Ha na ha na Jess you made my day la XP Was feeling pretty crappy until you asked (as seen in the email ahem) me if it made my day. Haha thanks for the unintended cheer-up darling! Hahahaha.
Take care all, and have an awesome week ahead. Remember what/who you're living for :)

What a week.
I think Jess is the one person who gets to see my crappy (seriously) side in school. As in, not crappy but... bad side. Hahaha. Especially when I'm moody. Thanks for tahaning my occasional moodiness when I'm tired! -hugs-
Had quite a few ups and downs this week, must say. And for the first time, I had the scariest feeling of being empty. Really empty. No peace at all. The feeling was just horrible, terrible. Ya. But thank God for His grace and mercy.
I love Mighty to Save. Somehow makes me stop and stand in awe of my Saviour everytime I hit the pits.
So that's a week. Been having so many dinners that I haven't been doing much work. Oh man. Well, time to chiong from here.
Take care everyone! And show practical love =)

Break's over!
Was talking to Sean (Yao, not ster) about giving our best for God. Pretty interesting conversation, and a good one at that :) Talking to JM too.
And I told myself my priority was to check up the schedule. Haha! But I did too :)
Oh well, this place isn't gonna be updated that often anymore. Time to chiong for O's. God give me the discipline to do it.
Take care all, and give your best for the one who gives you His best :)

Lalala =)
Brain's pretty tired from reading all about the Fundamentals of Piano. I'm only halfway through after like, 11 chapters? =( But it's ok, persevere! Thank goodness I'm not doing this last minute... hahaha.
Was pretty moody in school today, not too sure why. OH OH OH OH I KNOW. Oh my goodness.... Ok. I have the perfect explanation already. Oh my goodness I can't believe it =( Nvm =(
Went for lunch, discovered the prata at Banquet is shiok. Haha. Practised some piano when I got home and attempted to sleep but couldn't so got up and exercised. Quite happy about that cos I haven't exercised in 10000000000 years. Hahaha. Feel quite good after exercising I must say =)
CBSI tonight and staying over at Ben's with the Sec 4s. Think it'll be fun =) Wait, know it'll be fun! Dad's ordination tomorrow afternoon. I'm so proud of him :)
Ah, and Ellis is a crappy friend. Super. First time I'm talking to him online after 4 years? LOL. Oh well =)
Take care all =) Enjoy the break while it lasts!

Just read something on Desiree's blog...
Will we trade our dreams for His?
Something to think about for sure. Anyway, kinda made up my mind about something. Something that will be part of my life. Yeah.
Anyway, today I got back a few results, and I was pretty overwhelmed by God's grace. And I realised that whatever I got wasn't because of me, but because of Him. Was just really overwhelmed but I didn't say or show it. Just in awe. And for the rest of the results, I really don't mind if I don't do that well. Like I was saying to Jess today, I can hope for results, but I'm really ok if I don't do so well. I'll just leave it to God :)
Pretty sad about something else though. You know, when you see the people you love hurting so much, it kinda eats you up on the inside too. Yeah. I'll just leave it to God. I don't have the strength on my own to face this.
Anyway, Clara's Maltesers will kill me. Won't be too surprised if I'm silent in school cos I've lost my voice... Haha.

Hmmm.
Forced myself to sleep till 12 today. Hahaha. Sorry to Amandaong who was trying to call! =P Hey, I really forced myself to sleep ok. Got up at 9 and was super awake. Took half an hour to get back to sleep. Partially thanks to my curtain stroking my face. And the clinking medals. But oh well.
Had a weird dream. Super weird dream. Quite amusing actually.
And I just realised I saw someone in the previous dream. Someone I haven't seen in a long time, who technically, I should be seeing weekly. Mmm.
Anyway, don't really wish to blog what I feel like blogging about. Haha. Gonna attempt to do some research. Ooooh I have to send out an email first. Haha.
And I got the TeenStreet video! =D
Oleh, dinner's in 2 hours. I can't wait. Heh.

PRELIMS ARE OFFICIALLY OVERRRRRRRRRR!
-marianne dances around the house-
Chemistry today was tough. To make it worse I was half asleep and my brain wasn't functioning properly. Oh, but my eyes took a lot of initiative to close though. Thank God I spotted a few careless mistakes in the last 15 minutes.
I have learnt my lesson. For Paper 1s, just chiong through the first time and spend the next 35 minutes checking. Rather than taking your (actually, my) own sweet time doing the first round and not having time to check. Oh well.
It's so weird, the paper I practise most for was............ tough. Haha. But oh well, I dare say I put in my best effort for this one. Except the fact that I slept late, but that too, had a reason. So, I'm glad :) Just leave the results to God!
Gonna head out soon to Dhoby Ghaut. Haha. Meeting Jess, Jocelyn, KA, KJ, Tehteh and I think WWX to go play LAN. HAHAHA. Then Amandaballz and Rachelle are joining us at the Mind Cafe! WOOOOOOOO! Lasagne. Been longing for it for the past few months man. Haha!
Meeting Jasper, Melvin (i feel free! =P) and Cheryl for dinner after that. Really can't wait to catch up with them, those 3 never fail to make my stomach ache (from laughing)
So I'd better go do my QT if not I'll probably fall asleep tonight =( take care everyone!
DRINK MORE WATER AND LESS COFFEE! =)

Ahhhhhhhhh!
I can't find any stuff on Fixed Doh/Movable Doh. This Saturday's gonna be crazy. Gotta go buy somebody's present and buy my brother's black paper and go to the library and read up on Fixed/Movable Dohs. Tomorrow I shall sleep early.
Glad I completed my piano hw though =) And did 4years papers of Physics MCQ. Results improved from 32 to eventually 38/40 hurray! =) Hopefully tomorrow.... Hmmm.
Oh well, tomorrow's gonna be super fun. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Yay! =)
Take care all, and do your best for God =)

Tsk, I can't post videos using Youtube. Username too long ZZZZZZZZZ! So...
If you know what's good for you, CLICK THIS (points downwards)

It's Rylynn by Andy McKee, best stuff ever. Serious. You'll just die listening to it. Ok, you'll die happy. HA! Go go go! What are you waiting for! =P
What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!7:41:00 pm
Break!
Enough of Physics for today. I realised studying the textbook/mindmaps is sooooooo much easier than reading Mr Yap's notes. There's just soooooooo much info in there! It's good of course, but a little taxing on my puny brain. Haha.
And I really wanted to smash my head after reading through all the Sec 3 chapters. I'd intended to revise the NOTES, but somehow in my stupidity first looked at the TESTS, realised those were TESTS, and ended up revising the ASSIGNMENTS rather than the notes. Stupid right? Right. But it's ok, I learnt stuff from there too :)
So anyway, listening to Andy McKee. Man alive, he's good. Heard 'Rylynn' and asked my brother if he has an album. AND HE DOES!!!!! -jumps around- Sorry ah Shaun kia, found somebody who has better guitar skills =P Hahaha kidding! =)
So tonight it's time for A Maths! Jee, to think I thought today would be slack. Guess I'm wrong. Haha.
I think combat rations make you feel tired. Been having to take naps lately... or maybe the weather's too nice.
Oh, for one, I know the clouds are beeee-auuuuuuuuuuu-ti-ful! =) (hor amandong =P)
Take care everyone! :)

Been thinking a lot. Yeah, even while studying Biology. Actually only thinking of 2 things la. Other than genes, plants, blood, etc...
First thought came while I was listening to "Unashamed" by Starfield. And the lyrics just hit me.
And I know I'm weak, I know I'm unworthy, To call upon Your name. But because of grace, because of Your mercy, I stand here unashamed.
For some reason, that line just stood out of the song. And I just thought, God has so much mercy on me. He acknowledges me and is unashamed of me. He died for me even though I never deserved it, and nothing I do could ever make me worthy of even knowing Him. Yet He's unashamed of me.
So why should I be ashamed of Him?
It's so easy to be unashamed when I'm in a fellowship of those who're unashamed too. Yet when the time comes for me to declare His glory in front of those who don't know Him, for some reason I'm afraid. I hold back, I hesitate. I want to praise Him and just tell my friends how great God is, but fear holds me back. And gets the better of me.
I read in a devotional book for teenagers once that "On the other side of your fear, someone is waiting to know Jesus." Yet I choose be pessimistic and think of what would happen if they reject what I say, rather than what would happen if they actually listened.
I really want to throw this fear out the window, step on it, crush it, smash it, shatter it, whatever. I don't want this fear anymore. And I believe God will help me. :)
The other thing I've been thinking about is something totally different. I've come to realise how difficult it is to wear a mask. To try and be happy when inside, you really aren't. To be strong for someone else when just at that moment, you really need the strength and support.
Now I know how a parent feels, when he has to punish his child for something the child has done wrong. Sure, the child hurts, but it's true. The parent hurts so much more.
Isn't it the same with God? Imagine us sinning against Him, and because He's just and faithful, He punishes us so that we'll grow in Spirit and in Truth. It hurts us, and we even blame Him, but I guess we've never really thought of how heartbroken He is when He does that.
I've also realised how beautiful it is to give. To surrender. It takes so much courage, so much faith, so much strength to take that leap. So much energy invested, so much time given. Yet, in the end, it's all worth it. I love what Pastor Tim Tan said yesterday:
It's only when you take that leap of faith that you'll realise God's hand was there all along.
It's not easy, but with God, what's impossible? He's the one who provides the assurance, the guidance, the strength, and the faith. It's not from us mortal beings, but it's really from Jesus who is the source of our strength.
It's difficult, but I know it's the right thing to do. Everything in me tells me it's the right decision.
So now, it's time to obey. With joy. :)

HELLOOOOOOOOOO!
My-oh-my, I haven't been online this whole week. Siao.
And I haven't blogged my thank-yous. Piang, I think I'll only have time after O levels. Oh, wait, still no time. Probably in the middle of December. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Been pretty crazy recently, probably because I've been shut up for so long. What's the average number of words a woman speaks a day ah? Is it 10 000? I think for the past week it's been around 1000 for me. Oh, for today, probably about 50. Only cos I was singing "You are the Music in Me" to prevent myself from falling asleep. Oh, and cos I answered the phone too (of course, the call wasn't for me) so make it around 100 words today.
Mmmm. Wow. I'm impressed that I can actually shut up (verbally, and hence my fingers and moving like mad to try to meet the 10 000 words/day quota for today HAHAHAHAHAHA)
Oh, maybe I should ha ha ha ha ha ha ha rather than hahahahahahahahaha cos it makes it 7 words rather than 1 -_-
By now, you should realise I'm slowly losing sanity. Ok, maybe very quickly.
Sorry la, been shut up for too long you know.
So thankfully, I'll be meeting Kathryn and Samuel in an hour. Gonna watch Rattatouille and catch up on old times =) Another group of funny-surnamed people. Hui, Loke, Soon. Mmm. Nice.
Ok, excited about Rattatouille. Seriously can't wait to watch that show! =)
Oh oh and Glenn's gonna be discharged today. Yay! =)
ANDDDDDDDDDD. Ok nevermind I think I shall not scream what I wanted to scream.
OH. THE SKY IS BEAUTIFUL. The clouds rather. Ok that's part of the sky right. Heard some weird noise outside so looked out the window and PHOAAAAAAAAA. The sky was awesome. Sun's hot, really hot, but that's what makes the sky so beautiful. Took a photo of it but I have no time to upload it now (so I will probably NEVER get to do it)
Oh well. TAKE CARE GUYS! Drink lots of water and glorify God! :)
And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MO!!!!! Not that you're reading this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANYWAY =D

Somehow, I've learnt so much these 2 days. 3 days. 2. 3. Aiya, I've just learnt a lot. So so so much.
And I don't know why, but I've been coming on my knees a lot.
Jesus, help him and protect his life.
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again.
"Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
Chorus: But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again.
"Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!1:18:00 am
