Happy Day! =)
I think I haven't been sooooooo happy in a day for so long. You see, I spent half the day sleeping, and was it shiooooooooooook =P
Ok anyway, from yesterday. Since I haven't blogged about events-in-the-life-of-marianne in SUCH a long time, I shall =P Oh wait, the day before. HAHAHAHA. National Day eve. School ended at around 11, hung around the library to wait for Shermine and headed to Din Tai Fung for lunch. Rather shiok, but the fried rice is super expensive, super small portion, but super nice nonetheless. And of course, this time I ate the Xiao Long Bao properly without burning my tongue. Apparently they teach you HOW TO EAT XIAO LONG BAOS ON THE CHOPSTICKS. Right. But it was helpful =P
Headed home to get ready to head to the PHS carnival. Something very very VERY silly happened on the way, shall not elaborate though. From being 10 minutes early became 10 minutes late........................ =P But worth it la. Duh. HAHAHA.
Reached PHS. Evan, Glenn, Ben, Joel and I. 5 kias, $120 worth of carnival tickets to spend. We seriously tried our best to use up the tickets but it was simply overwhelming. Thank goodness they had an E-ZONE in the school la! Seriously. Super cool, ended up playing mostly Photo Hunt (LOL LOL) and Crazy Taxi. Gosh. We managed to clinch MANY top scores. HAHAHA.
Played some really silly games to use up the tickets, but ended up buying frivolous stuff from the Parent Support Group. Joel was really nice and bought packet drinks and gave them out randomly to people. I think that was a much much much better way to have spent the money. Gave the rest of the tickets to some stranger... Hahahaha.
Headed back to Ben's to have our movie marathon. Watched Scary Movie 3. SERIOUSLY STUPID SHOW. SUPER SUPER FUNNY. And of course, scary........... (I say that with much hesitation and coughs..........) Ok so it's not really scary. It's really just hilarious. Makes me wanna watch the rest. Hahaha. Then watched Shanghai Knights which was funny too.
Went to sleep but woke up around 655264789053 times cos I was freezing. Hahaha. Got up at 6.30 and we attempted to go for a morning walk but it started to rain so we watched Over the Hedge and.... San ge Hao ren. 3 good people? In chinese. Really really movie =) And everything was super nice, until the last part which was a really really stupid scene. Haha.
Headed to Papa's house and was pretty happy to see my relatives though I was pretty upset about something else. But anyway, caught up with them and it was nice. Oh man, Rei made my heart melt. I was playing with him for maybe the last 20 minutes or so before I left. So just before I left Sum Cheng called out to me, "Hey Marianne! Rei wants to give you a hug!" And there comes little Rei running towards me and gave me such a nice hug. Wa, super touched by that little boy. A really sweet and obedient one at that :) Just that he enjoys drooling. A LOT. Even though he's super smart. HAHAHA. Love that boy :)
Got home and talked to a really good friend for quite a while. Had a really good talk, a really meaningful one and I'm glad we did settle lots of things and talk about other stuff too :)
Slept early, with every intention of waking up early. Intention was there. Woke up at 11.45. Around there la. HAHAHA. It was super super super super SUPER windy. Shiok. I think sleeping for 12 hours makes me feel =D Seriously. My mood was so good today. Hahaha. Did lots of work, quite a lot la, I guess =) Went down to collect the mindmaps, that guy. Told me it'd take 15 minutes, ended up waiting an hour. So no Yakun and we headed to the coffee shop for a very large bite since we were going for supper.
CBSI was good, Josiah is super adorable =) His eyes are quite glassy, not sure why though. Hahaha. Had a good talk with Melissa, haven't caught up with her in a while :) Supper was good, and I have no idea why but I was super happy when Desiree said she was coming along. Like, seriously super happy. HAHAHA desire-e are you touched? =P
Supper was good, of course. But quite full ah must say. And the car ride home was super nice. I didn't sleep (first time in a long long long long long time). Of course la, sleep until 11.45 still need to sleep in the car meh? So anyway, talked about quite a lot of funny things with my family. And we were all laughing like crazy about some silly stuff.
Like on the flyover back to Punggol, I was smsing and then...
Dad: I hate it when this slow car drives in front of me. Cannot overtake.
Justin: -laughing- Just overtake la!
Me: -still looking at my phone wondering why my dad wouldn't overtake since that's what he does oh-so-well, without breaking any rules of course =P-
Me: -looks up and sees police car-
Dad: Ah, ah, see this guy coming so fast ah. Sure brake one. Come on, overtake la, come come!
Guy in blue car: -overtakes quite quickly and we see the brakelights come on-
(Insert Hui laughter here)
Dad: Ah another one! See this taxi. Wahhhhhhh speeding. Ok ah, he's gonna brake. Watch ah watch ah!
Taxi: -zooms past, literally ZOOMS, and brakes immediately when he's just behind the police car-
Wah, siao man. Really laugh like mad. Oh well. Nice to laugh with my whole family around =D
So today's been a fantastic day, until I realised something that upset me quite a lot. But I went to repent so I'm ok now =D And I realised I forgive others so much more easily than I forgive myself. And I cry for others so much more easily than I cry for myself too.
So if you need someone to cry with you, call me! :) Or if you need someone to hug or talk to, I'll be here too :)
Anyway, I'm feeling so blessed :) It's really nice to love and be loved. Thank God for loving us, eh? :) Yup. It's really a nice feeling to be in love. Lemon tree =P
Ooooh and I remember what I REALLY wanted to blog about! Diao. Was really encouraged by this passage I read in Revelation 5:11-13.
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing!" And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honour and glory and might forever and ever!
I don't know why, but I was just so struck by those few verses. Really amazed me :) How worthy our Lord is of praise :)
Have an awesome week, everyone! :)
