I'VE MOVED :)

And it's F.O, so sorry! Sign up for LJ


Finally, there is NEWS

Posted on 2009.05.09 at 00:00
I just wanted a response. That's all I asked.

I can never spill my tears during times of happiness. Elaine can, very well!  But upon seeing that email and realising it wasnt JUNK MAIL, I was so delirious I started crying. Called Chai, Peixin, Lydia, Elaine, Leon, Denise, Brenda, Denisey, Py, Ama to break the news to them. I wasnt really comprehensible on the phone! And many of them thought something happened ( must be associated with my sister haha ).

I'm so happy really. Thank You Lord, for this opportunity. It's so depressing when people all around you ask 'Any news?' And my reply each time is just a sad expression together with a shake of head. And as weeks past, faith in God, faith in myself, started to evaporate. Many times I prayed 'Lord, wherever you lead, I will go. It doesnt matter where, because...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:11-12 


This verse kept me holding it altogther the entire time.

Thank you everyone for the congratulations and wonderful advice you've given me. Lydia was the besttttttttttt. Thank you for feeling happy for me and giving me all the help you can get! Tzer Jing gave me a really useful forum! :D Peixin sent me one lost string of text message and ended off with saying dont dress too casually, it's better to be overdressed then underdressed. And after calling Baby she said she forgotten to congratulate me cause the entire time she was complaining why didnt I call her first. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO I CALLED FIRST.

I cried so hard I have a really bad sore eye now. And Jie forbid me to go see Leon tomorrow cause she wants me to prepare. I'll meet him on Sunday and he can tell me his secret of smoking his way through! :)

Keep me in your prayers.

xx

I don't know about tomorrow;
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.



CLOSER anyone?

Posted on 2009.04.26 at 22:11
Anna: Why are you dressed?
Larry: Because I think you may be about to leave me and I didn't want to be wearing a dressing gown


Larry: And on some small level, I think you owe me something for deceiving me so exquisitely. ( My favourite quote in this movie. )

Alice:You still fancy me?
Dan: ...Of course.
Alice: You're lying. I've been you

Anna: Why is the sex so important?
Larry: Because I'm a fucking caveman!

Clive Owen as Larry
Julia Roberts as Anna
Natalie Portman as Alice
Jude Law as Dan.

Perfect combination.
Witty dialogue.
I have the DVD.

Amazing Love

Posted on 2009.04.16 at 20:02
Sing it as a prayer

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted,
You were condemned.
I am alive and well,
Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.

Amazing love,
How can it be
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do, I honor You

I will go there and back again.

Pretty much spend my day online looking at pretty stuff. Chanced upon a diary lj which then made me feel like digging out all my old stuff -primary, secondary school journals, letters ( Pei jue! ), gifts and little post its and pictures.

This was on the website. Lots of people use moleskin journals.

This is mine. Started in Primary 4! 

And this is proof that I was smitten with Daniel Radcliffe like in Primary 6 :D Am still smitten. But he's short :(

Tuesday's Special.

Posted on 2009.02.17 at 23:14


I got a call from a school, just when I had plans. Oh wells. Just gotta hope for tomorrow.

Met Gap at Far East Gelare! First time he waited for me. Actually I reached first and he was 35 minutes late cause he went to Lot 1 toilet to make his hair. So vain! Had Turkish Delight ice cream with waffle and he had his apple crunch waffle. Half way, he left when he saw his friend from far and came back with a list of University courses and the grades to qualify. Plenty of triple As. Gosh. Only an occasional C and rarely, a D. I promised that I wont tell him my A's results if he calls.

Walked around town and he actually complained that his feet hurt! Who's the one that has the 'finished of 42. blah blah km'.

Love talking about Sec school days and also, about the future with him. And I got to know a new thing about him today. FRESH. And there was this part, when we were about to part, I brought up the subject about flavoured smoking and gave the example of strawberry flavour. And he went 'why do condom have flavour? People should just go suck a lollipop instead'. I cracked up.

Thanks Gap for sending me off to the station even though your feet hurt. You should try being a girl and wear heels next time :)

Trained down to Vivo to meet Chai. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I carried her present on tenterhooks. I even bubble wrapped it! When Gap offered to carry it for me I went 'NO IT'S FRAGILE'. I protected it more fiercely than a mother protecting a baby. Settled for Marche cause Vivo's boring and it'll be Chai's first time. I told Chai to 'open' it and it came off :( at her hands. Whew. Hahaha good thing I brought Superglue!
We went to the deck to take some photos and Chai taught me how to take unblur shots. Am still working on it haha.
Had Secret recipe for dessert. Chai loves her cheesecake. Havent been catching up with her and I often went 'I thought I told you!' ( rather indignantly ) or 'Did I tell you'  and she will reply NO!!! STOP SAYING THAT. And so I recounted all about the experience of teaching primary school kids and day to day stuff.




HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAYS YOU TWO! <3

The foreign kids were really really sweet. ( different from another class of monsters ) I taught them chinese for a day and the next day, they came to class with colour papers and pencil and one of them bought some stuff from the bookshop. Pasted all their little notes on a board :) They reminded me of Thai Mission Trip! Cant wait for June's.

They're the closest I ever got. They didnt rub against me :(

Shepherd and Bailey


Derek: My perfect little life. Have you been paying attention at all?

Miranda: Yeah, I pay attention. I pay attention! I pay attention to people in all walks of life, all types. I notice people. I see people. It's guys like you who don't see people like me.

Derek: I don't see you?
Miranda: I'm not talking about you, Shepherd. Just guys like you. Who don't see girls like me. We don't exist for you. We exist to do your homework! We exist to build your ego up... I am a successful married mother. I am chief resident, I am CHIEF resident of a major metropolitan hospital! I am a surgeon, who saved his life today! And he still doesn't see me... I may as well still be that high school girl with the mushroom haircut and the coke bottle glasses and the band uniform. The girl who didn't get to go to homecoming dance cause it didn't even occur to him to ask me. All those late nights tutoring him, and it didn't even occur to him to ask?

Derek: Mmm. Band uniform. Really?
Miranda: Do I look like I wanna be mocked by you right now?

Derek: No, you don't. I'm just gonna say one thing. In high school, I was 110 pounds, and I hadn't yet figured out hair product, so I had a big afro. And, um, I had acne... and I too, wore a band uniform. Sax.

Miranda: Oboe.

Derek: I would have been honored to take a girl like you to homecoming

I love Bailey's long speeches.

I feel a surge of love tonight. Maybe it's because I get to talk to everyone I love online and in text messages :)
Thank you Lord for Lydia, Denise CHONGYANG, Py, Gap and Chai. For making me feel that way tonight.
Talking to them is always my favourite time of the day.

This morning, I made my way down to Phoenix, climbed that awful bridge, walked up like 2 slopes and ended up at Denise's :D
Yayyyyyyyyyy. It's been like how long since I crossed the threshold.  We finally had our LOTR marathon!! (after how many years ) Actually it was quite a failed one cause I had to leave at like 5 to collect my spree stuff. I love Denise's house. It somewhat gives me the warm feeling just like how Harry felt in Ron's house. It's brilliant :) Although twerpy may disagree cause there's so many birds and their droppings and their squakkings. Yes, lots of parrots! No wonder she turn out to be that iriritating. Bought cookies, sandwiches and wine to her place and we ate till we were so full. Her dad was nice to help move the tv to her room :) It was fun saying the dialogue before the characters, squealing at Aragon and screaming whenever Eowyn face appeared on the screen. She is hideous and she's not even a contender lah. Gross x1000000000.
And we remembered small details like Gandalf hitting his head on some wood, the arrows shot at the fellowship in Moria ( the lamest and Denise remembered that ).
Eowyn is so disgusting. We totally shrieked when she sang the mournful song. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW.
And King Theoden was killed by his own horse in the 3rd show, how stupid can that be?
And Frodo's the most loser of all, he dropped his sword when the Nazgul King came after him.

Our favourite phrases which we'll say every now and then. Yes, we're that retarded ahha. I remember Yelyn felt super irritated during Chinese lessons in sec 2 cos we kept going on about our Smeagol talk :D

Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart

Gollum: You don't have any friends; nobody likes you! 
Smeagol: I'm not listening... I'm not listening... ( covers ears haha )
Gollum: You're a liar and a thief. 
Gollum: *Murderer*. ( we both mouths the exact same way Gollum does )

Gollum: So bright... so beautiful... ah, Precious.

Gollum: Because master did not ask!

Theoden: I know your face, Eowyn.



And the part when Gollum spoke in some rhyme thing, it was hilarious.

Gollum: Cold be heart and hand and bone. Cold be travelers far from home. They do not see what lies ahead, when Sun has faded and Moon is dead.


I just realised I dont have anything to wear to Ah ma's house on Chinese new year. My spree item came in the wrong size but the girl was nice enough to help me deal with it. Oh wells... I'll pick something.

Sorry freddie, not tonight

Thanks marcus. for finally realising I am a girl.


I just finished my first ever tuition :D
Glen, my primary 3 student just lives like 3 blocks away. I dont even need to bring any umbrella or sunglasses. I even prepared my ear piece for a long walk home later. I stoned most of the time while waiting for him to solve the math problems. I should bring something productive to do next time, like Sudoku maybe. And there were 2 maids in his house! Was quite apprehensive and I studied primary 3 math in the morning. I had to go down to the child's level and it's super difficult. I wonder if lower primary school teachers brain capacity shrink after years of teaching.. Like Mom for example. Heh.

I've got 2 calls in a day. Finally there's some results. I've been like looking for jobs the past week. As in tuition. First one's a primary one English. Gender unknown yet but he/she's from China :/ I think the soccer girls will burst out laughing when they hear me conversing on the phone with the Mother. I was trying to sound professional, in Mandarin. I think I failed cause I added a lot of english words like 'twice a week' and I had to think what's sat or sunday called. Yes, I am that retarded. And I had a call from another agency ( I registered with so many I cant keep up what agency is that ) and they say there's 2 k2 kids that need tuition. Initially she said China also and I was like gosh. I asked if they know any basics cause I definitely wont teach them that. The agent got back to me and she said she got it wrong, they're KOREAN!! Whoooo. Hui ying, no need learn korean already. I ask them teach haha. There's a Chinese caretaker doing the family's business and we talked. She told me to talk to one of them and gosh, super cute!! I found out that they were twins or something and they love colouring. And I've got to do with them? The girl's super cute. I couldnt catch her name cos she was baby talking. She said her favourite colour is purple and her sis's is pink. And I am not fond of kids at their age, but I think I'll like them :) THE PAY SUCKS BTW. But oh wells, I shant say anymore. Mom was being really annoying saying I am so foolish to take up that cos I need to travel. But it's near Church and I like Bukit Timah. The father owns the korean place opposite the shopping centre and the house is directly above. Quite cool I guess. Will be seeing them on Monday. Cant wait!

edit/
gosh whole week super packed.

Monday: DENISES!!! CHONGYANG. And at 7pm KOREAN TWINS!
Tues: Primary 1 English 730 to 9pm
Wed: Glen Math 3 to 430pm
Thursday: Appointment at 805am, Glen English at 2 to 330pm and rush down for Korean twins at 4.30pm  to 6pm
Friday: Lydia!!
Sat: Glen Math 2 to 330pm
Sunday: Sabbath.


Yesterday I had a fun time with Lydia :D We met and did our Bible study together. ( there's evidence hahahha PHOTOS PLEASE! ) Every friday!! Gosh, I saw the terrible side of Lydia Lau when I showed her Marcus's text message. Is so scaryyyyyyyyyy. Goodness me. She clawed her way through just to call him. Tsk tsk. Read our story books and just lazed around at Starbucks. Ahhh, how nice if life's like that! Grabbed a snack and we headed down to Esplanade busstop. Lydia's favourite song is How to save a life and mine's StraightJacket feeling! Most of Lydia's fave songs dont apply in real life while mine do :) It was a long bus ride to Church and I was dyingggggg.

Anyway today's a happy day cause I met the soccer girls! :D Mom drove to WM and I went to get the assessment books for Glen and just nice they were in Macs. Poor Chai. Eh no, Chai's super cool now! She has 2 cuts near her eye. It'll be a cool scar, Chai! She's so jealous I got my korean. Haha okay lah next call I reccommend you k :) She's another paedophile.

 I am currently waiting for Lydia Lau to appear. 


I know that I should be brave
even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
until the day we finally learn how to find each other
redefining open minds

and if you ask me
the feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed
and it's golden, it goes to show then
the ending of this song should be left alone
and so on cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told

Prettiest friend - Jason Mraz.

The song's for you. No questions.
(Thanks Lydia for introducing the song!)

And it gets on my nerves when people like to separate friends/couples/lovers who are totally meant to be together. I've got enough of that. Seriously. And I am so gonna tell you, in your face. I have had enough.

come sail away with me

Oh and these northern nights they're dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
He'll love and guide and lead us
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong.

Thanks Denise for the song :) Both versions of Dolly and David are nice.

I dont feel any changes despite knowing 2009 will be the year of change. A's results and the path after that will determine what life will be like afters. I'm not scared anymore. I'll go wherever God takes me to.


'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11



I dont feel like socialising nowadays. Even a phone call seems so tiring. Sorry Kevin. I didnt answer and when Gap called, I gave an excuse of sleeping early. And nowadays, I cant summon the energy and enthusiasm to see the girls. Sorry loves. I'm just quite tired. But Lydia's convo is hilariousssssssssss. I was laughing in front of the screen today. Hahaha :)

I'll miss those late nights now that you are away
.

this is the last time

Out of sight, out of mind. Since you werent there for almost the entire month, I guess I can do without you.

I did it. I sent an email. And I'll be waiting, ever waiting, to see the content of the reply.


you only want the ones that you cant get

I should do my reflections soon... It's weird when I force myself or rather, make myself recall what I'm thankful for during the entire year and I cant think of a single thing. I hope it comes naturally. I know I have lots, an endless list of events and incidents I thanked God for. And it's all written down in the 3 fat stacks of journals. Yes, 3 journals just for the past 2 years of Junior College... Sad to say, the first one revolved around a guy along with lots of unhappiness inside due to silly fights with BFF. I haven't reread the 2nd and 3rd one. And I cant remember what they contain... All I know is that I asked a lot from God. And there were plenty of downs inside. Nevertheless, I should review them, soon. Before the year ends. I plan to do it either tomorrow or on Wed. If it's the latter I'll just hang out at a cafe by myself, reflecting. Ah, that will be a perfect day. I hope it wont be crowded then...

Anyway had a good day spent with Denise :) Just like last week, just talking. But today, we had good food in between. I'm really happy to spend the last days of 08 with you.

I realised that I dont listen to a song if it doesnt speak to me. Or if I dont understand the lyrics. There must be a meaning to the song when I listen to it. If otherwise, it's just trash to me. Haha, you guys should see the playlist in my phone. I used to dance to Michael Buble's Everything. It was my drug in 07. But now, I cant bear to hear a line of it because I no longer understand a word of it.


Desperado,
why dont you come to your senses.
You been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one but I know that you got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin you can hurt you somehow.

Dont your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
it's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin all your highs and lows
Aint it funny how the feeling goes away?



This song is timeless.



The greatest gift of all

Posted on 2008.12.25 at 21:51
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives.

As the years went by we learnt more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means.

Visited Gran today and Jie brought along her Korean drama. It was in chinese and there wasnt any english subtitles but I understood it. Yay. Mom dropped us off at Causeway and we caught Australia. HUGH JACKMAN!! Jie kept saying he's fat :( I love the part when he shaved. He looked much younger. Presently, he's 40. Sigh. Anyway the show was super long. 165 minutes. Close to 3 hours. There were many complications and after everything was over and everyone's happy, Jie checked her hp and it was 330. An hour more to go. Haha, she wanted to walk out cos it's too draggy. I love you Hugh. Merry Christmas XOXO.

I cleared my last cupboard today. Found Baby's past year christmas present - Steven Gerrard Poster. Huge one. She said she walked to some dodgy place just to get it. Felt very sorry for her cause I dont support any football club and I cant possibly give it to my liverpool fanatic friends cos she put in so much effort! And I also found a teddy bear Dad bought for me long time ago. I'm gonna sun it soon, it has a musty smell. Also there's a bracelet from Jie yong. It's quite kiddy ( colourful hearts )but I like it. I wore it the moment I saw it.

I cant find 07 Chrismas cards. Dieeeee. I only found a stack of cards from sec sch days. And I tried deciphering the signatures! Cant tell who gave them cos they didnt write their name on the envelope and I have no recollection too. Sucks. Anyway, I love finding old letters and cards and gifts. I found one letter written by Lydia in '06. And guess what's your first paragraph is about huh. 

My hair's really annoying. I feel like chopping them off again. And Denise, I just found Breaking Dawn in my treasure chest! Meet up soon so I can pass to you okay :)

Merry Christmas to all of you!
XOXO
