My Precious Gifts

2009-07-19T20:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday after service.

Had lunch at the Airport in Popeye. Best chicken in town! :D

Loving it. WHOO.

I’m craving for it again. Probably later for dinner.

Only 4 pictures, because we kept talking and she calls me her talking machine now -.-

& she said “because now i know, you’ve got my back, again.”

2009-07-19T20:32:00.001-07:00

Believe me, when I say,

BOREDOM KILLS.

School has been a great big bore and I’m really sleepy right now. Suffering from lack of sleep. Sigh.

Well, it’s supposedly lunch break now but we’re not released yet. & so I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF ON SATURDAY SO I’M GOING TO UPLOAD THE PICTURES NOW :D

Myself with the birthday girl!

New friend, Angel.

& another new friend, Gerald.

Left to right, Gerald, Ammar, Andrew and myself :D

Georgy’s cake. :D

How can I not have a picture taken with bestie? :D

Constipation take one.

Constipation take two.

If you can find me here...

& she said, ‘I’ll just have your picture in my hand, close to my heart.”

Nostalgia

2009-07-19T04:55:00.000-07:00

Well,

I’ve been feeling very nostalgic today. ALL THANKS TO JANICE ANG PEI YING LAH....

After service, we went to delight in Popeye’s. Haha. And then we started laughing at our past and how stupid we actually were a few years back. Oh those embarrassing moments..

I’ve pictures for yesterday’s party. Which also led to a lot of memories. I really miss those people. Haha.

So anyway I’m just gonna post up random pictures of the past. Pictures for last night and today will be up tomorrow. Or probably later.

& yes.. I really do miss kirk a lot too.

2008 CNY Skit Crew. Hell lotsa fun.

Samson’s chopstick legs..

With Ruben. I miss him a lot too. But sadly...

Him trying to prove that he is much taller than Sis & I.

Yunting trying to fix my hair (:

Oh how much I’ve changed..

Way back in 2007.

HAHAHAHA. This picture was dedicated to me. With Shilin saying ‘You’ and Yunting saying ‘Short’ HAHAHAHA.

The night life I used to enjoy.

Janice and I enjoying our time in Century Square’s toilet -.-

My favourite picture still.

Charissa Poh Seow Ling! It’s been ages since I last saw her.

OMG. THIS PICTURE MUST’VE BEEN FROM 2006 OR 2005.

During last year’s family shoot.

Damn, I miss my black nails now.

Chingay 2009.

Cordelia Yeo Shu Yi’s hair. And my eye.

HAHAHA. Last year’s national shoot with Andrew Kor the photographer.

My little darling.

2008 Graduation.

BEN POH!

All those mugging nights with Ben and Kirk.

Mugging at Parkway with Kirk. And our very rewarding ice cream. Obviously the white one’s mine. The brown and white is kirk. Brown + White = Light Brown = Kirk’s skin tone.

Anna’s bday last year. (:

They were laughing at Samson and I cause we looked like we were a couple. It was an absolute coincidence.

The current RP dudes =/

Yunting’s Bday.

The continued from Yunting’s Birthday.

Our ever fun P.E. lessons.

OF COURSE ARIEL DARLING AGAIN.

Late night supper with Sis.

During ever boring Science practical lessons. As you can see, I’m always seated at the back = shows how disinterested I am.

Prata with Kirk again.

Jamming with some dudes from class in secondary school in preparation for our club party.

Alrightee. This will end here. Harry Potter has just started. GOODBYE.

2009-07-16T07:12:00.001-07:00

I am tired.
I am struggling.
I am praying.
I am hoping.
I am believing.
I am hurt.
I am weak.
I am drained.
I am in pain.
I am giving up.
I am holding on.
But most importantly.

I am needing You.

2009-07-15T17:26:00.001-07:00

Lesson 1: Don’t pretend.
Lesson 2: Don’t act.
Lesson 3: Don’t lie.

I don’t like it at all.

I'm gonna miss you, Anna.

2009-06-19T06:59:00.000-07:00

Anna has left for msia. Leaving me here, all alone, in Singapore.

Anna is in Malacca. While Kirk is in Kuala Lumpur. CAN MY WEEKEND GET ANY MORE BORING!??!?!?!?!

Actually it isn't that bad, but it's just, I feel weird. Ok whatever.

School has been FUN.

Met up with Amirul almost every day, I realize. Hmm.

And, yesterday had lunch with Anna & Ellen because I'm not gonna see Anna for the next 3 days.

PICTURES.

Welcome the AH LIANZXZX of RP

Come next week, say byebye to Sony Ericsson and HELLO to LG Viewty :)

All three of us, Anna, Ellen & myself are getting the same phone! :) At different color of course!

ANYWAY

I've got my birthday present already! WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL.
First present from SISSY.
THANK YOU ABBY :D I LOVE IT AND REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Next up, gonna go get my present from mom&dad.
THEY ARE GETTING ME A DIAMOND RING. WHOOOOOOOOOO!

& she said, 'i can now rip that reflection..'

Let me sleep.

2009-06-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

Shadows on the wall

Forming outlines of your face

I reach out to touch you

Through time and through space

In my dreams, i'm always with you

So let me sleep

I dream that you're here with me

Lying by my side

This won't last forever

Let's catch the sands of time

I don't want ever to end

So let me sleep.

Cause in my dreams, I'm with you

I'll always be with you.

Let me sleep.

Let me sleep for a while, let me dream of your smile

In my dreams I'm with you.

I'll always be with you.

& she said, 'so let me sleep...'

2009-06-13T00:42:00.001-07:00

I am so bored right now, I have no idea what to do to kill time.

I know school is starting and all and apparently at this very moment, how I miss school. Being with the peeps & all.

Oh manzxzx, beats staying at home doing nothing right?

So like, I just created a Twitter account. Hahahahahaha!

I was bored! & also because Martin Smith has it. & I guess that's the only possible way I can check out what the band is doing after they split ):

Sigh....... Delirious?..........

& she said, 'before you hit the highway..........'

Mommy, it's over!

2009-06-12T08:17:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe this!

THE HOLIDAYS ARE ACTUALLY OVER!

2 weeks feels so darn short! So much to do in so little time! ):

Sad sad sad.

Ahh wells, but i'm glad I spent my holidays fruitfully.

But I didn't get to meet up with V ): I miss you bitch! I really do! ):

So I chilled out with Anna, Amirul and Chris-topher.

Anna, Amirul & I caught the movie..

Then Chris came over to join us in Plaza Sing.

& on THURSDAY.

Met up with Kirk the Jerk :D

I miss that old fella. Really, beyond anyone's imagination.

Think I've never laughed that hard in a long while.

Caught the movie Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 with Kirk and Sissy :)

Fun fun fun day.

Today,

went to Tampines 1 with Amirul.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MALL. I've set my eyes on so many things there. All I need is.. $$$$

Then went to church for the movie,

I fell in love with the movie. Probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. The storyline, it's really great. Recommended by Senior Pastor Khong though. And I'm soooo in love with it now.

& she said, 'i'm still waiting, aren't i?'

Darling Ariel

2009-06-07T20:41:00.000-07:00

Spent my Sunday morning with Victoria and Ariel :)

Wonderful and fruitful time. I missed the girls so much!

So like quite a few people texted me yesterday saying that I looked like their mother. Because I was holding both of them each in one hand. And I was carrying Ariel's Barney bag and holding their jackets and all. I guess I really do look like their mother.

But Aunty Sharon is really a great mom. I mean, from what I see. I hope to be more like her in the future.

And of course, my mom is the best :) Everybody's mom is the best to them. Haha.

Say hello to Ariel James Rui En.

Victoria James Rui Yi.

Together with Sissy..

My darling with me.

If only I had a time machine. I would fast forward my life right now to the time when I'm a mother. People say that when you're a mother, things changed, I mean that's for sure. We wouldn't have time to ourselves anymore and all that.

But I beg to differ. I think everythings' gonna be for the better. Having your own children, and all. It's really what I can't wait to have. When Ariel cried and ran into my arms, the feeling I had within me, was warmth and love that I had never experience before.

And then I think about my future husband...

& she said,

2009-06-07T05:11:00.000-07:00

So, Sentosa on Friday.

Had breakfast with family wayyy early in the morning.

Then head down to vivo city to meet Anna and Chris for their breakfast.

& then we shopped for groceries because obviously we don’t intend to go all the way to sentosa to buy a bottle of mineral water or drinks or chips (major rip off)

& we almost buy these....

Then we waited for like an hour before Shawal arrived.

& one thing that made me so excited to finally visit Sentosa, was the snakes! I was excited to greet snakes.

But when I was challenged to take pictures with them, I totally freaked out! I was screaming and I almost was led to tears. I was petrified. I really was. Perhaps now, my craze for snakes has gone down.

& she said, ‘rough weekend, please let me fly.’

I Call Your Name

2009-06-04T06:43:00.000-07:00

I call Your name,
Lord You reply,
You bring Your Kingdom
And stand by my side
Giver of life
All that I need
Father You're everything
That's precious to me
There is no one like You Lord,
In all of the earth.

HALLELUJAH.

Thank God for beaches! Thank God for making right choices! Thank God for parents and their job! Thank God for moneyyyy! Thank God for good and best friends like Annaliza Tan! :D

& she said, 'walk with me, daddy.'

Giving thanks...

2009-06-04T00:11:00.000-07:00

Praise God!

____ isn't pissed at me anymore! (: So it's not the end!

And.

SENTOSA TOMORROW!

and finally....

CELL TOMORROW NIGHT.

AND THANK GOD FOR ANNALIZA TAN!!!

Praise God!!
HOHOHOHOHOHO.

& she said, 'Thank You Father...'

2009-06-03T00:19:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a dramatic day. There were so many things going on that I do not even know where to start with.

Camps. Something I don't usually attend. I managed to get my ass out of it every single time. When it's compulsory, I don't go. But when it's not, I go. Hur...

But still, I have to thank you, _____, for helping me get out of the situation at first. I really appreciate it. I know no matter how many apologies I send out right now, you will still be mad, but I just wanna let you know I tried. Probably you're pissed at the way I handled the situation. Because I left without a word, but I know that if I were to tell you directly, there was no way I would be leaving your sight. I can't help it. This is a part of me, that I am still trying to deal with. I HATE this part of me, trust me, I really do. But yet it's also something I find hard to face. I hope you'll understand because I tried. For the first 2 hours, I gave myself the chance to be around. I gave myself the chance to participate in everything, but soon after, I really couldn't take it anymore. I know I gave up. I know you're pissed. I know I talk about faith and all, but maybe this is my weakness. In fact, yes, it is. And all I can say is, I'm truly truly sorry.

Anyway.

I had a very busy day yesterday.

I won't talk about my morning.

But I have to thank Shawal and Anna and Amirul :)

For being there for me, I really appreciate it.

Anyhoos.

Spent my afternoon in Bishan with Shawal and Anna. Yet another wonderful day even though we were doing nothing but just sitting there chit-chatting. Isn't tht what we always do anyway? Hoho..

OH BTW.

I INJURED MY KNEE! BOTH KNEES.

One bled and the other a bruise. And how did it happen........? Hur........................

It is now 3.27pm, and Anna has been over at my place since 10am. We have been watching DVDs the whole day.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FRIDAY :D:D:D:D

Crap, Ariel's not coming tonight.

Ok bye.

& Anna is leaving now...... at 4.03pm :(

& she said, 'the only gift I would accept, is your heart'

SHOPPING!!!

2009-06-02T20:06:00.000-07:00

I had a shopping date with Anna and Ellen.

Pictures will show you how much fun we had!

First up, went to have my hair cut together with Anna. Anna trimmed, while i cut my hair shorter, again :D

Anna's super nice and straight hair.

DEFINTELY, another wonderful day spent with them. :D
Thank God for them! :D

& she said, 'i hate this part of me... just let me fly away.'

2009-05-30T05:05:00.001-07:00

Hello peeps.

The pictures below will show you how much fun I am having in school. Notice, I said school and not class! There’s a difference okay!

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I am not trying to imply that I am not having fun in class! I am okay! With my Sonia baby. And Khairi Darling, and Nisa twin. I love them all.

First up, I’ll introduce to you..

From left to right; Shawal, Amirul and Chris

They are really funny people. Really really funny people. You will understand why if you continue to scroll.

Georgie & I. (Dont ask me what I was doing, I don’t know too!)

Ellen’s two fingers, if i’m not wrong.

In my attempt to block Amirul :D

Oh Chris...

And here, you will see Shawal, Chris, Georgie, Ellen, Myself, Nisa and Anna. (Nisa with her eyes closed) HOHOHO.

Our school’s waffles are seriously NUMBER. 1

Myself, Nisa and Anna.

I honestly dont get it, why they like to put do the thing to my face. Which is the making of U shape from their fingers.. If you get what I mean.

Anna, Ellen and Shawal :)

Chris trying to check out his hair through the webcam. Damn classic.

And he hates it when I call him ‘Christopher’. Hohoho.

Introducing my love, Sonia :)

I can assure y’all that no photoshop was done to the pictures. These are the effects of cameroid.com and we were playing around with the effects.

Enjoy Cameroid!

& she said, ‘don’t let me fall again.’

I WENT TO THE ZOO!?

2009-05-26T07:19:00.000-07:00

Well, the title of this post says it all.

I went to the zoo last saturday!!

And it's all thanks to ANNALIZA TAN MY BEST FRIEND :D

Thank you anna, for the tremendous fun I had there in the zoo, though it's still a little unbelievable that I went to the zoo on a very hot day.

Anyway, the dude that is in the pictures below is Shawal. Say hello to my idol. :D

This part, Shawal and I were staring at the water playground. We were trying to imagine how much fun we would potentially have, if we had our swim suits on.

This is the size of my hand in comparison with... Ah Meng's HAND!!

This is the largest turtle that I've ever seen

A VERY VERY BORED MONKEY..

Credits to Anna..

Just so you know.., this is an elephant's scull
I was behind me. But it totally covered me!!

THANK YOU ANNA DARLING! :D
& shawal for the company!

AND ALL OTHER OF ANNA'S YOUNG ADULTS FRIENDS!

2009-05-25T06:17:00.000-07:00

Today we discovered more about the uniqueness of the water molecule. What are some personal characteristics that you think is unique about you?

What makes me unique would be that I am my parents’ daughter. Hoho, sounds cliché, but I really mean it. Reason being, if you were to know my background or what my parents work as, I actually should keep my profile low. But, I am glad to be my parents’ daughter even though it is hard to keep up with the lifestyle.

My dad’s profession is one that many people look at him with respect, and even notice how he lives his life. Obviously, they would notice how his children lives their lives and that would be me. I am constantly being scrutinized at what I do, say and wear (a little exaggerating here, but I am not joking)

Sometimes, I am always being stressed by my parents because I should not wear too skimpy clothes, I should watch what I say, I should watch my behaviour with my friends, ensure that I do not do things that will eventually create a gossip topic for others. And the best part, I have to ensure that I get good grades.

To me, I feel that getting good grades doesn’t determine who I am. Of course, grades does matter, but this should not affect what people think of me. I am what I am in my talents and what I do, therefore to me, being judged by my grades is a ridiculous and foolish thing to do. And I am glad that my parents understand that now.

And I obviously do not care about what others think about me. Of course, there is a limit to what I should do and should not do. But to me, if I were to live my life worrying about what others would say next, worrying if I would be the next gossip topic, then that would be really stressful of a life and I only get to live once! Which is why I think I am unique because I choose not to care and choose to be myself even when I should be watching my back.

And I am proud to say that I am my parents’ daughter regardless of whether people think that I am living the life I should be living.

& she said, 'God help me'

2009-05-16T06:20:00.000-07:00

& there are a lot more pictures but I wont post it up today.

ANOTHER DAY!

I am dreading but yet loving school at the same time :D

BECAUSE JESUS IS MY ROCK AND HE BLOWS MY BLUES AWAY!

2009-05-16T06:13:00.001-07:00

HELLO EARTHLINGS!
WELCOME TO THE MOST BORING BLOG ON EARTH!

I know, I know, I have been abandoning the blog. Well, I have been busy! & still am :(

School has been great and fun, but of course there are days where you really wish you could flush their heads in the toilet bowls. I ain’t gonna say who and what. Haha! Because you don’t hafta know! MUAHAHA.

Here are some pictures that I have been taking the past few days with Anna’s webcam. They came over to my class, before my ______ auditions. No worries, I am not joining Singapore Idol, so don’t worry.

Some are used with Nisa’s laptop. There are two new faces you would see here. Nisa and Ellen :D

Yes, you see here, Ellen is being a kid (twist twist).

Say hello to best Waffles in the planet and Poser Cheryl :)

And there, you have Daren :) my teacher! His math and science is *thumbs up*

Sissy came along too!

& of course when you join Sissy and I together, we can never leave out the cameras.

& i’ll end this off with a freaking stupid yet VERY funny quiz I took on facebook..

‘Who will you end up marrying?’

You are the best.

2009-05-06T01:59:00.000-07:00

Yes, and so as the title of this post says 'you are the best'

I have to say, i really have the bestest friend anyone can ever ask for. But she's not the only best friend I have la, it's just, I have to dedicate this post to her.

AND YOU BETTER BE HONOURED OK.
Because I didn't even blog about school, even when it started
(oh but btw, school has been fantastic but challenging at the same time)

So anyway, the person I am dedicating this blog post to is.....

-DRUM ROLL PLEASE-

ANNALIZA TAN SUAT CHING!

:D:D:D:D:D

Dear Anna,

Ever since we became friends, you have really been a blessing in my life. In my ups and downs, you have always been there for me even when you really can't. You are a friend that I would never exchange anything in the world for. You are someone that I would sacrifice anything for.

I know that you have been trying to help me deal with my issues (singing issues) HAHAHA.
Which is very horrible. But you still manage to survive my traumatising voices, and you brought me out of my comfort zone. As much as you know how embarrassed I would be, you still recorded my singing and showed it to i-have-no-idea-how-many-people, that it now becomes less of a surprise and shock for me.

I know that God will bless YOU because you have blessed me. And you have been a really tremendous blessing in my life. It is an honour for us to be best friends. Because I know you would sacrifice your world for me too!

ARE YOU TOUCHED!?
But Vanessa Danker, don't be jealous. Yours coming soon.

& she said 'this is my hand, i'll be there, whenever you need me'

2009-04-16T00:42:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone.
Currently, Anna, Ammar & I are at the airport!! :D

We were supposed to be at orientations again but yes, we skipped.
:D

And so we are slacking in the airport with our laptops and 2 guitars. Goodness me.

Anna and I are supposed to do something else rather special but apparently we didnt realize that the gallery in the airport would be absolutely quiet and filled with people so we ended up not doing what we were supposed to be doing which is a secret that i'm not gonna tell.

Georgina is supposed to come too, but she couldnt wake up. Haha. But it's not anything important, so we decided to let her sleep some more because i'm was in charge of waking her up.

Thank God for wifi(s) I love wifi(s)

My gums aren't hurting much today, HALLELUJAH!
But i'm still having beancurd, hehe.
Had it for breakfast.

When i reached the airport, anna & ammar (a&a) wanted to have macdonalds. So i was struggling with temptation, i had a few strips of fries though. Too tempting.

Bought popeye's biscuit. Ate the insides and i'm happy again. Saw jollibean & i grinned from ear to ear. Byebye hunger!!

I dont wanna stay here! I wanna move on! I don't wanna be here anymore! Let me go....

Seriously, this place is so quiet, i think i can fall asleep.

2009-04-15T05:14:00.000-07:00

Did I mention how much fun I had last Sunday with Ariel darling? :D
She brightens up my day and she helps me get through the week.
Not that my life is super miserable la. But whenever I think of her, I am just extremely excited. And I can’t help missing her every time.

Say hello to the bangs gang.

So like, today…

Orientations…. :D

Met Ammar, Georgie & Anna at causeway for breakfast.

After which we walked to our new school. I can’t stopped talking all the way though my gums were really aching. I was nervous and excited!

After which, all of us got separated to our respective schools. Super sad.
It was rather awkward. New environment, new faces, new everything. I could hardly get used to it.

We stayed there for about, half an hour?
The 3 of us were texting each other all the way man. Like mass texting. Goodness.

After that, Anna suggested..

“Do you want to go off?”

HALLELUJAH!
Look, I didn’t come up with the suggestion okay. But honestly, I would’ve done so sooner or later too. I just couldn’t take it anymore. They were doing all the camp cheers & stuff that I do not really like. Then they were gonna be playing games the whole freaking day. Sorry to say, but I’m not exactly a person that likes to do such stuff. Orientations aren’t my thing.

SO…
From school, we cabbed to my place. Stayed at home for a while. Checked out movie timings..

Wanted to catch...

Taken.

But the timings were too late. So we ended up watching...

JONAS BROTHERS 3D CONCERT!

I KNOW I KNOW! SLAP ME!
Jonas brothers! How can right!!
But we were desperately trying to find something to do to waste time away.
I have to admit, after watching the concert, i have once again fell in love with Joe Jonas. Very very typical, i know. But I CANT HELP IT!!

Before we had our movie,
Georgie & Anna had macs for lunch while i watched them eat :(
Ammar decided to stay in school since he already has friends at his course. Hahahaha.

After that, we cabbed down to Cathay..

We woke Georgie up from her precious sleep...

Kawaii nehzxzxzx

When we reached.., while waiting for the movie to start..

Anna pretends to be shy...

In the theatre, with our 3D glasses. I know you can barely see anything, but it thrills anna & i
GEORGINA SLEPT DURING THE MOVIE! !@#$!@#$

After the movie, the girls accompanied me to Plaza Sing for my lunch. Which was already like 3pm.

Saw this..

After that, we slacked at some staircase.

I adore hanging out with my girlies. Thank you girls for everything :D

I HAVE TO SAY THIS..

Today.. The only thing i had. The only dish i had for the 3 MEALS OF MY DAY IS....

*DRUMROLL*

Thank God for soya beancurd! :D

& she said, "i'll hide the tears..."

THE PAIN!!

2009-04-14T01:53:00.001-07:00

I am in great pain right now.

I am in the process of getting...

Yes, braces! :D

The metal pieces aren't exactly stuck to my teeth yet, i'm only at the VERY VERY FIRST PROCESS..

Which is getting separators, i didn't ask what it is for, but i guess the process name says it all. And it is really aching. Not exactly painful la. But really aching. Imagine tooth aches, but on your gums. I've never had tooth aches before though so i dont know if my explanation is right.

But anyway, blame in on being vain. I am in need of a very nice small. I am not saying i am insecure though. I like the way i look, but i never liked my teeths :(

It's really a very very sad thing. Cause tomorrow, i'm gonna hafta go for orientations. I always believed i am anti-social. But friends around me, have been able to convince me that i am. But i still think i am.

Steph was the best. I told her "I am antisocial, i dont think i'll be able to make friends"

She said "If you are anti-social, we all probably don't have mouths at all"

HAHAHAHAHA. Thanks steph :) I am confident of making friends, i have to.

But with the separators in between my teeths, i doubt i can talk much. Also, this week, i have 2 birthday dates.

This saturday, i'm dating Raina out for lunch, her birthday treat. Then in the night, i have a party at home to celebrate my aunt's birthday. She has done so much for all of us. It's time we serve her back :)

I HOPE THE PAIN WILL BE GONE BY SATURDAY.
I am taking out the separators on Saturday morning though, then the following saturday, i'll be sticking those metal plates on every individual teeths. I am awaiting nice smiles. :)

No pain no gain right. At first i believed that i will be able to take the pain, but now, i am beginning to lose my cool. I am still able to tolerate it but sometimes it gets so aching, i want to sleep so that i wont feel the pain.

Dad was really funny. Before the dentist proceed with getting the separators in, dad said..
"Before he begins, let's make things clear.... NO GRUMBLING AH! NO COMPLAINING AH!!"

But this whole thing is really uncomfortable. I have not eaten anything much in the past two days. :( I guess this whole braces thing is gonna help me to lose weight. But i guess not too. Because ive been eating a lot of ice cream to numb the gums.

OKAY THIS POST IS GETTING WORDY!

Dear God, please bless me and help me during my orientation tomorrow!
AMEN!

P/S, i hope my 3 inch heels wont kill me tomorrow

& she said, "i wanna be a ballerina"

2009-04-09T07:02:00.000-07:00

Today is the EVE of GOOD FRIDAY!
Thank God for Good Friday.
2009 and maybe more years ago, Jesus Christ died for every one of us, whether or not you like it, HE DIED FOR YOU TOO!

Without what happened that day, there won't be me.
Because I am nothing without my heavenly Father. :)

I am looking forward so much to tmr.
We're gonna celebrate Good Friday at RAINA'S HOUSE!
Sadly, Cordelia is not joining us :( That woman... Last year's My Hope event, she wasn't around too.

I am missing her & SHE IS ARRIVING BACK IN SG TOMORROW!
I want to go to the airport to welcome her (& my goods) with open arms.
BUT SO FAR, OUT OF THE NINE DAYS THAT SHE HAS LEFT,
SHE HAS ONLY REPLIED 1 EMAIL :(

But i understand that she is majorly enjoying herself right now & it must be expensive to keep getting online.

So anyway I'm watching American Idol now. & okay i'm not gonna say it.
But, I LOVE LOVE LOVE,

Matt G,

Kris Allen,

&&&&, Adam Lambert

Last night, during his performance...

Simon Cowell gave him a standing ovation. WHOOHOO.

I am really feeling excited about tomorrow.
Raina house's is like a resort.. Oh man.. Jasmine & I have been complaining.. We want to camp over! But sadly, she is not coming tmr too! :(

Not only am i happy because i'm heading to Raina's place. I'm happy because i'm celebrating Christ, though tomorrow is His death... I am glad that He rose again 3 days later. Which is gonna be this Easter Sunday.

Sometimes, i feel really really guilty. Despite knowing how much He has done for me, i still constantly take Him for granted. I will never forget what Ps Cesar said during the conf. It's a long story, so i'm not gonna post it here, but if you're interested, you can ask me.. :)

ALRIGHTEE. I AM GONNA CONTINUE WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL AND THEN TALK TO GOD AND THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS GIVEN TO ME.

Oh yeah, did i mention? I had a very different lunch experience today.
Daddy brought us (mom was on leave, bro has check up, thus skipping sch) to this cafe called,

ORGANI CAFE XPERIENCE

The food is really really different, but nice. And the price is rather reasonable too, for the kinda food you get there la.

& today, God has blessed me. Hehehe.
OK BYE.

& she said, "i am so captivated by you"

2009-04-08T00:01:00.000-07:00

Life has been hard, yeah right.
Life has been great!!

Stuff happened on Sunday, that were good and bad. But i'll keep the good in my heart.
I have been waiting a long time for it to happen & i know that it'll be in His timing.

We're talking again.. And i am really really glad it has happened.

Though i've been struggling with certain issues in life, i know that God has a plan, & i know that God is moulding me to be His witness.

Thank you Anna for being such a wonderful gift to me. :)
You're really God-sent. Thank you for all your encouragements :)

Though i'm not comfortable with sharing and coming public about my current issues, i am willing to share with you, the one song that has been pulling me back to the cross..

_While_Im_Waiting_-_John_Waller.mp3 - John Waller

John Waller - While I'm Waiting

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord
And i am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, i will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, lord
And i am peaceful
I'm waiting on You Lord,
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait

& she said, "Yes I will wait"

2009-04-01T02:25:00.000-07:00

SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!

JON HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR 11 YEARS! I AM CRAZY OVER A MARRIED MAN!!

Oh like i didn't know that. Cordelia has been calling me a stalker cause i've been at his blog every single day to check if he has blogged. I can't help but be so mesmerized at him!!!!!

And this is bad, because i'm idolizing. Well, not as crazy as how much Sissy loves David Archuleta. But i definitely love Jon.

So anyway I didn't meet Kirk yesterday. He reached home at 7am, & texted me at 7am. & he woke up rather late. OK I'M NOT BLAMING HIM LA! I was lazy too.

MY NEW MATTRESS ARRIVED & I COULDNT HELP IT!!!

So like Cordelia is now overseas.. AHHHHHHH. I'm gonna miss her! Thank God Friday's meeting has been cancelled. Muahaha.

Stayed up till 2am last night, was chatting with Cordelia, oh my, how much i miss her & it's only been the first day!

So like, Sissy & her friends are over the place right now. & i am distracting and disturbing them by shouting and screaming like a mad lady expressing how disturbed i am by the fact that Jon has been married for 11 years now!!

OKAY I AM DONE HERE.
SEEING ANNA TOMORROW!

& she said, "stand under my umbrella"

2009-03-30T00:47:00.000-07:00

I see the world in a different light today
BECAUSE I GOT A NEW MATTRESS (BED)!!!! :D

Haha, i'm rather sad to part with my current bed, but my new bed is FABULOUS!

It's arriving tomorrow!!

Can't wait.

Daddy said something to me just now when we were choosing the bed.. He said,

"Dont need to choose something that will last very very long (1oyears)"

I replied, "WHY! Isn't more worth while?"

"Well, i don't expect you to still be staying with me in a few years time right..."

OMG. My heart pounced out, then i was reminded that in a few years time, I AM GOING TO BE SOMEBODY'S WIFE!!!!!!!!!

I am excited! And i can't wait to begin a whole new life with ..........................
HEHEHEHE, SECRET!!

Well, until now, my parents have no news about Reynard. :(

My my my..
I have orientations on 13th March. I AM NOT READY FOR ORIENTATIONS!

I am ready for school though. If i can skip the whole making friends part, life will be perfect! KIDDING. AWWW MAN... Everyone knows that Cheryl is not necessarily friendly at the first meet...

I have limited time to continue resting and playing before things get serious.
This week, i am meeting up with 2 good pals.

Tomorrow, i'll be meeting kirk for either lunch or dinner. He wants lunch, I want dinner.
Thursday, i'll be heading down to town to meet Anna for lunch. MUAHAHAHA.

Cordelia is flying off this Wednesday... I'm gonna miss her because she's not gonna be around for TGIF AGAIN!!!!!!!

I need to date Stephanie out for shopping soon. Ahhhhh....

I am currently obsessed with music. (Like since when was i not?)
Gym class heroes, fall out boy, panic at the disco, the academy is..., cobra starship, the hush sound.. and many many many many more. This is why i need a bigger space IPOD!

& she said, "keep my heart on fire... for You"

2009-03-29T07:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was really a bad day.

Just yesterday evening, Mom woke me up from my nap.
At first i was really lethargic till she broke the bad news to me...

My childhood friend, met with an accident.
He was cycling along the road, and got hit by a lorry.
Currently, he is in ICU, and he has a fractured skull.

It really shocked me, because I just saw him during Chingay. He was one of the photographers, but he obviously couldn't recognise me.

When i heard the news, i really felt like crying.
My heart really went out to his family. Especially his newly wed wife for 2 years.

During EARTH HOUR last night, our family had our lights all switched off,
we used candles instead.

I gathered the tribe, (Sissy and Bryan)
We gathered in my room, with the 8 candles lit up, it was a pleasant sight.

And we began singing..

Healer, by Planetshakers.

I really sang it with all my heart. I believe that God is really the healer, and He will be able to heal Raynerd, (i have no idea how to spell his name)
I know that God will heal him, I have the faith that God is doing a work in Raynerd's life. But it's really sad to hear something like that happen to the people around you.

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
You heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

& she said, "God, heal him, please"

2009-03-26T05:02:00.000-07:00

Good day mate!

So like yesterday was supposed to be a fun day, but because of ME, the girls and I had to change our plans :(

But we still had a great day though.

First up, met Anna, Georgina, Andrew, Ammar, Marcus, Samson and Zichao at YCK mrt station
Zichao thought i was heading for work because i was carrying my laptop at hand and my laptop bag isnt the common ones. Yada...

After that, collected our cert, met up with Miss Lim S.P. :)

Georgie, Anna and I went to Bishan to have our lunch while waiting for Vanessa.

Georgie bullied Anna... by pouring this much cheese onto her chicken bolognese.

And then they went ahead to bully me but capturing unglam and ugly pictures of me and not allowing me to view it. They said "i'll tag you on facebook and if you delete, i'll put it up as my profile picture!"

I was telling them a story, and had to do this action...

Then we went back to school to accompany Vanessa get her cert. After that, we headed back down to J8 to watch...

The show was fantastic! I loved the show. It touched me.. Yada yada...

After that, I left because there were last minute things that i had to do. Felt very bad, because we were suppose to go to town :(

Sorry girlies!

But Anna was my angel and she is the best! :)

Say hello to my newly bought dickies!

I can't wait to start school because i'll be seeing them every single day again! Which is very much awesome!

I know i was supposed to update last night, but uh, i was distracted... Hehehehe.
By....

I LOVE THIS FILM! I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!!!!

Tomorrow, i'm supposed to hang out with Cordelia and Raina. But Raina can't come last minute because she has training! :(

But nvm i'm still looking forward to tomorrow. Cause Cordelia is going to CHINA SOON!!!!!
And she is a precious jewel because ............................... :)

SO ANYWAY. GOODBYE!

Teach me to love - this is my plea;
May all the Spirit's graces shine through me;
Tear from my heart all hate, foolish pride;
Help me to live like Christ the crucified - PETERSON

& she said, "take away my paper heart"

2009-03-24T19:47:00.000-07:00

Anna & I are watching AJ live right now.
And i cant help but laugh at the things he's saying. Hahaha, especially the part about his drummer.

OK

Back to the point.
I'M HANGING OUT WITH THE GIRLS TODAY!

Bye!!!
Await my long post of pictures!

2009-03-21T03:22:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone.
I am back from Richard & Elizabeth’s Wedding.
I am so touched by their vows and just everything. Upon having them at my place for pre-marital counselling with my old man & now finally D DAY!

So anyway
We arrived at TC at like 1030am. Because Dad has to solemnize another couple’s wedding
So while waiting for Dad to finish solemnizing..

A whole lot of crap…
My beloved pair of heels that I absolutely adore!

The past and the present, if you click on the picture, you’ll see that my mom has changed a lot.

& yes, I have to give credit to my Sissy, because, she takes great pictures of me.

Brother, who is so bored!

Sissy’s book, that she read while waiting.

Mother, trying to keep us quiet. That picture was totally candid. & done by muah! J

& behind this wooden door, is the solemnizing room, which is very close to the room we were in, & that is why we had to be quiet because we weren’t exactly suppose to be there, as we were called, the “unwanted guests”

Then, we went to Fairprice to get stuff, and just basically waste time. Because we had to wait for 2 hours before the Richard and Elizabeth’s wedding.

A very bored me, in NTUC.

Yada yada, finally the Wedding ceremony began..

Dad, on the stage, preparing.

Dad, conducting the wedding.

The wedding vows and just everything touched me very deeply. I cant wait for my own wedding! Haha, I guess I could even roughly draft out how I want my wedding to be.

Baby Ariel came afterwards, so of course, I played with her just for a tiny while because the little girl was rather sleepy. But she was having a great time, using her balloon to hit her mom, sissy & my head!! She is one cheeky but very very adorable little sweetheart!

After everything, the TAN gang, headed to Han’s for lunch or tea break, whatever. We were hungry, & now, home.

Ok, that’s it for now.
I am having a very very bad headache. I need to rest.
Kirk says I’m weak, darn! I guess I have to agree to that.

& she said, “ive made so many mistakes”

20 March 2009, Friday

2009-03-21T02:46:00.000-07:00

Ok so like I’m doing this on Microsoft Word because I don’t wanna sign into blogger and to only be signed out after a few minutes, because my laptop is running low on battery!

So anyway, Cor and I had a great time in MacDonalds’ enjoying the WIFI we had. She was happily downloading games into her Itouch, while I, being mesmerized and jealous at the fact that she has one, was busy surfing the net with my usual dosage of internet. Which is very important.

Had Ajisen Ramen for dinner. Cordelia tempted me!
Now I feel so broke. Because I already was. But now just even more broke.

Tomorrow, I’m attending Elizabeth & Richard’s wedding. And another couple that I’m not sure who yet. Cause daddy’s gonna be solemnizing the wedding. Just psycho-ed Gina to get my dad to solemnize her wedding so that I get a free trip to and fro. HEHEHEHE!

Booze, I’m thinking booze.

Actually I felt quite disturbed today. Or rather maybe, I’m just very very emotionally exhausted. But certain things cannot be made public L
Ahh well. I’ll do it in spanish soon.
I just really am tired.

Ok I’m still trying to waste my time hoping that the battery will be completely drained, so that I can charge it. I don’t think I’ll be charging it tonight. Because I think I’m gonna go hit the bed soon.

Gotta get up at 8am tomorrow to prepare! Man…..

I miss delirious? so badly right now.
I miss Raina too!

Ok, I’m gonna save this, so I can publish this tomorrow. Goodbye and goodnight world!

P/s, i just hate it when I’m put it that position. Extremely loathe it.

(Actually it isn’t goodnight, it should be goodmorning, its 12.03am now)

& she said, "i'm waiting for a miracle"

2009-03-19T20:41:00.000-07:00

Caught Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street last night.
It was awesome. Loved it. Excellent movie.

I think Johnny Depp is honestly, weirdly charming. Haha.
But i have to say, the show is awfully dark. Haha.

Having 144 meeting tonight. Man, i dread it.
But i am reminded of my new year resolution.
Ahh well.

Meeting Cordelia in approximately 3 hours time.
She's stuck at Parkway from 12pm.

Bro just brought the food into my room. So sweet :)
Cause i was complaining that i was hungry & he hurried down to the coffeeshop to get me food.

& delirious? has yet to blog!!!!!! :(

& she said, "you see, i'm fragile"

Let Go by RuSoul

2009-03-19T00:58:00.000-07:00

Anna introduced me to many many very unknown but awesome singers and songwriters.

And one of them, i have just posted the video. The song's called, "Let Go"
& i just really felt it speaking to me right now.
The lyrics and all.

The best part about these unknown singers, their songs are not only nice, but their lyrics are just great. To those who know me well, i'm not a lyrics well, i'm more of a tune person.

But for these singers, they taught me how to appreciate lyrics.

Just last night, a lot of things have been going through my mind.
And letting go, is something i'm learning and going through.
I've to learn to let go of the past and move on with the future.
Let go of my wants and know that God has it all planned for me.

Well, enough of me, i shall just let the lyrics speak to you..

I've been on this road
Far too many times, looks too familiar
Countless tears of disappointment
Screams of pain and sorrow fills my life
How much more can one take without giving up
No where to run or hide
When the road gets though

How many times in your life have you ever been down?
Feels like there's no one ever around
Just...

Let go, be still and know
That you'll never walk alone
Every step you take, He won't forsake you

Help me Lord, Lord i'm on my knees
Weak with desperate cries I plead
Work through me oh Lord, and help me let go

Many times in my life
Tried to do things on my own
He grabbed my hand and said 'my child, come home'

'Trust. Believe.
Dont ever doubt. That I'll be here
Watching and waiting
I will never let you down

All of those times in your life
That you've ever been down
My child, I've always been around'

Let go, be still and know
That you'll never walk alone
Every step you take, He won't forsake you
Help me Lord, Lord I'm on my knees
Weak with desperate cries I plead
Work through me oh Lord, and help me let go...

THANK YOU ANNA!!

One word: NOSTALGIA

2009-03-18T04:32:00.001-07:00

I'm really feeling nostalgia right now.

I keep having flash backs on the past.
And i don't mean past as in a few months, a weeks ago.
But, many many years ago.

Way back into my childhood days.

So like what made me nostalgia?
I guess it was the bowl of red bean paste i had right after dinner.

Those childhood days, the innocence, the joy, the foolishness, the childlikeness.
Everything is badly missed right now.

Even though yes there were times when you really wish you could hurry grow old, but right now, all i can ever think about, was the fun times i had with my childhood pals.

Before life even started becoming complicated, before many arguments, before many misunderstandings arose, those were the days...

I remember, the times, when Keshia and I would stay over at each other's places. The only place, my parents would allow me to travel without them, would be to Keshia's place. I remember going to her place just to learn how to roller-blade. But Sissy ended up injured. Haha!

Also, i remember the many times when Uncle Andrew would have meetings at my place, then Keshia would come along, and we'll be in the room, talking about everything. Then we'll run out at about 9pm, just to check what was for supper.

And when we have retreats at malaysia. We'd go shopping together and sometimes even get matching clothes and sandals.

Every Sunday, after service, we'd go to the octopus coffeeshop and the Fish Soup Uncle would remember us, we'd just show him our faces, and he'll go like "ok! coming right up!" (in chinese like duh)
Then after eating, we'd go to the playground, and start talking about everything, playing or just simply listening to music.

And the times where You and I form a team and Raina and Jasmine became one. And we'd be staring at each other whenever we walk into Chapel. Haha. Those really were the days.

I remember we attended SML together with Cordelia, there we realised MingXuan was Cordelia's neighbour. And there after, we travelled to Cordelia's place then to Ming Xuan's place. And for my sake, Mingxuan had to lock his dog up and he told me "my dog is going crazy because of you!"

Haha, and the many other things we did that are too embarrassing to say or list in a public blog.

Oh how time flies. I really miss the innocence we all used to have. Of course, we're all grown up now but there is a part of me that really miss the bond we all used to have. Right now, it seems like all of us are slowly drifting apart and moving on.

Right now, it feels so weird to even say "Hi" to your parents. In fact your parents can't even recognize me. But i miss the times we'd bathe with cockroaches. I really miss the childhood days..

Where nothing would make me fearful for as long as I know, my dad has my back. Not that my dad doesnt have my back right now, but i know that it's time to mature up and it's time i take responsibility for my actions.

Right now, the cell isn't a cell anymore. It is just a group of old friends hanging out for old times' sake. I really miss the times when we were so bonded that nothing could tear us apart. And i guess, everyone has a part to play in creating the bond.

But i really really do miss the old times..

& she said, "this is the last sigh of nostalgia cos' we're inseparable."

STOP THE NOISE!

2009-03-17T05:26:00.000-07:00

My neighbours have been really helpful in terms of helping me recover.
They have been drilling holes (i suppose). And the noise is exceedingly noisy.
I cant take it anymore!!

I am feeling much better today except for the fact that i'm just super drowsy and the bodyache is not at all helping too.
Darn. I actually have lotsa plans this week but guess Mom & Dad wont be allowing me out of the house anytime soon.

I'm still thinking if i should join the dance competition in June.
Hmm..

I've been thinking alot about families today.
I was watching the replay of "True Courage".

And the episode today was about a couple who were really bold and had true courage to decide on keeping their unborn child.
You see, their little baby was not like any one of us. He has deformities.
I cant really remember what is actually wrong with him but he was definitely much different from all of us.

So anyway,
I put myself in the shoes of the couple. & i was just wondering, what would I do?
To me, it felt like it was just cruel to bring the child to earth as he/she would just be suffering from the many operations, to the many different medications etc.

But yet, it is also cruel to abort the baby.
Sigh.

When i saw the images of the baby under the knife in the operation theatre, my heart really sank. The baby, or rather infant, had to go through so many operations. And i bet, it was definitely very very tedious, and painful for him.

This really makes me thank God that He made me the way I am right now.

& he said, "it was your smile."

FLU BUG!!

2009-03-16T07:33:00.001-07:00

Yes, i've contracted the flu bug.
Ever since last week :(

A day before the conference, i fell ill. Had high fever. Flu & everything bad.

Today, the headache is just killing me.
I guess it's due to lack of sleep because of the conference.

How nice it is, to be attached to the Holy Spirit
So i've been really thinking about it today.

I feel really bad that I didn't stay throughout the service for Keshia's grandpa.
My deepest deepest condolences and greatest Sorry(s) Kesh!

Super touched by Cordelia. She has offered to do shopping for me in China. :)
Super thankful to have great friends by me.

ps. delirious? inspired me to blog again.

& i know i will see Your light, again.

I will miss you, Delirious?

2009-03-15T05:29:00.000-07:00

Well, i am done with the G12 Conference. I have to say, the G12 conference this year is really different for me. With the volunteered and willingness to babysit darling Ariel. & many other thing. But the climax of the G12 Conference for me, was......

Delirious?

First of all, i have to say this.
I am very very much saddened at the news of them disbanding. Martin Smith has the best vocals live. (Besides Henry Seely) But Martin is just WOW. & his heart for children, is another amazing spirit i admire.

Then, there's Jon Thatcher.
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
I can never express how thrilled I was to be standing right in front of him throughout the many sessions they were playing. & JON THATCHER SMILED AT ME TWICE!!!!! :)

I cannot contain my excitement in watching them live & i cannot contain my sadness at them disbanding.

Even before G12 Conference started. I was there hours before the conference with dad and the rest of FCBC staff to set up and all. Of course, for not being a staff, i get to roam around doing anything I want.

So, with the permission of my dad, i had exclusion personal concert from the Delirious? to me. :D

I was in Max Pavilion right in front of the band, watching them rehearse, doing soundchecks and all.

At that moment, I wasn't as crazy over them like the way I am right now, but one thing I will never forget, was how much i enjoyed myself, 4 years ago at the FOP in SIS.

I spent 3 hours reading up their blogs. & i am so thrilled to see that Jon and Martin both love Photography!

& Jon has a crazy sense of humour. :):):):):):):)

Well, its really disheartening to know that this is the last time I'll be watching them live. The worst part, i've always preferred them live :(
They'll be disbanding in Nov.
So i have the next few months to save up thousands of dollars and confidence in my parents to send me to UK for another gig. The LAST ever gig they'll have before they move on with their lives to spend time with their families.

OK I PROMISED NO LONG WORDY POSTS. SO HERE GOES...

Introducing, the lead, Martin Smith. Father of 6 children :)

Introducing, my favourite bassist. Jon Thatcher. Father of 3 children :)

& Martin again...

This is the rest of the band, doing the autograph session.

From front of back.

Drummer, Paul Evans, Lead, Martin Smith, Guitar, Stu G., Bassists, Jon Thatcher, Keys, Tim Jupp

Tim is hard to catch though.

& LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

A special from Barnabas to me. :D

Barnabas and Amelia were super priviledged to be able to take pictures together with the band.

The picture taken by Barnabas, he went back to print the picture into a postcard, got Martin's signature & gave it to me :D THANK YOU BARNABAS!

Credits to Cordelia & Raina & myself for the pictures :D

Anyway, i have also changed my playlist, just in case you're wondering. The songs, are by Delirious? (DUH!) These are the songs that really ministered to me & songs that i really really love. These are the few songs that they played throughout the 3 days they were here with us during the conference.

If you wondering, why there is a different language, it's in Spanish. Because, the recording is taken from their latest album (which i just bought, & have them signed it) that was recorded live in Bogota, Columbia. During a G12 conference there this year. So this is their latest & last album.

I am still waiting for more pictures from Gina & Cordelia. There were some taken with the digital camera. But then Cor's cam "something wrong" (as spoken by her mom, haha) so we had to use our lousy camera phones :(

ALRIGHT. ENOUGH OF DELIRIOUS? (If you're wondering, the '?' is part of their band name).

This is a picture taken by Raina of my darling baby looking greedy. For the past two days, the girls were enjoying the company of baby ariel and from their observation, cordelia thinks that she seems to look fatter each day.

& the girls think that i should not feeding her. EXCEPT during meal times of course. Well the baby wants food, & i love to watch her eat. :)

oh especially Ian. He seems to have his ways with kids and Ariel loves to play with him. Whenever she plays with him, it reminds of the time when Ariel plays with Alex. I wonder why guys just seem to capture of the hearts of babies more. Or is it just Ian & Alex? Hmm....

Ariel has really been a blessing to me.

Needless to say, i'm just a feather, slowly drifting away...

LONG TO SHORT

2009-03-02T05:16:00.000-08:00

First of all, before i continue my VERY LONG POST. I need to say this.

A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU TO STEPHANIE & ANNA! :)

Stephanie for encouraging me to cut my hair & to really really explain to me the pros to why i should do it & finally giving me the courage to do it too. Thank you big time!

Anna for taking all the pictures that could really bore her. Thank you thank you. & thank you for spending your whole day with me :)

Ok today, i finally cut my hair. I have been wanting to do this ever since last year but i was afraid of the changes. Because it is a MAJOR MAJOR change.

First of all, I started out the day meeting Anna in Orchard. We had our lunch at Far East & then we went over to Shaw Centre to get some stuff done for my dad. :)

After which, from Shaw Centre, Anna & I cabbed down to Plaza Sing.
Had,

This was Anna's treat to me,

Tropical Mango. Thanks sweetheart.

Then we shared..

TAKE NOTE OF THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR!!

Then we went to look for a photo shop to take my passport size picture for Poly. Just in case the short hair doesn't work out, at least the picture would look great.
But apparently, the Fujifilm there told us it costs $18 to get our passport size picture taken. What a freaking rip off -.-

So Anna & I walked a very long roundabout to the Hair Salon.

Anna took pictures of my long long hair. Haha.

This is Anna & I sitting at Singapore Shopping Centre awaiting Vanessa's arrival.

I call this..
BEFORE

In the hair salon, waiting. They made me do my hair first!

& i call this,
AFTER

Anna & Vanessa

Vanessa, with my camera phone.

TADAAAAA!

This post is for you, Steph :)

So anyway, after everything.
Went all the way to Potong Pasir to meet Kirk.
This is to repay for the other time when he came down to Woodlands to study with me. Now we're even.

Stayed there for a while. Accompanied the sick boy to eat Porridge -.-
Then met Mom at the Train Station.

So far, i'm loving my new hair-do. & nobody has said anything negative.
Thank God!

Speaking of which, i am so proud of myself that i finally finished reading the whole book of GENESIS! Whoo...

Ngor Hiang!
Not my piece of art work but almost. Hehehe.
Well.....

Today, i had nothing to do.
So decided to cook this dish.
You see, during CNY, my grandaunt made this dish and it was fantabulous! Really.
It was like the best ngor hiang i have ever tasted! So just last Sunday, i asked her for the recipe.
So she taught me how to make this dish and tadaaaaa! I didn't disappoint her! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

I am very contented with my successful ngor hiangs man!

That is the side dish for dinner tonight.
The main dish is..... (drum roll)

LAKSA!
Obviously mine is not up to comparison with the REAL laksa la!
Mine is the FAKE laksa because, i bought the ready to cook kind.

I have really no idea how it would fair, but i'm really hoping it would be great.

Anna & Georgie called me this morning. :D

So the whole day i've been cooking & i finally finished watching my hong kong drama. This drama serial is super touching, to me though. Maybe cause the whole marriage thingy really got into me.

I AM MEETING STEPHANIE TOMORROW!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I caught Leona Lewis' I Will Be music video today. It featured my hubby,

Chace Crawford.
It was a very very short feature but whatever. He's still hot.
& i'm thankful they didn't kiss or whatsoever. Or it'll really crush my heart. Kidding.

But even if they do, I will forgive Leona. Because she's a damn good singer.
(The way i put it, it's as though Leona is my friend)

I can never get enough of Chace. He is drop dead gorgeous. Play boy? Whatever!

I am so tempted to post up tons of pictures of him but it will jut prove that i'm idolizing him so no can do. But i'm really very tempted. He's too hot. & i better start clicking on the X button at the top right hand corner of the page before i start drooling.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed about tonight's dinner. I really do hope its worth all the time and effort.

& she said, "don't you dare die, because i'm not done loving you."

Thinking of you...

2009-02-08T23:06:00.000-08:00

Katy Perry's Thinking Of You is stuck in my head. Woke up at 6am this morning to have breakfast with parents. So on the way home, in the car, the radio was playing this song & i immediately fell in love with it.

:D

So yes, that's the current song playing in my blog right now. & its my favourite song, for now. Ive been having this song on repeat for the past half hour now.

If you guys haven't watched the video. You should!!! NOW NOW NOW.
The lyrics & everything, really touched me.

& I FOUND OUT THAT KATY PERRY IS THE MIDDLE CHILD OF TWO PASTORS!
Goodness........

anyway, CHINGAY IS OVER.
& I miss it terribly right now. Sissy & I dreams of it every night.
The music to the dance still haunts us. The counts from 1-8 is terrible.
But it was all worth it. Cause it was all amazing, fun & wow.

But before Chingay was done.
Met up with Kirk together with Sissy.

We wanted to catch the movie

But, the cinema management teams decided to only play the movie in town areas.

& I couldn't get myself down to town because, it was the night before chingay & i needed to get home asap.

:(

So we caught,

I regretted not watching Changeling. The storyline seems cool.
I'm definitely getting the DVD. Dad wanted to catch the movie too but the movie theatres nearby are not very supportive of the movie :(

After the movie, we went to eat.

Kirk decided to show me his 3 digit number $ bag.
& i caught 4 things inside his bag.

So here are 4 THINGS IN KIRK'S BAG

No. 1

?!?!?!? water?!

No. 2

Uhm... Hmm., (tries not to laugh)
Kirk seems to really love to get into criminal minds.
The writer is a very famous lawyer in Singapore.

No. 3

Due to his very very short hair,
Kirk decided to use his SPY cap to cover his almost botak-ness.
Spy-kid.

No. 4

INTRODUCING THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE 4 THINGS IN KIRK'S BAG:

Yes. A watch.
You must be wondering.... "What's with this watch? Cheryl, nuts or what!?"

But i tell you.....
An 18-year-old-male-soon-to-be-entering-poly-student is wearing a watch with the print of .....

I dont know who this person is. But he looks like some political leader from China.
Please pardon the poor picture quality. My handphone camera is only 2 megapixel.

& the picture of the day.

See the oysters lying at the side of the plate?
"Uncle, one plate of fried oyster egg without the oyster please!"

Then Chingay WAS FANTABULOUS. FANTASTIC.
LOVED IT.

The first show had its errors and stuff but it was still great. Performing Arts is really my passion :D

MagicBox had the grandest performance.
:)

I won't post the pictures because people have already given me feedback regarding how ridiculous i looked. But if you really are interested to find out how ridiculous i looked, you can choose to beg me. :D

HEHEHEHEHEHE
Kidding!

It's on facebook. If you're desperate, you can go find it from there.

Poor Raina, had a hard time looking for my face in the church bulletin yesterday.

While queuing up for my make up to be done before the show..
Sissy caught a picture of my hair. Because it looked like a snake. Haha.
It was long and plaited.

YADA YADA..

In between last week. I met up with STEPHANIE HENDRICKS! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

That woman & I have endless topics to talk about.
She first accompanied me to PASTAMANIA, so while i ate, she talked.
Then i accompanied her to Mos Burger. She ate, and i talked.

Yadayada. No pictures.. Sorry. Was to engrossed with the talking.

FRIDAY 6 Feb 2009

Had Chingay Appreciation Dinner.
Took pictures with people but not with my cam. Sooooooo, i have no idea where the pictures are published right now.

BUTTTT

Ian Hiew was the best.
He came up to me.. "Eh! Haven't took picture with you yet!"

So i was like "Ok, cool. Let's take one then."
& i foolishly prepares to pose.

Ian: "Uh, no camera"

-Claps-

So yes, used my HANDPHONE CAMERA. Because i stupidly forgot to bring the camera.

Please dont ask me why i smiled so foolishly into the camera. :D

So yes that's about it.

I finally saw Cordelia Yeo yesterday after donkey ages. :) Happy happy.
& Jasmine Loo is back from her Korea trip. I miss my girlies.

KESHIA! We must meet up soon!

Gosh, i have so many people to meet up with but so little time.

I have had rough times lately, & i just wanna thank you girls for being there for me.
Thank you Stella for your encouragements! :) It is really God-given.
Thank you Raina for always knowing how to just be there so silently but yet so powerfully :) Your hug was really needed.

& He said, "take my hand & i will lead you, my daughter"

Family Portrait

2009-01-23T03:14:00.000-08:00

Last year, just a week before M&D (mom & dad) left for their 2 week long trip to Israel, we had our family portrait taken.

Oh boy do i love photoshoots & photography.

Introducing.... The TAN Family :)

Formal portraits first.

The TANgecheez. (Idk why, Dad calls us that -.-)

Sissy & I

The head of the household. My old man :)

The chief and co-chief of the TAN clan.

The 2nd cutest person in my life. (First is Ariel)

Now for the fun and casual shots.

Super adorable!

Yes. I know. I'm getting braces next month!

The eldest and the youngest.

Sissy looks damn good in this picture man.

Like father, like daughters,

My Precious Gifts

2009-01-23T02:07:00.000-08:00

I wanted to recreate a new blog at the beginning of the year to mark my very new beginning in life and in everything that I do.

But,

I haven't really had the time to do so & wasn't very sure that I wouldn't abandon this blog again.

But since Daddy has just changed the computer screen, I wanted to try-it-out. So here I am, recreating a new blog. :D

I know it's a little too late to blog about new year resolutions and stuff, but I still am gonna do it because at the end of 2009, I'm gonna look back at the pages of myprecious-gifts and I'm gonna thank God for everything He has given me :)

Actually I have plenty of new year resolutions. Currently, i can't remember all.

But the few that are very important to me are..

1. A closer walk with God

2. Re-commit myself to the cell.

3. Trusting God in every situation

4. Being the person God wants me to be.

The reason why I named this blog, my precious gifts, is because I believe that every day is a gift given from Him. & every day, everything that will come by way, be it good or bad, is a gift from God. & I want to remember it so as to look back one day and see how God has blessed in each area of my life.

This year has been a great year so far. Well it has only been 23 days.

But these 23 days have been wonderful.

So anyway..

I'm really hoping to be able to join Keshia next week for dance. But hmmmm...... There are issues that I must solve first.

Chingay is near!

Ok i'm waiting for Stephanie to quickly graduate! So we can hang out again!

So like last night I was chatting with Anna & I really miss her! Vanessa, Georgie, Anna & I need to hang out soon!

Ok bye.

P/s, i promise, not another wordy post again!
