Bubbling Excitement!

It's less than 12h to Odyssey!! I can't wait! Oh shoot me, I'm bubbling with excitement, as Roy puts it :) Although I'm tired and I haven't packed for camp and I should've been sleeping at 10pm, I'm still happy and excited! And I believe God will bring me through this camp just fine! xD Prayer and faith!

Now printing out all the stuff I need for the programmes.

Choir outing today was great, I hope it was fun for all the choir kias =) Water bombs kinda rocked, though I was shocked to kena bombed more than 20 times. Wa lao, went home drenched la. Froze to death on the bus. Came back and took a nice warm shower, did lots of stuff, talked to my stupid PIGX on the phone and laughed like mad. Now it's back to chionging camp stuff, but I still can't wait!

I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

Yaaaaaay!!!!!!

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:11:00 pm

Farewell Night

I must say it went pretty well! :) I hope it did! Everything was going pretty well, the skits were really long, 1h! And it was pretty tough on Ellis, Kenneth, Nigel and I. But I think I got it easiest, cos I managed to sit out about 5 skits! =P The rest I just pretty much stood there and laughed. Haha hope the choir enjoyed it though! Impromptu nonsense!

Had a few technical glitches, but whatever. I hope I spelt glitches correctly =X Anyway, I was pretty moved by Adele who probably spent a bomb on buying presents for the committee, the choir, etc. Really touched by her la, and I realised how little I've done! Expect more loveeeeeeeeee from me, choir! =P

And I'd really like to thank the Seniors, for all their love, advice, friendship, knowledge and care! Seriously, they rock. And I just received an email from Yan Xuan. She's one of the funniest, most enjoyable, stylish, and yet mature SLs in HSChoir. Really moved by her email... YX, thanks for everything :)

Stayed back to clear up lots of stuff, then headed home. It's now 1am and I'm tired. I've got a full day tomorrow, maybe I won't go for the BBQ. If not I'll just die at camp! =X Dilemma-fied! Help!

Anyway, was talking to Deer Pigz and got a rather strange, unexpected shock/surprise later at night. I'm still not too sure what that was about =X but anyway, Deer Pigz when you read this tell me what you meant! -shiny tooth emo-

And Maine you must UPDATE ME =P I'm so hyper excited for you!! xD

Choir "camp" is on tomorrow. Yay! I still don't know what's my role, yuck I suck.

Forgive me if I don't blog for the rest of the week, I'll be too tied up in camps!

And I'm UBER HAPPY NOW BECAUSE:
#1 - 79 PEOPLE ARE GOING FOR ODYSSEY!
#2 - I CAN GO FOR TEENSTREET! THE MISSIONS CAMP IN MALAYSIA!
#3 - FAREWELL NIGHT WAS A SUCCESS!
#4 - I THINK I'VE FOUND A NEW, SERIOUSLY GOOD FRIEND! :D
#5 - of that special you! :)

GO KPC!

Headed to church early today, it was kinda good. The Sermon lasted for almost an hour, wow. But amazingly, it held my attention throughout. I guess Elder Lawrence Hee is pretty funny! And I gained lots of insight from the message too, not to mention new words used xP

Had lunch after that and it was kinda sad cos I couldn't eat chicken rice or add chilli to my wan ton mee, or drink milo peng cos of my sore throat. So I had ketchup wan ton mee and barley leng eh. Not that you'd care anyway. Lol. Had a retarded conversation with the kias, as usual.

Headed back to church for Odyssey meeting, our last, final one! It went quite well, settled quite a lot of stuff though some parts were rather awkward. But it's all a learning experience and I did enjoy the meeting, as I always have :D

Went to Mama's house with Just and Jon Ma and played REAL LIVE CS with Hannah and Nathan. It was so fun la. Although I was pretty tired and lethargic. Haha, bought all those silly air blaster guns from Toys R Us, I tell you, they rock baby! Good quality I must say.

So anyway, it was a hell lotta fun and this was the first time in about 6/7 years that the 5 of us played together again. Ha. Jon accidentally shot my eye and it hurt real bad and my eyes were tearing but it was ok after a while, thank God. All in the name of fun! No pain no gain =P

Had a scrumptious dinner as usual. Helped wash up the dishes and headed home. What a nice day today has been! =D

PS: I'm looking forward tomorrow, JM has sooooo much to tell me!
PSS: It's farewell night tomorrow too! Woot!
PSSS: DEER PIGZ talks to himself =P

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:59:00 pm

BB/GB Camp OLEH!!

Shoot me, I love Tao Nan! Seriously, the school rocks as compared to a rather pathetic Hai Sing. Sad to say, but Tao Nan's facilities rock.

The programmes pretty much rocked. The kids were rowdy and I had to shout sometimes and thus my sore throat, but it was all in good fun. The loudhaler was softer than my shouting, irony. The games were cool and thou shalt not elaborate cos it is currently 12.01am.

Bla bla bla, bla bla bla, got all wet and dirty thanks to dear Cheryl and Glenn who, in a great conspiracy, attacked me when I least expected it. But it was all in good fun. Hey, that line sounds familiar.

Anyway, kinda interesting how back when I had camps in Sec 1 I used to sleep oh-so-early and not want to get dirty cos I didn't wanna wash up again, but now I sleep 0h-not-so-early and I find it fun to get dirty. Hmm, interesting.

The bath at night was shiok, one pail of cold water. Satisfying. Played cards and Truth or Dare (which actually was really really fun) until around 2.30am before we turned in. Cheryl and I were taking really really retarded photos and here's one.

Cheryl and I decided not to use flash anymore, since it was affecting the guys. So we tried using the light from my handphone. What a wonderful shot! Oh shoot me, we're turning into real bimbos. I'm turning into a real bimbo. AHHHH SAVE ME!

Faith Factor rocked, so many people turned up!! Woot, talked to a few girls who're coming for Odyssey! shoot me, I can't wait for the camp.

I'm gonna love the week ahead! Farewell night, choir camp, Odyssey, Clown prac! I'll die but I'll die happy =P

Just a thought

I don't know what you're up to, whether you say what you mean. Tell me honestly, please. Cos I don't wanna waste my time anymore.

If it's not what you're made of, you're not what I'm looking for.

Doulos Cont'd

Haha, how could I forget to blog about Ben!!!

Oh my goodness, I read it on Cheryl's blog, HILARIOUS.

You know for the game I was talking about, the one we were supposed to evangelise to somebody? Well, Ben thought he was supposed to evangelise to the Mafia guy! HAHA HILARIOUS. So here's how it goes, roughly.

(Please insert emotions on your own, Mafia guy is just shouting all the way while Ben is being... Ben. For those who don't know Ben, he's being nervous here, as you'd probably have inferred.)

Mafia guy: Why are you here! What is your real purpose for being here!
Ben: Eh, I don't know. Actually, I have a story to tell you. (since Ben is a childrens' storybook seller or something)
Mafia guy: What, is your story from the Bible!?!
Ben: Um, indirectly........ yes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUNNY RIGHT. HAHAHAHAHA. Ok maybe not for you, but when Ben was recounting the whole situation while queueing up for our dinner, all the Douloids behind us were laughing! Hilarious!!!!!!

Anyway, on to today. Woke up bright and early because I forgot to do Khye An's present last night! And today was the surprise =) Met Koong Jye and we headed to buy his cake, ended up buying a Doraemon one which was pretty funny. Haha. Met Dom and Alan and headed up to KA's house! =) Ya, and Dom was damn smart, he told KA where to find us while we were still lighting the candle and getting the cake all nice bla bla. Haha. Only thing we could do was to say to KA, "Pretend you didn't see us!!!"

Haha, after a while we headed to Escape! :) KA's mum was so lovely and paid for our tickets! :) Headed to Pepsi and all the rides. So irritating, Panasonic is like, extinct! And the inverter was closed today =_- KJ and I damn sad la. Irritating! No wonder tickets are only $6, -_-"

Anyway we went on a few rides, mainly spent the time queueing up. Haha. The sun was retardedly hot today la, so smelly. But suddenly it struck me that I shouldn't be complaining about the heat. I mean, here I am complaining about the heat in a theme park when in so many places in the world farmers are working in the heat the whole day and without complaints. Sheesh, I should be ashamed.

Anyway, I couldn't stop laughing when we were on the teacups ride cos we were all screaming like gays. Ok, the guys were screaming like gays. Super funny. Like, sissy scream. Haha hilarious!

Go Karts rocked, shoot me, I love driving! Wet and Wild with KA rocked. Ya, we were rocking the boat =P We basically flouted all 3 rules, don't rock the boat, don't splash water, don't stand. We splashed water, rocked the boat, and KA stood a little. We were supposed to ambush KJ and Alan in the boat behind us, you see =P

Went on Go Karts again. We had to go buy drinks about 4 times today, it was crazy. KJ and I moved about 1m in the line in 15 minutes, how fast. So we decided to go ride Pepsi again while KA and Alan queued up for Go Karts. It was a little weird at first cos we were both so uncomfortably hot in our wet clothes and not really in the talking mood. Haha. But soon we started crapping, as in, seriously crapping.

KJ is the kind of person I can't have a serious conversation with in real life. We can only talk nonsense la, but that's good and bad I guess. Anyway, we were damn retarded on Pepsi. I was laughing throughout the whole ride cos he was being so retarded (he can't help it) and I was lowering my IQ to be retarded as well =P Hilarious.

You see, normal people tend to scream or shout "AHHHH!" But since we're ~~normal~~ not very normal, we were shouting "LOL! (pronounced LAWL)" and "WHATEVER!" and "LUMB! (lame + dumb = lumb)" So you see, that's why I couldn't stop laughing. and we were trying to rock the carriage and he was shouting "FRONT! BACK! FRONT! BACK!" O my goodness, hilarious!

Go Karts was fun again, haha. Yakult ride was uber nonsensy! KJ and KA were trying to grab at Alan's feet and they eventually got my shoe off. Retarded KA. Wouldn't let go even when I was kicking him! But it was hilarious anyway. The person was rather amused.

Bla, went to play CS after that. I'm getting better baby! I didn't die so much =P And I managed to kill quite a lot ok. Huhuhahaha! Not the pathetic 1 digit anymore, I managed to kill about 50+ in less than an hour of gaming? I hope that's good. Haha.

Took a bus home and KJ was nice enough to accompany me for 2 minutes and forgo 1 minute of Goong! Haha. All right, long day I've had today.

I fear for my eyes you know. My sclera's no longer white, it's becoming grayish and blood-shottish. I think I'll stick more to glasses =X

Toodles =)

Monday, November 20, 2006 :)

I had an awesome day today, but it's 12.37am and I'm dead tired.

Just finalised all my camp stuff so I can send them to Roy. Gonna read my bible and turn in, a long day ahead tomorrow and I just can't wait! =)

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:55:00 pm

Sunday, November 19, 2006 :)

I'm in loveeeeeeeee!

I won't tell you with who/what, though you probably will guess by the end of the post =)

Got up early and headed to Harbourfront mall macs for breakfast. Picked Cheryl up on the way and met Ben there. Bimbos unite! =P Had a yummy breakfast and headed to the Doulos for service.

I must say, it really was interesting. They're so relaxed, you know? The drummer walked in late, but nobody really bothered. How cool is that! See, worship can still go on even without fantabulous music :) It was interesting cos we sang quite a lot of songs. Heh.

The message was good, George Barathon preached on Joseph and his qualities. I realised there's so so much we can learn from this man. -sigh-

First up on the Inside Out programme, we headed to a family cabin to chit chat. It's really nice, there're "families" on board the ship. A married couple has about 12/13 single "children". It's cool! Had a nice chat with the couple and learnt a lot about the ship too :)

Then we had lunch, which was, as usual, yummy =P and I mistook lamb for beef, how embarrassing. Anyway, after that we went to work again. And hurray hurray, my Accom group got posted to Book Exhibition! Hip hip! heh?

Anyway, Cheryl and I were supposed to pack the books which was actually really fun, though we were sweating like pigs. Lugging heavy books in a hot bookstore is... hot. But it was really really fun anyway! Then I had to go outside to the crane deck and like, advertise. Actually I was just supposed to be a statue and answer questions if people asked.

But after about 20 minutes I realised nobody was asking anything and I wasn't intending to stay in the sun for the next 40 minutes cooking. So I decided to start advertising, "marketing", as one of the guys put it. And it was slightly better la :) I was going "Everything for $5 only!" cos I thought nobody would actually realise I was saying everything, but somebody did, so I changed to "Every item for $5 only!" Haha.

Not funny actually.

Anyway, had break, and they served German bread. Oh my goodness, nicest home-baked bread in the world. Ship-baked maybe. that sounds retarded.

Anyway, we played this game and it was sooooooo cool. We were given "passports" and we were supposed to be Evangelites. But we were told to be careful what we say, what information we reveal, cos in some countries you could get arrested for being a Christian etc.

So we headed to the first station, the Immigration checkpoint. Had to fill in a few VISA forms and it was a little intimidating. Haha. Then they questioned me a lil on whether I was a Christian (which I said Yes cos I ticked Yes) then they asked me what I was doing in the country. Bla bla, then they let me go.

I was blindfolded and taken to a dark dark room by some security guards. Then they shone a really bright light in my face and when my eyes got accustomed to the darkness I saw 2 men dressed like The Mafia and his Accomplice in front of me. The Mafia was this black guy who was really really really good, the Accomplice was a caucasian man who was just trying not to laugh. The Mafia acted really really well, and I was pretty stunned so I just well, stared at him. Interesting.

I got thrown into prison. PRISONBREAK OLEH! (too bad I had no prison blueprint on my body)

Rebecca was inside so we talked a bit. I think this is getting too long. Anyway, they took our Bibles from us and let us go. Then we went to a home, with a German couple. They could only speak in German! So we were supposed to evangelise, but somehow find a way even though we could only speak in English and they couldn't understand English. If we can't even speak Chinese properly obviously they won't understand right.

Anyway, we tried to tell them that they are sinners (as we are) and that we will always do wrong things. Haha, and they kept denying it and saying that they were good people. Haha. And that's why we can never be close to God, since God is holy and above all. But because God loves us, He sent Jesus to bridge the gap between Man and God. So now we can know God as long as we believe in Jesus! =)

It took us really long to get that message across, cos almost everything didn't work so we tried to act it out to them and it worked! =) It was really funny, cos at first they were thinking "God" was "board" cos we were pointing up. And they were saying "board loves us!" haha which was hilarious. And they thought "dead" was "dance". Haha. But in the end they prayed with us :) Amazing!

It was such an eye-opening experience, wonderful indeed. Really awesome. Although everything was just play-acted, it was really real and it really made us work it.

Over dinner the Mafia and the security guards came to say hi, haha they're soooooo friendly, oh my goodness it's overwhelming.

I really love all the people on the ship, they're all so cheerful and friendly and smiley :) and you can see how God is working in all of their lives, how God is moulding them and shaping them for His purpose. I really love Conny and Liza, 2 lovely women of God. Really, it's just so amazing.

I guess the past few days on the Doulos have really tuned me into missions, and I don't believe it's coincidence or anything. I really want to go into missions, to join the ship when I'm older. I really want to be moulded for Him, to be moulded by Him. I really want to work on the ship. The people are wonderful, probably the best colleagues anywhere. And the work is just so.... warming. Words can't really express what I feel now.

But whatever it is, I'm going out into the mission field.

Hopefully after my A levels! :)

Oh ya, so you could've guessed, I'm in love with the Doulos, and with the people on the Doulos, and with God for blessing the world with the Doulos :)

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!9:32:00 pm

Saturday, November 18, 2006 :)

OH, I forgot to mention that I don't feel normal now. Cos after spending 8h on a tilted ship, you come home on flat ground and you still feel tilted. Ack.

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:55:00 pm

Inside Out!

Rewind to last night, after watching Step Up, I was pretty inspired so I got Cheryl to teach me hip hop. I think it's a privilege to be able to move so beautifully, and I refused to continue letting my stupid stiff body hold me back from moving. So I got her to teach me and I, well, relaxed a little more. Haha. It was really fun, she taught me some real cool stuff! And surprisingly I managed to move to it and not look like a robot.

Yes, damn fun. Shoot, I like dancing! =P But I'm still pai sei to dance in front of people. Btw, I realised I can do this really cool move (yes it is original) and it's damn nice la. To me.

Anyway, we turned in at 1.30am and only slept at 2.45am cos we were talking and talking and talking. And I didn't really sleep well, I don't know why. Kept waking up, many times. Sian diao. Had a really really really really really really horrible nightmare within the 20 extra minutes I slept in the morning when Cheryl's alarm woke me up and I went back to sleep. And guess what? Ben was the cause of the nightmare. I was kinda affected when he called me to ask where to meet bla bla bla. Intriguing, and Cheryl was laughing at me. Hngh!

Anyway, went to the Doulos for the Inside Out programme. It was really good, we started with some creative things, learnt drama and some stuff. Fun. Came up with retarded skits. Huhuhahaha! Had lunch which was, to me, really really yummy. Apparently not to everyone else. But anyway, we went to do work for 2 hours and I was posted to the Accomodation department. There were 3 others, Book ex, Deck, and Galley. Hopefully I'll get Book ex tomorrow =)

It was kinda fun, we were cleaning the walls outside the cabins! Haha initially it was really solemn, everyone doing their own wall-cleaning. Then I couldn't take it and started talking and everyone started talking so it was really fun =)

We finished half an hour early so we sat around doing nothing and I felt kinda dumb. Yeah, we were blocking half the corridor. Diao.

Went back, had this Puppet show-course thingy and I felt kinda bad cos I was really tired (due to lack of sleep the previous night) and I kept dozing off. I think quite a few of us were really tired (especially Cheryl and I, wonder why....) so the presenter was rather discouraged. Shoot me.

Yeah, so it was cool. Had a time of sharing with Liza and some other girls and a guy. It was fun, it was cool. =) I love the ship. Maybe I'll be like her, I'll finish my A levels and come on board the ship before going to Uni. Oh my goodness I'll sooo love that! I CAN'T WAIT AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Ok, back to reality. Headed for Clown after that, extremely funny practice we had today. EVIL's energy was not really there today, mainly cos we're still trying to change the whole mood. Shoot, we really need to practise on our own. Practise practise practise! Jasper and I kept dancing with the dancers, cos we know one particular move of theirs. Hilarious.

And the song Matthew is singing is simply hilarious too.

So much laughter today. Stupid KGM kept teasing me about somebody, but it was all in good fun :P I can tease him back anyway, huhuhahahah.

Good night! =) Love all you people out there!
Am I falling?

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:46:00 pm

Moved, again

No, my blog didn't move, I mean, I'm moved.

Went for 'Get a Life!' on the Doulos this evening, and man was it a good programme. It really challenged me. There was a blackout during the Praise session, but all of us still worshipped, still sang our hearts out. It was really moving, to hear a resounding chorus of voices all in worship of God. No lights, no fan, no air con, no awesome music. But we still worshipped.

When the team performed a skit on how Christians were being persecuted in other countries, where some were killed because they didn't denounce Christ, tears just welled up in my eyes. Though the acting was pretty bad, I was just so touched, so overwhelmed.

Not everyone has the pleasure of worshipping God openly like we can in Singapore. We so easily take for granted the fact that we have no reason to hide our worship, to hide our praise of Him.

I guess we have so many reasons to be thankful, we just haven't experienced life without these things, so we don't know how lucky we are to have them.

You never know what you have till it's gone.

Then the guy talked about how his best friend died because he never really told him about Christ. And I too realised that I've never really told anyone about God, never really evangelised. I've asked people to church, to camps, but I've never had the guts to share what God has done in my life.

And I now know why: I was ashamed of the Gospel. I had no reason to be frightened, to ashamed, but I was a coward. I was afraid of what people might say about me, afraid of being rejected. But I never realised that I needed to share the Gospel, I needed to share the love with those around me.

And I was just overwhelmed once again. I knew he was gonna call, and somehow, I felt someone pushing me. Urging me softly to go forth to missions. I don't know why, but my heart was almost popping out of my chest.

And I raised my hand.

I guess the guy was right, it all changes when you make the decision. Not when you go on board the Doulos, not when you join OM. It changes when you change.

And I've changed, and I feel good about it. I'm gonna go out there and tell my friends about God.

I'm not gonna be ashamed anymore :)

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!12:30:00 am

Friday, November 17, 2006 :)

Pretty moved now.

Just before my brother left, mum prayed for him.

Then, in the midst of using the computer, I suddenly remembered he was having his exam and I prayed for him.

Dad just got home and the first thing he did was pray for my brother.

I'm just really moved, and really thankful that we always have someone to rely on, someone to cast everything upon, that we don't have to worry about exams and just believe that God will help us.

I'm so thankful that we can talk to Him anytime, anywhere.

I'm even more thankful that He listens.
All the time :)

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!1:22:00 pm

PRISONBREAK

is officially the best show I've ever seen. I mean, on Channel 5. Shoot, GV would make a whole lotta big bucks if they aired the show non-stop =P

Adrenaline rush mania ok. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! And retarded Charmaine was dancing while Prisonbreak was on TV. This girl doesn't know what's best for her, tsk tsk.

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:28:00 pm

Dear ~~diary~~ blog,
Indeed, yesterday was a long day. I woke up bright and early and went to Dhoby Ghaut to play Time Crisis 3. It's a pity Ben and I were too lazy to walk to the other side, I would've been able to play 10 rounds rather than the pathetic 5 I played with my $5. It was fun nonetheless, Ben really takes time to change his weapons. I just tyco. With skill. I think.

We had lunch and headed to Sembawang. Thanks to the really loud music blasting in my ears, I was talking to Ben about camp really loudly. Yes, my reputation has been ruined. Of course I didn't realise I was speaking loudly till Cheryl told me. Oops.

You should try blasting music in your ears and speaking. You'll realise you're actually shouting. Oh, you're a blog. Forgot you ain't got no ears. Ha! Jealous now? =P

Anyway, recce-ed the campsite and saw this guy who was in Get Lost! from Bethel Pres. Haha! He was helping out with some BB camp, but we didn't say hi. Doubt he remembered me/Ben anyway.

Played at the playground, recce-ed the park bla bla. The park's pretty small I must say. But whatever, it was fun =)

Headed to the Doulos in the evening (after having the worst Chicken rice in the world) to sing. Lo and behold, Hannah was there! Missed that girl =) It was pretty fun, I didn't fall asleep despite fatigue huhuhahaha! Maybe because I was too anxious. Uncle Moses was hilarious, he's a youth kia kia man. =) Too bad, dear blog, you don't have eyes, or ears, you'll never meet him or hear him. Ha!

I seem to have an inferiority complex. Strange. Unnatural.

Then Rae, Hannah, Jonno and myself went on an unofficial tour of the ship. I was pretty cowardified cos Hannah was leading us into restricted zones and I was rather.... not confident of that. Haha. But it was fun all the same! Adrenaline rush xP

Bla bla, I didn't go online yesterday night, miracle kia =) Energy depletion service was not available, Tired Wang said "The monster has tamed", LOL.

Anyway, got up bright and early, sadly, to go for tuition. Then headed home to do homework and some administrative work. And took about 4 power naps and 1 short nap. HAHA. So I didn't have any afternoon nap.

Woot, no early morning tomorrow, for once in how long can. I can't wait to sleep in! =)

Prisonbreak's on tonight! YAY! Ha, you can't watch it cos you don't have eyes! Ha!

I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's all right, all right with me
Cos I want nothing more than
To sit outside your door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be

~~Yours~~ Love,
Marianne :)

Titles are unnecessary sometimes.

Ya, in cases like these when everything is so general.

Gotta make this a fast one.

Choral exchange was really enjoyable, we did screw up, much more than we should have. Sigh, we always go wrong on stage. No matter how in tune or good we sound anywhere else. But anyway, managed to learn quite a lot from some really good choirs, as well as some not-so-good choirs. It was an enjoyable experience overall =)

Came home and did some camp stuff, pretty much finished the scoring system. And I realised that I pretty much duplicated my work from yesterday. How smart. But I enjoy it all the same :)

So today was a great day actually =) PCK was hilarious. Just and I played with some gun thingy he bought from Toys R Us! Only $9 and you get a cool gun (quite power i must say) and 6 bullets! So we were shooting each other. Hilarious. It's good to be a child la =D It's a privilege!

Had a super retarded conversation with Energy-drainer King Tired Wang on the phone. Seriously, that guy is one person who makes me laugh like nobody's business. Retarded =P

Gotta turn in, loooooooong day ahead! Gonna recce Sembawang campsite at 2, donno why Ben wants to meet at 10.30 =X but it's ok, cos we're gonna play the 50cents Time Crisis! Jess you jealous? hehehehe evening gotta run to the doulos. Woot. YAY!

Good night everyone =) be happy!

Hooray!! =D or Booray? D=

Choir today was quite all right although Miss Ong didn't come. Think we managed to scrape through today's practice =X I just hope she can make it tomorrow!

And I'm just glad she's fine now, phew.

Oh well, to all ye choir members out there, give it your best tomorrow! Oh snap, I should be sleeping. What if I doze off tomorrow. AHH NOOOOOO =X

Just finished the point system for camp. Ahhh. Tomorrow I shall do the poster, huhuhahaha!

Man, why can't i ever please you? Whatever.

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:31:00 pm

Sad.

That's how I felt when we hopped into a taxi with a driver who goes to church, but believes in himself, and that the soul dies with the body, and that the world is a better place without heaven and earth.

The worst thing is, he feels that it's cos of religion and faith that the world is in such chaos, that because of faith, so much suffering exists.

Sad indeed, how anyone could think this way.

What a long day today.

Woke up early to head to church for exco meeting at 9am. Unearthly hour for me. Heh. Went for piano and was pretty much half-sleeping in front of Miss Chiu. Ouch.

Headed to Ben's house for Joseph's birthday party. Watched videos on Youtube for about 4 hours. Haha.

Headed for Clown practice. Fun, though I screwed up badly today. Made 3 terrible mistakes! First one was I forgot my line, then while I was thinking of why I forgot my line, I missed another entry. And then I cut in while Jasper was still talking. Ack.

Learn from thy mistakes, Marianne.

Pastor Tim is really nice. He's always giving me a lift home despite me being way off. And Evan and Eudora and Aunty Elsie are really nice too, to sacrifice sleeping time to send me all the way back. We were all tired. Thanks so much :)

Just finished the programme proposal, Tasks, Maps, Rules, all included. Quite happy with it =) Although it's 1.42am. Think I'll doze off during Pastoral Prayer tomorrow, I sure hope not. Oh sheesh, haven't read my Bible yet! AHHH. -runs away-

By the way, I love your smile :)

Choir!

Woo, choir was good today I must say =) I enjoyed the practice although I was really tired. Had to keep pushing myself to give my best. Well most of the time I did, except for some parts when I was tired and didn't really open up my face. Other than that I really enjoyed choir today! :D

Had a long talk with Miss Ong and a few others today. I guess in this course of leadership I've learnt a lot, though I haven't been the best leader possible. I'm still learning, still improving. Every experience is a chance to learn, and I guess I know why I'm in this role. And I'm grateful for it. If others believe in me, maybe I should start believing in myself.

Marianne, please stop caring so much what others think of you.
Ok!

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this

Yawn

Exhausted after a full day of physical work. Woke up in the wee hours of the morning, 7.15am actually =P and headed to church to paint! Yes, we painted a mural =) and whitewashed (haha you can't see this!) a few walls and scrubbed Samuel's relatives (algae) off the wall too.

Well had to do all the funny stuff while waiting for the paint to dry right? Then can draw ma =) and kindergarten lessons were in progress too anyway. Think we pretty much made more noise to contribute to the atmosphere.

And Roy looked funny in his Navy Suit, really like some construction worker kia. Huhuhahaha!

Anyway, got the ark left to paint. The rest will continue tomorrow, I'm gonna sleep in and head to school. Exhausted liaozzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Good night :)

Koong Jye is ~~funny~~ hilarious.

My display pic was me and claudia, the one with blood from her mouth. KJ sees it and goes.

"by de way.. ur pic/... is ur fren bleedin or somethin???" says KJ the saikangistan. Quoted exactly.

Made me burst out laughing in front of the com. Haha, how innocent, KJ.

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:06:00 pm

Accomplishment!

I'm feeling really proud of myself cos I completed 6h worth of homework! =) Fine, so I spent 3h doing 10 questions of Trigo for A maths. PS: 10 questions with parts a b and c... but I still finished an English Essay, and 2 History questions! Ok, not a lot. But still, ahem, it's the attitude ah chill la siao!

Anyway, my bro and I were doing really retarded stuff la. I was trying to study and he kept making me laugh and he was trying to sleep so I kept making him laugh. Full of nonsense.

PCK is rather funny this season as compared to the last, which was rather... disappointing. Lame, but hilarious. Rosie is hilarious la! Woot, I love PCK.

Ben and I were talking this afternoon, thought of some really dumb station games/games to kill time. Really really hilarious. You know Ben.

"Ya, so they will laugh at themselves, then we can laugh at them!" said Ben the great. He's a great programmes person la, very enthu and creative. Woot, go Ben! I think we should be called the Hointers or something. We shall come up with a name tomorrow =P

Watched Turning Point just now, really very encouraging. I guess our society's becoming more accepting towards ex-convicts. I would honestly welcome them into our presence. -shows yellow ribbon!- Everyone deserves a second chance :) After all, that's what I was given too. That's what we all are given, just whether we make us of that chance or not.

I think I have contracted Bryan's lameness. Seriously. I was making all kinds of nonsensical/~~retarded~~ super retarded comments to Charmaine just now. All no link one. Siaoness.

Painting tomorrow, hurrah! Ben and I will wreck the wall! No la we won't. Then gotta programmes meeting. Wee :)

I'm addicted to this song: When Did You Fall by Chris Rice.

Make your way over here, sit down by this fool and let's rewind

Come on let's go back and replay all our scenes Point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time

All the ones that slipped by me

I bet my face is red and you can hear my heart pounding

Well I guess it don't matter now that I realize

Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now

Right here before my eyes

You're my beautiful surprise

Lovely :)

And to my sampan friend, I'm sorry.

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!10:14:00 pm

I can't stand it when people spoil shows.

Like how they announce the winners of competitions on their blogs.

Like how they tell you in your face who won America's Next Top Model, spoiling all the suspense.

Like how they tell you in your face who won So You Think You Can Dance, eliminating all the excitement.

Like how they tell you how the movie ends just before you start watching it.

Man, get a life, stop spoiling the shows.

The Guardian

Yes, one of the best good-plotted movies I've caught in a long long time. Highly tear-jerking. Very very moving. Suggestion - bring a box of tissue or a pillow to stifle the sobs. Haha.

Rachelle and I came out of the cinema with swollen eyes, think we must've looked ~~rather~~ very retarded. The rest like never really cry one. Pfft.

Anyway, it's an awesome show, go watch go watch! It actually makes sense.

Amanda threw me into laughing fits just now with all her nonsense. Jollyn Amanda and I were trying to hide from Jess Jocelyn Shermine and Rach but they didn't know it. So we were scampering around like idiots. Suddenly dodging behind pillars and dashing into shops. Very retarded. Amanda was squatting in THIS FASHION la. Hilarious.

PS: we were in uniform.

Anyway, we decided to take Courts brochures so we can hold them right in front of our faces when we walked. Like in those dumb Chinese shows, where nobody would suspect them if they did that. I was laughing like mad already la. Then she suggested poking 2 holes for eyes. So I did that in the right proportion. However, Amanda folded the paper into quarters, so the holes were approx 15cm apart. HILARIOUS. I'M STILL LAUGHING ABOUT IT. HAHAHA!

My throat hurt after that. Ack.

Roamed around for a while more before heading home to do work. Yes, I did my homework. Man, HSC is retarded. Really, maniac. On top of the heaps of Holiday hw, they give us more holiday lessons homework. Like, HELLO!?

Man. Nuts.
Prissy: whatever it is girl, be strong, be brave. I have faith in you to do what you need to! =)
JM: i need bloof, and i want my blag!

Daryl B: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE =) YOU ROCKKKKKKKKKKKK! =) really.

Ever felt horrible?

That's how I felt on the bus today, must be cos I sprinted for the bus approx 150m after breakfast. Sian. Wanted to puke, broke out in cold sweat and was shivering. Siao liao. Was gonna get off at Jocelyn's bus stop cos I figured it wasn't very nice to vomit on the bus when suddenly the weird feeling disappeared and was replaced by numbness. Must be cos I prayed :)

Anyway, Jocelyn got on the bus and we headed to school together. Had a splitting headache after that, but better than the above. Sorry for being rather antisocial dearie, I wasn't feeling all that great. I even thought I diarrhoea-ed my skirt cos when I got off the bus the seat was like splattered with brown stuff but my skirt was squeak clean so I presume it was there already.

VERY important conclusion: I do not diarrhoea-fy myself even under the worst circumstances. -curtsies-

School was fine, I actually pretty enjoyed SS bridging. MR Tay gave us some really cool insights eh. Hehe. Oh no, what has MOE done to me! -grabs hair-

Headed to BK for lunch, must say the game on the Crown is rather very retarded. Super retarded. Super retarded. More retarded than Bryan.

No, that's not possible.

Anyway, choir was not too bad la. I think we're practising for recording tomorrow, are we? =X Hmmm. Who am I. Shiokadility song only. Woot!

Ok, Prisonbreak ROCKED. Ahhhhhhhhhh crap, I need my dose of Prisonbreak! I really look forward to Thursday nights la please. AHHHHHHH. My heart was beating so fast and then, advertisement. ARGH. The feeling just sucks doesn't it? I don't know how Alvin can remain unexcited with all the stuff happening. Ahhh I can't wait for the next episode. AHHHH. Hw day tomorrow, mark my words =P

Ok, I'll be nice and post a few pictures maybe, once I finish my game proposal and come up with a date for training.

Till then, toodles =)

All the best to those taking A level Chinese tomorrow, though none of you are reading this. Haha, you shouldn't be anyway.

I just realised something. In all my pain on the bus, I still brought myself to mumble a prayer for those taking their GP paper while passing MJC. At least I haven't forgotten God in my life :)

What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:26:00 pm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BEN AND DESIRE-E!

Headed to Ben's house to celebrate his/Dezzie's birthday. Rather fun I must say. All the make up/gothic/halloween nonsense. Not very halloweenish, just gothic. hahaha. All the nonsense, the photos will do the talking eh.

So after everyone left, we played fast Scrabble and watched Just My Luck before everyone went to sleep while some watched Rob-B-Hood. Wahahaha. Fun. Had a little trouble sleeping for reasons thou shalt not state. But then again, it was shiok to have a mattress to sleep on.

Woke up at 6.30am to head to school with Melissa. Wait, she headed to hers, I headed to mine. Had breakfast on the way cos we were both superrrrrr early. Bla bla. Shall not talk about school, it was noneventful.

Did some Maths homework today, YAY!!!! ACcomplishment aiee.

Prisonbreak tomorrow, YAY!

Massive (Sentosa Recee) massive (Birthday party) photo upload coming your way! Hooray!
