| Ninja! |
[Dec. 15th, 2009|12:05 pm] |
Cut off heads, bloods and lots of gore actions that would better be seen from the gaps of fingers.
I went to watch Ninja with John, Eric and Yvonne yesterday.
For the first part of the show I was hiding behind my jacket. I think the sound effect made by Yvonne and I are far better than those in the movie.
I like the fighting scenes but I don't like it when I see heads disappearing and lots of blood, digging out of rib cages and disgusting heart look alike stuffs. I don't think this is the kind of movie I would watch if I had to pay. No one pays to scare themselves. That would be quite saddistic right!
The stupid leader keep saying the same lines " I am your father, and you are my son. Do not bring shame to the family" All this makes sense, until he GOT his son to kill people for things like their watch. Which father in his right mind would get his son to kill. Insane.
I don't mind horror but not gore.
I end up concluding that Rain isn't hot, only his body is. |

I hate it when the guys have exams because they would be so buried in their books and spend million of hours mugging hard.
Then here I am, connected to the world....constantly researching for them, all because other than their exams, they got no time to think of anything else.
Then when I am busy with my fyp, they are free. They would spend millions of hours trying to tempt me to get out of work and embark on a shopaholic journey or catch some movies they know I have been yearning to watch and chill somewhere at town (play pool, chit chat, listen to a live band)
I wonder why where there are guys who are more enthu about shopping them me. They go crazy over sales and they know where good food, drinks and clothes are. I guess I should get them to compile a list of good shopping hangouts for me before they enter NS. I should get use to shopping myself soon. |

I feel quite half hearted about this.
On one hand, I really want to serve. And its back up...so it won't be that bad. But on the other end, I struggle with all my "what ifs".
What if....I don't sing well enough? What if....I get jelly feets on the stage? What if....I don't know the songs?
Yet, the more "what ifs" appear, the more I am pointed back to the cross. To the person who died on the cross..being reminded that its not about me but all about him. Not what I can do but what he can do through me.
Praying for all the practices we'll be having.
I believe this would be a learning process...and I'm eager to hear God speak to me personally. It would be an exciting december |

| I refuse to tear in front of all of you |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|10:22 pm] |
I miss yeye, I miss yeye, I miss yeye!
I tried so hard to keep the tears back....but then they come all out again.
When I read Pris blog I felt like tearing again.....the tears flowed out while I struggle to wipe it away. I told myself to be strong. I told myself that this would pass....yet my heart feels so heavy and burdened and all I want to do is to hide away and spend some time alone. This goodbye has been really difficult.....feels so terrible.....like a part of me was gone as well....
It feels so bad and terrible... |
|
|
| Saying goodbye requires so much out of me. |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|11:38 pm] |
I cannot bear to see the lifeless body in the coffin. A part of me refuses to say goodbye.
I thought maybe if I refuse to, you would come back to life again. Then I realize, you wouldn't. Can you hear me over the coffin?
Goodbyes are just so difficult to say...and it requires so much courage. I'm sorry I'm timid...the words cannot come out of my mouth.
Thank you for all the little snippets you left behind. And for being in so much chapters of my life. You may not be able to see me grow up any longer, but the memories of you will always remain. You will always be in my heart. |

| One of the hardest goodbye to mutter... |
[Nov. 24th, 2009|09:53 pm] |
He cycles to Auntie Mary's house almost every other day when I was still in secondary school bringing containers of food for his grandchildren.
Sometimes, he sit at a corner outside and talks to me while he drinks. He shows me little tricks and tell me story about his trips. He smiles when he talks about his grandchildren and he always laughs at the same old joke about me.
When he comes over I'll always greet him loudly. "爺爺，你來了" but now I will never get the chance to do that again. I would never hear him saying "Ah le, stupid hor" to Gideon anymore because I don't recognise what tabacco is when I was younger.
He may be priscilla's grandpa but he was never an outsider. He was so close to us that we even had reunion dinner together before.
I saw him trying so hard to breathe when I went to the hospital the other day. I felt so scared and sad when I heard that his illness was serious. I ran to Priscilla's workplace to get her before rushing down with her. I stood outside the ICU and saw him weak and unconcious with so many tubes all around.
Now that he is gone, I wished I had went beside him to tell him how much I appreciate the little things he had done. And what a wonderful grandpa he has been.
Praying that my cousins and family would be strong in this difficult time. And that the Lord would always comfort them and wipe their tears. I know he would live in our hearts forever...and the memories are there to stay.
I wished the tears won't come but it did. This is one of the hardest goodbye I had to say...and it took so much determination for me to get it out. I wishedgoodbyes could be simplified. |

I haven't been see his news splatter on the headlines for a very long time already and just when I am about to forget about the existence of such a bright and talented actor (minus his scandals) , we had to do a little something on his "imitation"
It's been such a long time and I guess he should be back really soon.
Whatever the scandals really are, it should really be over and forgotten. If we are so willing to give prisoners a second chance not knowing if they are remorseful or not, why not Edison who has shown his utmost remorse and is apologetic of what has been done. For someone who is able to pick himself up and stand up again under the scrutizing eyes of the public media, it is never easy.
Especially when they are people around who are ever ready to put him down again ensuring that in this life he would never suceed. For if us, mere people find it difficult when we don't have be under thousand pairs of eyes what more him?
Thousand pairs of eyes to him is really an understatement. A wrong is a wrong, yes. But a wrong can always be put right. |

| My dear Tenor! |
[Nov. 12th, 2009|03:43 pm] |
Tenor was just a hand size when he first came home with us. He was 7 weeks old. In a blink of eyes, he's 5 months now...still the apple of all our eyes. He's bigger in size now and jumping out of cage doesn't result in our looks of amazement anymore. He's so big now that he can't fit into his doggie bag so he doesn't go out often. He's like a house dog. But yesterday, Tenor surprised us by walking on two hind legs towards mom. We got all excited and decided to make him do it again and again until he got quite sick of us and the snack we were holding on to. Then he jumped up to the massage chair in the room and slept there till daybreak. He was such an adorable sight because he was still and feeling so comfortable. Right now, the only thing that would get us all excited again would be when he knows how to poo-pee in the toilet without accidents (or without us forgetting to open the door) In case of such cute instances, I got my camera ready to capture the moments.
Having a puppy could have been one of the most wise decision the family ever had. Maybe during our next family meeting, I could raise a proposal of having another one. This time, a maltese. |

I am suppose to be on my way to school now but it's okay, let me finish writing this.
Semester two of school has been very good so far. I enjoyed most of the lesson - except events management. And interestingly, I began to discover the wonders of words and understanding the impact of visuals. I appreciate the beauty of how an article can be so neat and organized. The final year project has been going well too and the girls are having better chemistry with one another. The whole process of working together and sweating things out are far beyond what words can express.
The next thing that I have been busy with would be meta publicity in RP. Now my whole brain just contain the information of meta. Since I am speaking of this, I should just make use of this blog space as well. Meta would be on 28-31 Dec 2009 @ Salvation Army. It's 140SGD for early birds and there's this Tee design competition going on. For details : www.meta.sccc.org.sg, alternatively, if you are a RP student, you can head to facebook group- RP campus crusade for Christ or drop an comment! (:
I am truly enjoying school now. It has never been so much fun. I feel like I'm on a new discovery journey every single day . |

| 50th Anniversary part II |
[Nov. 3rd, 2009|02:19 am] |

Everyone turned into chatterboxes that night. As the photographer, I had the opportunity to capture the moments.
As I walked around the tables to take pictures of the people, I stop to eavesdrop on their conversation as well. It was a night of smiles, everyone looked exceptionally beautiful and it feels as though it was a wedding.The aunties came dressed in their cheong-sam and dresses enhanced with accessories while the uncles came in blazers. The youths were constantly screaming for photographers to strike their new poses.
I wanted to do a fashion police kind of thing by getting people to pose for individual shots but I realize that that was quite a tedious and impossible task judging by the amount of people who came.
As for the food, the youth agreed that it was so much better than the ones we always had on 31st Dec and we love the duck and soft shell crabs.
Seeing the people returning was a sight but looking at the smiles behind my lens was what warm my heart that night. I never knew what it was like to see a sea of smiling people till that night came. It was as though everyone was smiling at me and the happiness just feel so contagious. |

| Will you go? |
[Nov. 1st, 2009|11:45 pm] |
If God ask you to go to a mission field.
If he says leave your comfort zone, your friends, everything you have...pack and go. Stay there for a year or two or three. will you go? I had this question in mind after I told my church leaders about my plans to either embark into a full time minstry on mission fields targeting at children and youths or study and still go on mission trips during my break.
When I sat down to think seriously on the baggages that I may have, I realize that my biggest consideration would be my parents. I need faith to go. They need faith to let me go.
Yet my heart believes that if God calls, then he would lead. And I'm excited to hear him call.
Although I may have fear but I love and know that the one who has my blue print knows it best. And if he would open the door, he would lead me every step even if its just a small and tiny one.
If he calls you, will you go? |

| Who sets the rule? |
[Oct. 30th, 2009|07:53 pm] |
|
This was one of the pictures that the class used today for our video. While compiling all these pictures up, I started to wonder - who actually set all these rules? And why.
Then I went on to ponder over the many whys I can come with about Singapore's step-by-step education.
You have to go for PSLE, then O levels, get either your A level cert or Diploma and then University. Who actually comes up with the sequence? Nowadays, without the Uni certification, you are like nothing. The world determines your value by your brains and looks, as much as you hate to admit.
But as for me, I left it all to God to determine my value. Who in this world is able enough to determine how much I am worth except the one that created me.
What about you? Who sets your rule? |

This reminded me that the guys are really going to NS soon.
I can totally not imagine what it would be like.
And if they cut botak now, not only are they preparing themselves for NS, they are also preparing us to get ready for their new look and to learn to depend ourselves already . Which simply means, they are not a sms away anymore, not a phone call away, not always around.
I think we would kind of miss them somehow. Especially when we have no male kaki(s) for mahjong and no male companion(s) to go out at late nights. Two years in NS would buff them up but on the other hand,it would also toughen up the girls! When the guys come out from NS they would realize that their female friends have also undergone a whole series of tough training.
I guess, that is a rather scary thought to look forward too. |

I think I am very fickle minded.
I cannot have the same blog skin for long period.
Anyway, its not that I really like this skin but its just because I cannot find any that can captivate me yet.
Sigh! |

| I feel so loved. (: |
[Oct. 26th, 2009|02:26 pm] |
I feel overly loved. Thanks to all the people who took time to plan and surprise me, ambush me and etc. I know how hard it is to plan something and I am so thankful that you all took time to make my birthday such a celebration. I am so overwhelmed by what you all have done that I feel like tearing. I really don't deserve all of it, but you guys made me feel as though I am at the top of the world. (: Thanks for all the time you all took, the love, and I'm speechless beyond words. I don't know how to describe the crazy feeling for the past 7 days meeting up with different people and celebrating my birthday with all of you. It was really an experience. And eating and laughing and joking and playing with you all is just fabulous. I enjoyed all your companions. It feels as though I have been to many places within 7days. I had satisfy all my cravings. Pasta mania, pizzahut, sushi, minds cafe, with a pinch of salt, jack's place, 18chef... chocolate cake, strawberry shortcake, vanilla cake, strawberry cake, fruit cake, cupcakes, tiramisu, brownies....wow. I feel like a glutton. Then all the birthday songs at wierd places like the school pantry and crazy elephant.. from the crusaders, from the family, from the sweet girls, from the fyp team, from the primary school clique, from P and G, from Ariel... Thank you all! Thank you all for allowing me to feel so loved. I had a really blessed, happy and awesome 19th. (and I don't feel a bit older) The best thing is, I get to make many wishes. I love you people! <3 |

I was on my way to church as per usual .
The only unusual thing was : T was smsing me throughout and he kept asking funny questions.
Then when I alighted at Eunos and (was rushing late).
I SAW one bunch of people singing the traditional birthday songloudly while walking towards my direction. I started to look around to see if there's anyone else or was this a joke...then I saw my p school clique!!!!!!ZZZZZZZ!
Haha!
My P school clique came. All 7 of them! Touched!
They did a lot of silly things to make me embarrass and was prepared to throw flour on me till I mention something about being late. It was so rushed that I didn't even take a picture with them. They passed me gifts and the cake because they didn't wanna eat and talk for a bit before parting ways.
I'm starting to miss them now.
They are the best surprise ever. (:
And thanks. I love the balloons, notebooks, cookies, cake and keychains. Oh and Sam, you know me well...I love the discs. (:
The cutest thing Dion said was "Sorry,the guys don't know what to get, but we guess cookies works wonder, so we got you one box of it"
And they are right. Cookies are the best. And the box looks super elegant and nice. (: I like! I 'm so going to get another one myself. ;P |

| Sion Christian Church 50th Anniversary |
[Oct. 23rd, 2009|12:07 pm] |
WHAT A NIGHT IT WAS!
All the people came back. Even those who went to different church now. And each one of them have their own tale to tell, of their memories they have in church or with a certain someone..
Some found their life partner here, Some found life purpose but whatever it is I learnt that even though people leave the church, their heart doesn't. ..we count our blessings in church, talk about our thanksgiving, shared about our passion and wish that time wouldn't pass that quickly. We took plenty of photos, we made promises to meet up more, we showed sincere concern and love for the people who left us and we made tribute to people who passed away.
The church 50th anniversary was a night to remember.
It's the 4th generation already
We saw grandparents -sons &daughter - son & daughters' children and the line continue
We saw the older youths dating to getting married to having kids now! And how their kids are in my Sunday School class.
Whilst the rest of us who were there.. ...we had all our family members there.
"This church is not just a church, we are a family"
This church saw me through PSLE, O LEVELS and gave me chance to serve...Sunday school, Youth, CG leader, Worship leader, backup singer, PA., Choir and even now official cameragirl. Appointing me to take the pics was a great encouragement to me and looking at the smiles behind the lens make my heart feel warm. (: |

| My amusing aunties |
[Oct. 13th, 2009|10:51 pm] |
My aunts are being very nice these days.
My mother's sister ( also my eldest aunt ) added me on msn a week ago. I was quite surprised because she "hated" technology. But apparently, due to the influence of her nieces -according to her, she got into msn and facebook to know more about us on cyber world.
She msned me when I was in class today to arrange for a dinner date because she wanted to fellowship with me and my cousins. How cute!:) And how the nieces is in for a good and shiok treat! :)
Then my mother's youngest sister msned me in the noon to jio me to play viwawa mahjong with her and her friends. 4 players. Talk about random things that get you all amused and shock, she really got me today. HAHA!
Just when I thought all my shock is over already...
I went home unwrapping a parcel from my Dad's sister ( my second aunt) and was very shocked to see a very nice glittering globe inside. I wanted a globe when I was young but I always didn't managed to get one that fits what I like. Amazingly , my aunt bought me the exact globe that I had on my mind.
I spend 1hour today looking at the globe and watch the glitter fall over and over again. I just find it so pretty and amusing that I refused to let my mom display it outside the dining room. I'm going to place it beside my bed for good. :) P said I was silly, but I am seriously not bothered. Unless he gets me another globe. HAHA! :)
I think my aunts are all so adorable. They give me surprises when I least expected it. :)
And other thing, turning 19 may not be a bad thing. My aunts are now all arranging to make dates with me. And I am looking foward to having one-to-one dates with them so that I can eat alot...but most importantly bond with them . Miss all our bonding moments at home. :) Looking foward to next family gatheringgggggggg. :) |
