new record

I studied psych for about 7 hours in a row. WOW! That has seriously got to be my longest time ever, just sitting down and studying.

I'M BECOMING A NERD AND I'M PROUD OF IT! WOOHOO

STRESSSSSS

Ok I'm ultra stressed now and when I'm stressed, I can't study or do anything. So I'm here to calm my anxious heart.

I'VE SO MUCH TO STUDY FOR PSYCH BY TMR!!! Seriously, having no proper psych teacher really sucks you know. It's so hard to study on your own. I rather be spoon fed and know everything well. Now I've to slowly learn, then revise. I don't have the time for that.

Oh top of that, the formal is kinda stressing me out as well. So much fill ins to remember and so little time to actually practice. I can't practice tonight because of psych, and I can't do it tomorrow as well because I've an Accounting SAC on Thursday. And the formal is on Friday. Sigh.

STRESS LAH!!!!!

I need to just clear my head and focus.

Into Your hands, I commit again

To MG

With loving hearts and joyous song we sing to MGS...

So mg just celebrated her 121th anniversary, and yeah, I'm kinda upset that I could not go for the founder's day service. But God has a plan for me, and I'm sure He has a reason for not letting me go.

I really want to thank the Lord for placing me in mg. Those 10 years of my live has certainly been the best so far. To start of with, I really love the fact that mg had a strong Christian atmosphere. I really liked how we had morning devotions everyday and chapel on a weekly basis. There is also a parent support group that will pray for you if you need so and somehow, all these make me feel really comfortable. The annual DJW also contributes to my spiritual growing. So basically, I'm really glad that God placed me in a mission school. Yeah, it may have been really sheltered, but if I were given a choice to go back in time and change all these, I would have still chosen mg. And there's no doubt about it.

Secondly, the teachers have really been encouraging. I mean I have had my share of really unreasonable teachers and teachers that just drive me up the wall. But overall, I must say that the teachers in mg are really loving and all. Especially in sec 3 and 4. Perhaps it was because those were our major years in mg, but when I just sense the concern our teachers had for us, it made me really touched.

Mg has also given me many other skills. Through mainly LTC, handbells and 3i/4i, I have gained leadership skills. Not forgetting the 'lessons' we had outside classes, such as fine dining and all that kind of funny things. I guess at that point of time, we won't see much sense in it. But as we get older, these skills will start to apply to us more. I can still remember that lady that will go, "Martin.. Luther.... King.. I had a dream... A leader knows the way, goes the way and shows the way" and how we will constantly make fun of her by mimicking her. Those good old days.

And on top of all those, the one thing that mg has given me that I hold really close to my heart, is all those fond memories. Like in primary school, it seemed like some tradition to bring the P1s to the back of the school and say that there's a witch there. The clock tower was ALWAYS haunted. The friendships made that will last through the ages. The fact that handbells was the BOMB! The fire drills we had and how we always tried to use them to escape common tests. The really retarded mini fairs we have every year. Our most pathetic half days (half an hour off is considered very good) The school events we had to attend (and how when you gather a few handbellers together, they turn it into an opportunity for a picnic) The squeals from the girls as birds fly pass the canteen. The non stop vomiting and fainting of the primary school girls. The really fun prefect duties I had in P6. Hopscotch while waiting for parents. The pregnant woman outfit... The list just goes on and on and on.

And now, I've officially graduated from mg, even though I wasn't at the ceremony. Honestly, I really really miss mg. I mean, how can I not? I've been studying there 10 years of my life. Well I guess I'm really proud to proclaim that I'm from mg! And I so wouldn't mind turning back time, just to relive those precious memories.

So yeah, Thank You Lord for placing me in mg.

This is for friendships made and pleasure shared, and lessons learned apace. I will never forget all those times I had in mg! And I hope future batches will feel the same way too :)



Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMOS!!

Videos

Got this from Ben. It never fails to make me laugh despite the number of times I've watched it (which is countless.. ok that's because I never count. Ok that was lame)



And I just got think from Gerald. Haha. This old lady amuses me!!

Amazing Love

To find the discipline to just sit down and do some work in preparation for the test tomorrow actually feels good. At least I'm not wasting time and am doing something more meaningful. I just have to make sure I keep this discipline with me and study really hard for all my tests, SACs and exams! I know I can do it and so I shall!

This time I'm really not going to live to regret it. I'm going to be proud of myself no matter what (well, that is if I keep this up and more)


I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well Your spirit lives 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 honour You
In all I do, I honour You

You are my King
Jesus You are my King

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TAIL BEAR!

(I don't care, I want to use this photo!)

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY RYAN LEONG TAIL BEAR!!!

You're no longer a teenager but it's ok. Haha.
Because, you're not that old yet!

Anyway, have a blessed birthday!
Enjoy your 365 days before you turn into a young adult!

To Mghandbells '08

Dear Mghandbells '08

Tomorrow is the big day huh? And yeah, I just wanna say, BREAK A LEG! (Ok dear girls, not literally, as in good luck.. Understand tiffany?!) But yeah, do your best out there and make everyone wow at mghandbells!

Anyway, when I was back in Singapore for those 2 weeks, I've heard and seen you all practice 4 times and yeah, I got to say that you all really did very well. I got to say that you have exceeded my expectations by a lot and that I'm very proud of you. And seriously, you get to play such cool songs, don't let those songs down! Haha.

And most importantly, remember that you're not just any handbells choir. Mghandbells is much more than that. You're from MGhandbells choir(shut up all you non mghandbellers! Especially those who don't even play handbells) and that we ring for the joy of the Lord. Trust God to make your performance special and the best performance you had so far. You all are capable of that so do not let your talents go to waste. Commit the whole thing into God's hands and trust that He'll bring you all through.

You all may start to get nervous and jittery before the whole thing but don't worry because you are more than ready. And besides, the audience never knows the mistakes that you make so don't worry. So long as you do your best, nothing else really matters.

And dear girls, PLEASE SMILE!!! Remember what I said. The song will sound sad if you look sad. The songs are all meant to be happy, maybe a bit heart stopping, but definitely not sad. So SMILE!!! Show everyone that you enjoy performing. Besides you're doing this for the Lord, a bit for man, but mainly for the Lord. So remember, SMILE!!!!

And remember the roses I gave and ALL THE FOOD you all practically ate, it came with a pact. You are not supposed to let me down ah. Go out there and enjoy yourself yeah. Do your best and no matter what, whether the song was full of mistakes or not, we'll find a way to laugh about it later.

So yeah, ALL THE BEST FOR TOMORROW! I expect to hear from all of you how it went yeah? And remember to have fun out there! I'll be supporting you from down under (Melbourne!)

And when I come back at the end of the year, we can all go out together and have a really late celebration for it. Haha.

Remember, Mghandbellers ring for the joy of the Lord! :)

Love your coolest senior
Monica:)

All those who don't do handbells are not entitled to give any negative comments.

Happy Birthday Best Friend!!

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

Another year older
Another year wiser
Another year closer to death (haha)

Wow, I've known you for 17 years already. So fast eh? Anyway this is for many many more years to come, that we'll know each other and stay best friends FOREVER! So we can be BFFs! Like forever and ever and ever!!! Love you loads!

May God bless you on this special special day! And yeah, it's so sad that I can't be in Singapore now, but don't worry, I'll make it up to you some day!

Welcome to the club (meant for people who have turned 17!)

xoxo :)

17 July

Today felt so wasted. I really don't like being sick. I have no energy for anything..

Let's see, I slept, woke up, blogged, went to the doctors where I waited for a looonng time. ON THE PLUS SIDE! I didn't pay for consultation! WOOHOO!! I didn't get cheated again like last time. haha. BULK BILLING! Haha. I saw Charmaine there and she fell into the trap, whereby she had to pay. haha.

Then I bought the cable to connect my printer to my com. How stupid is it that they don't provide the cable with the printer and I bought paper and a really late lunch. I was wondering why my stomach felt weird. Haha.

And then I set up the printer and am now in the midst of spring/winter cleaning. Haha. I shall attempt to study math methods and further math later. Sigh. Maths overload. But exams are going to come really soon. Like if I am going to be back in Singapore soon, that means exams are going to be sooner. Sigh. Another whole round of non stop mugging.

Oh that means I need to start storing my things outside the hostel. Anyone want to be so nice as to offer their place? Haha.

Oh and I watched Mama Mia on tuesday and it was really good. I really enjoyed it and so won't mind watching it again. I'm going to buy the DVD! and the soundtrack! The show made me feel really really happy. I felt so good after watching it. Haha. Ok that may have sounded weird but yeah. GO WATCH IT EVERYONE!!

Ok, back to spring/winter cleaning

Didn't go school

I woke up this morning not feeling a bit better but felt that I should go to school. Then I realised I could not even get myself out of bed and didn't even have the energy to stand up. Yet I forced myself to wash up and then I had some debate with myself if I should go or not.

In the end, I called my parents who told me not to go. So yeah. After a while I went back to sleep. And yes, here I am now, awake and my throat feels horrible. I still need to get enough energy to go to the doctor. Sigh. More money spent. BUT I'M GETTING BULK BILL THIS TIME!

Ok I've nothing else to say

Fever?

Oh I think I know why I'm feeling so sleepy and not so well.

I think I am running a fever.

BAHH! That is really really bad! NOOOOO

sleepy

I don't know what has gotten into me. I'm just so so tired. And now my throat is hurting like crazy.

But it's strange, like, I slept quite a bit after school, and I just woke up again. But I'm still so drained. Sigh. Maybe I should just sleep early tonight. Like really early. Haha.

Ok I'm just blogging this in hope to get myself awake. Hmmm. WAKE UP MONICA! And go study or something

Dear you

Dear you,

perhaps you'll never know that this post is meant for you. Perhaps you have doubts if this is just for you. But all that doesn't matter. Ok maybe it does, but not to a large extent. (I mean, if this applies to you, then yeah, just treat it like it's meant for you)

I've been noticing stuff. Yes I do notice these kind of things in case you were wondering. and yeah, I guess I can correctly say that you're going through a lot of hurt, a lot of pain. Maybe even a bit of confusion. And I'm not going to say that I really understand what you're going through, because, honestly, I don't. But just know that I'm here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to, someone to cry to or even someone to complain/bitch to, yeah. I'm here.

I know that matters of the heart can really 'kill' and like, it's really a very heavy burden. But then again, I don't really know the exact details so I can't say much. But yeah. If ever you need someone to talk to, you know you can turn to me.

It doesn't have to be when the feeling gets overwhelming. Even if it's like in the middle of the night or whatever, I'm here to listen. Yeah. You may think that I'll laugh it off, but trust me, I won't. Yeah.

Don't bottle up your feelings, let it out. You'll feel much better. It doesn't have to be to me. You don't necessarily have to tell me, just make sure that you don't let those feelings haunt you.

Just know that you're not alone in this yeah. And you're much stronger than you think you are.

Love, me

Evil evil pigeon

Ok, so I'm back to my really boring routine. Haha. Expect I didn't go to school today. Ok so in that case, I officially start my boring routine tomorrow.

Ok so after my previous post, I fell asleep and woke up to some knocks on my door. I thought it was the supervisor so I kept quiet. (oh btw, I like to bury myself under my blanket when I sleep) So then the door opened a bit, and I thought to myself, wah lao, what is so important that they must come in now. And then I knew someone was looking at my bed and then a few seconds later, I heard the toilet door opening and someone going, monica? And I realised it was mush! Haha. Apparently my door wasn't closed properly and for some reason she didn't see me under my bed. Haha. I took quite a while to get up and I went in search for her.

Then we went Big W, Safeway and then Chinatown (for my phone card and to top up my sim card.) Oh and on the way to chinatown, I SAW THE MOST CREEPY PIGEON EVER!!!! You know how when you kick towards a bird, it flies. I know in Australia they don't seem to fly away but to you, but the point is, THEY FLY! This pigeon was round. IT WAS REALLY ROUND OK?! Like some mini soccer ball. And the body was so huge that the neck and head looked like it was stuck inside the body. And it has those red beady eyes and it just glared. AND IT DIDN'T MOVE! It was like some statue. And then I pointed to it, unable to say anything. And soon I started screaming. And so much for protecting me from birds, Mush ran to my other side(away from the bird) once I started screaming. And throughout the whole time, the bird just watched us! I'm serious. That bird is evil!!! Evil I tell you. It wasn't even scared at all. I bet it was thinking of how to attack us or something. And that's why I say, NO ONE SHOULD FEED THE BIRDS! Like seriously, STOP HELPING THEM MULTIPLY!! (Oh and the birds in Singapore, well most of them, look demonic. I think they were possessed)

Ok enough of that. Haha. I don't feel like blogging anymore. Haha.

Oh btw, it's not even THAT cold lah please. I thought it was going to be freezing. But the temp feels exactly like how it was before I left Melbourne. Maybe I'll just have to experience the wind then it'll be cold.

Arrived safely

Ok I've touched down safely already. Now I'm feeling half hungry half sick. Yeah

Oh and my Australia number is currently not working. Yeah. So if there's anything, call my singapore number first or something. I'll deal with everything later. Now, I need to sleep for a while. Yeah

Toodles. More updates later

The matchstick challenge

I woke up so late today but it felt so nice. Haha. I have no eyebags! Haha.

Then I just sat around the house and randomly playing piano once in a while before I decided I would buy flowers for my juniors since I wasn't going to be able to attend the concert. How sweet of me, I know! Haha. And then I couldn't find my wallet and I thought I left it in the car, so I had to take a loan from my mum. And when I reached KAP, she called me and said she found it. So with me wanting my wallet so bad, I travelled all the way back just to get it.

So I went to mg and sat through handbells. I just like doing that. The closest I can get to the bells I guess. Plus I think hearing them prac and then knowing that the final outcome on the day was perfect, makes the whole process more enjoyable. Ok I can't phrase that well.

Ok then after prac, I gave them the flowers. Seriously, all of you. Don't let me down yeah? And show the world that mghandbells is no ordinary handbells choir.

Then I went to seoul garden with Tiffany and Priscilla. Ate quite a bit and Priscilla exclaims at almost everything. Haha. Ok Tiffany did something funny but it's not possible to just type it out. It's the tone that was ultra funny. Haha.

Yeah and apparently they tried to give me a surprise belated birthday. Haha. Yeah I guess it was successful. I mean, who would expect something after her birthday. Like more than a month ago. It was like three watermelons and some random jelly and raisins. Haha. See the video! Priscilla really cannot light the match. And I bet if the spark actually came, she would have exclaimed anyway. Haha.

Yeah. Then after walking around for a while, we all went home. Yeah. Today was really fun and it was like a much needed get together kinda thing. Haha. At the end of the year, EVERYONE should have all these kind of outings. Just not too ex ok.

Ok I need to start getting ready to go back to Melbourne. SIGH. But nevermind. It's only for about 4 months this time round. Yeah. By then everyone should have been done with exams and for almost everyone, school. Yeah. haha.

TOC

When I heard how most of the TOC had a common topic - youth sunday - to talk about, I guess I felt that they shared some kind of bond. Though it was not the whole level, but it's a start. I'm also starting to see them getting closer and closer together, which feels good.

For the longest time, I was just waiting to feel this bond. And they are starting to have it now. Yeah, even though I can't join them in that common topic, but who cares eh? I'm proud of them. Even though I've that selfish feeling but then again right, I've also been waiting for this day to come. Soon we'll be the ultra cool level again. Now we're VERY cool, but then we'll advance to ultra. Ok maybe not we, but at least you all.

Plus, I was the one who 'abandoned' everyone. So yeah. Anyway, it's nice to see all of you getting close to each other. Yeah. Hope the next time I come back, the WHOLE TOC can do something together yeah. This time round it's harder. But yeah, end of the year, you should all be able to right?

flight details

Ok to clear up all the confusion, here is my flight details to return to Melbourne.

13th July (this sunday)
SQ_ _ _ (I forgot.)
T3 (I think)
Flight at about 1130pm?
So I'll be at the airport at about 9pm?

I have absolutely no plans before that, so I have NO idea what's happening. And that's about all the details needed right?

I'll be reaching Melbourne at I have no idea what time but I doubt I'll go to school. Haha. I wonder if my line is still working. If it's not, wow. That's tragic. And super ma fun.

Shopping trip

SHOPPING! A wonderful wonderful remedy.
Expensive of course, but it can make you feel so.. wow.. haha

My mum insisted I got my winter jacket today and we went to OG near Little India. And I finally found one that I like. (Gosh the rest I've been seeing were like. not nice at all) Yeah, I got myself a white puffy one. Haha. And another pinkish jacket, plus those high socks (my mum insisted. Seriously, who wears such high ones?) oh and PINK GLOVES! (mush watch out!!)

So we went to Bugis and had lunch and then more shopping. Haha. Because the shoe I brought back is about to break and I don't have anything else to wear back to Melbourne, I got a new pair of shoes! Converse.... Haha. I need to stop obsessing over shoes. Ok, at least I didn't buy all the cute pair of shoes I saw today. Oh and I got 6 pairs of colourful, normal ankle socks. Haha. It was supposed to be 3 for $8.90. But as usual, with all the pretty colours, I couldn't decide. Then my mum was like, aiyo, just get another 3. And after such a painful decision, I had to let some of them go, but I got the rainbow colours! haha.

Oh and I got nail polish too. Haha. And to top it all off, Papa was in the area and he was heading back home. SO GUESS WHO GOT A RIDE HOME??!!

Ok I need to stop having these crazy shopping trips where I spend so much.(Well most of the stuff was paid for by my mum. But still. Money lehh..) Good thing my mum was there if not I think I would have bought a lot of tops. Haha.

And now, I can to choose what's for dinner. How fun is today?!

BLAH

I just had to blog this.

I feel so so miserable now. Like really miserable. I had been hoping that a day like this won't come, but sigh. I guess I have to face it. It's coming.

I mean, I don't want you all to just like don't do what you're supposed to, just because I think I'll be bored. But like, seriously. What am I going to do? And like, I never felt as if the gap was THAT big. So many things are happening at once and everyone seems to be able to follow that pace. And yet I don't seem to be able to catch up. I feel like I'm lacking behind and I don't know if I've the energy to just continue.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a fairytale. Or rather, I wish that I was. I always construct all those little stories in my head, that never seems to come true. Am I never going to have my happily ever after?

I'm so dreading the 13th of July. I remember dreading it last year as well, with grade 8 piano exam and all, but I shall not start on that. Besides flying off, there's so much more that I really don't want to face right now. I don't know what's wrong with me you know. Like seriously. It's like I'm reverting back to my bad habits again.

Ok I give up. I admit. I need you.

And yea, I admit as well, I need the company. I cannot be alone ok? Call me attention seeking, but whatever. I'm falling back to stage 1. NOO...

Sigh. I'm such a crybaby.

Random info

Ok some random information

1. I'm down with a sore throat AGAIN!
2. My eyes are constantly itchy (I think it has something to do with my hair.)
3. The heat in Singapore is just zapping my energy
4. I'm breaking out more here
5. I'm leaving Singapore this coming Sunday (sigh..)

Ok that's enough for now. Haha. I'm rather bored. Hmm. Oh well. What to do..

Pig and Tail Bear

Haha. Cher took these videos yesterday and it was rather amusing. I really couldn't stop laughing. Haha.

Haha. Ryan, your facial expression is classic lah. Haha.

Anyway, more about yesterday. I ALMOST DIED! Walking to rivervalley primary and back in the HOT HOT HOT SUN from somerset mrt is really not a very desirable thing. Ok, but it was worth it. Not bad eh Gerald. Haha. Ok I don't want to go into every single detail. The walking zapped me of my energy and I'm so tired even until now. Haha.

And ziteng ah. I WANT TO USE YOUR CAMERA THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU ALL THE WAY TILL THE DAY I LEAVE! Haha. Gerald and whoever else has to wait in line. Haha

My one week summary

One whole week has gone by, since I arrived in Singapore. And I must say that I really had a lot of fun, even though I still wish the days would be longer.

Let's see. I shall do a recap. So bear with me. Haha.

Friday
Wahh. It was so hot when I got out of the plane but it was kinda cool to see my friends and family there. Haha. I found out that Sarah Chan was my neighbour and that was rather, surprising. Came back and reunited myself with my bed!!!!

Saturday
Let's see. What did I do ah. Oh yes. I met Tiffany at city link and we attempted to view the ndp prac. (All because of SOMEONE!) We didn't get to see anything except a few umbrella dancers but oh well. We talked quite a bit and travelled to ps. haha. We went to starbucks where I had a shock of my life. But I'm not going to go into details now.

Then I went to my materal grandparents' place. My grandma made all my favourite but I wasn't hungry because I had starbucks before that. hehe. And there was durian which I could not even stomach :(

Then after that, I met mr lim dehao. Haha. Starbucks again. But this time round, I didn't buy anything. And I got to stay out SO LATE! That was so fun. Haha. Another whole round of talking.

Sunday
In a nutshell, went to sentosa with the Youths and then grandma's house. Yeah. Not much detail to go into. Sentosa was really fun. Oh and I got food poisoning that morning and woah, I dehydrated so fast. Haha. I had to drink like crazy lah. And I almost fainted so many times, but I wasn't about to let that stop me from playing. OH and I found one boost outlet. GOSH. $7 plus for the original size one. I WANT TO GO BACK TO MELBOURNE FOR THAT DRINK NOW!

Monday
(Gosh my memory is failing me. Good thing I'm not doing this at the end of my hols. If not I wouldn't be able to recall anything. umm. WHAT DID I DO?!!)

Oh yes, I went to mg and I met up with Rachel, Ya Ting, Kjelti (my desk buddy!!) and Stefanie. It was so fun man. Catching up with all of them and just disturbing random teachers (mostly ms kek) Then we went to westmall. And ate more.

I had to go cut my hair later. And I'm not THAT pleased with it. But now it's not too bad lah. And that was about it. Oh yes. I think that was the night, no wait, I'm not sure which night, that I got so bored which made me so cranky. Haha. Ok anyway, moving on..

Tuesday
I know I went to handbells. But I have no idea what I did before that. Hmm. I think I must have just stoned. Haha. It was really fun to see my little juniors. And gosh, most of them are really little. YOU NEED TO GROW TALLER GIRLS!! Haha

Wednesday
Went out with Mummy to orchard. Walked and walked and walked and walked and walked. and bought NOTHING! Attempted to find a winter jacket but non that I liked. The range to choose from is really small. And there was one that the zipper got stuck. Like, because of the fur. I was feeling so claustrophobic in it. Wah. I almost died. And then we had enough, so we headed back. Yeah. I think I baked that day. Yeah. Haha. Brownies!

Thursday
(once again, memory failing..)

oh yes. HOW COULD I FORGET? Silly me

I went out with cherilyn!!!! That was super duper fun. She skipped school. TSK! (I can't really accept that until now. cherilyn skipping school? That sounds so wrong. Haha.) We watched 'Get Smart' and we started freaking ourselves out before the movie even started and we laughed so loudly. Haha. And CHERILYN THOUGHT THIS SHOE WAS AN ALARM. It was so funny how she tried to listen to it. Haha. And we took neoprints. That was really fun. I haven't went into a neoprint shop in ages, well until that day. Haha. Then she had to go back to mg, so I went home to rest for a while.

Then I went out with Gerald. Haha. Watched Zohan. Gosh, that show, SICK! It had its funny moments and its really sick moments. But it was so fun. 2 movies in a day. Haha. Nope, no neoprints. Haha. AND NO CHEESECAKE. CHEAT MY FEELINGS! (ok inside story)And because of the time, we had to go home after the movie. Well ok not me, Gerald. AHAHA Yes I have to blame you. Haha.

Friday
I woke up late this morning and was really craving the porridge from bukit timah market. And so I dragged myself out of bed and my mum was like, oh there's porridge on the stove. So I ran all the way to the kitchen, and there it was. PORRIDGE FROM BUKIT TIMAH MARKET with its crackers. And on top of that my mum bought you tiao. YAY MUMMY!!!

Then watched this dvd on my com (because the dvd player hates me) until Ian came home. Then after bugging him for a while I decided to go down to mg AGAIN. OMG I JUST REALISED I DIDN'T SIGN OUT! HAHA. I walked in, so I decided to not cause any trouble and just sign in. BUT MY DAD PICKED ME UP. SO I NEVER SIGN OUT. WHOOOOOOOOPPPS!!! hhahaha. Handbells was ok lah. Haha. Not say I play anyway. haha. It was so fun to see Mrs Aw again. And then caught up with a few juniors before and after prac. Yeah.

Then went for my dad's company dinner. I felt so bloated from I have no idea what. So I just went to eat things that I found interesting. Haha. Pinch a bit from here and there. Haha.

And went I came back, I was exhausted. I was waiting for my turn to use the toilet, which resulted in 1 and a half hour nap. Haha. I have naps at such weird timings. Haha. As a result, now cannot sleep. Ok I think maybe can. But I feel so warm and stuffy today. So sighh.




Oh well. I have no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow. Maybe I'll bake another batch of cupcakes. Haha. Baking those are fun. AND AH. (I'm purposely going to do this. Since I only have a week more here.) ALL YOU LOUSY PEOPLE WHO SAID YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ME. ALL NEVER CALL. TSK. SHAME ON YOU. haha. Ok lah. But don't call also nevermind. Less radiation. haha.

Ok for some reason, I feel like doing methods now. Haha. And so I shall. Toodles! I'm off to being a nerd

The doctor, dead?

I knew this day would come! SEE LAH MUSH! I told you to stop obsessing over David Tennant. BUT NOOO! You wouldn't listen to me. See what I found on the internet!!!

You really have to see this. Click to enlarge!

Disclaimer: David is still alive. Well, at least I hope so. And mush is not THAT bad. I mean she may stick out her tongue at you, ALL THE TIME, and her eyes can barely be seen. aha

Adjusting the Sails

I watched this just now, and the last part kinda moved me.
I especially like this quote

"The journey of life is like sailing through the wind, at times it will get rough and you will be set in the wrong direction. But you can’t give up. You might not be able to direct the wind, but you can always adjust the sails"

So true. So true



This video has really got me thinking. There are so many circumstances that we are thrown into that we do not like, and then we think it leads only to a dead end. And sometimes it's just beyond us to change that circumstance. But isn't it amazing that we can change how we deal with it? Isn't is wonderful that we can just try to change our attitude towards it?

I guess that's how I got to accept the fact that I was studying overseas. I never really thought about it, but I'm sure if I were to just focus on the stuff like, all my loved ones are in Singapore and all that blah blah, studying abroad would have been pure misery. And once I was in Melbourne, there was really no turning back. Am I glad that God showed me the silver lining.

So I guess, I'm going to change my approach now. Everything happens for a reason and I'm certain there's a silver lining to everything. Sometimes, we just require a bit more time to see it, to appreciate it. But that doesn't mean we give up. No. In fact, it means we should press on.

One thing I learnt, is that there's a bigger picture, a bigger plan for us all, that we may never comprehend. But once you catch a glimpse of God's plans, once you start to understand the things that are happening to you, you really can't help but to admire His works, to appreciate His wisdom.

God has a plan for us all. We may think that His plan is not the best and thus we have a negative outlook towards it. But once we start to change our attitude, once we tap into His master plan, things would not be as horrible as we all make it out to be.
