at least) in bookstores!! i'm so going to buy it~!

i'm happy again.. i've got nice books to keep me company ! :)

God Is In Control - Twila Paris

God is in Control
This is no time for fear
This I a time for faith and determination
Don’t lose the vision here
Carried away by the motion

Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him
We know, ohh, God is in control
Ohh, God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

Repeat chorus

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now
Why start to worry now
He is still the Lord of all we see
And he is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me

Watching over you
Watching over me
Watching over everything
Watching over you

Watching over me
Every little sparrow
Every little king
Ohh, every little king

Repeat chorus

goodness.. i'm so like super bored at work. i know it's a super slack job & all, but still, entering data into the system gets so routine & mundane after a while. esp since i've been doing it for almost 2 mths! Not even internet access & music helps! There's only so much surfing one can do on the internet. unless, i play games.. now that would be a different story. i'm tempted to start playing Neopets again. haah. kinda outgrew it eons ago. but since i'm soooo super bored, i may just consider playing it again. anw, i've lots of neopoints.. haha. can reopen my 'shop' in there. plus, i've lots of rare items.;) but i'm kinda out of touch already. haven't played for almost 4 yrs!

well, esther's having her tung ling graduation later. Pam,Debbie & I are going. too bad i forgot to bring my camera. otherwise i can take some photos of & for esther.. right esther? ;) haah.. private joke. anw, hope that it'll be interesting later on.

should i stay in hall a not? i was quite set on staying initially, but after hearing what most of my seniors & friends have to say abt it, i'm kinda wavering in my decision. the cons seem to outweigh the pros though. tough decision to make! can't wait for sch to start! hope that i'll get a gd timetable & that i'll only take econs in sem 2.

feeling kinda apprehensive abt uni. i've heard that one doesn't make that many close friends. sure, you'll have friends, but will they be as close as yr JC friends? after all, most of our classes are split so we'll probably meet diff ppl all the time. at least xin yi,cynthia & adelene are in my course. :) the whole uni modular system is like so super confusing. i still don't get it! i heard that NTU acct ppl are super muggers! i guess that's probably cause everyone's fighting to get honours. when i went for the tea session, one of the seniors told us that if we get a C in any of our modules, we'll not be eligible to graduate with first class honours! looks like every single grade is gonna count here. can't slack anymore & make up for it with last min work. :(

still have abt 5 more weeks before i stop working.. i'll be free in july! ~yay~ no more $$, but i'll have freedom! i've had enough of the working life already. after all, i'll get to start work earlier than my friends cause mine's a 3 yr course. most of their courses take 4 yrs to complete. hope that we'll all still keep in touch even though we are gonna end up in diff unis. Eunice's going to Uni of New South Wales to pursue a degree in law & lit. i sure will miss her. Esther's gonna go to SMU to be a smugger..haha. :P let's hope that both of us will get to go on exchange together ya?? :)

well, better get back to work before my boss comes in.. later.
