Thursday, April 29, 2010 :)
Been slightly more reflective this week, and enjoying my QT slightly more, when I do actually sit down to do it. I've realised that doing it at night, after the day is over, and when the night is calm and quiet, kinda helps. For a while I tried to do it at the start of the day, you know, like beginning the day with God. But it was pretty distracting - wanting to get on to the more "fun" stuff, ironically forgoing what fills me up for the day. Anyway, I think doing QT at night is good, so I shall stay with that for now! Unless I have some long day ahead and I know I won't have time to do QT at night... Or I would have time, just that I'd be half dead.
So let me summarise my week for you, whoever is still reading (I doubt there is anybody reading since I stopped blogging in JC =( )
1. Cooking with Ah Bu Gu on Tuesday!
Ahem, we made original dishes okay? I cooked "heart-shaped pie" while Ah Bu Gu cooked "Pasta Alla Parmesan"! What it was supposed to turn out like was Sherpherd's Pie and Pasta Alla Carbonara LOL. I must admit that the Carbonara was awesome though =x I think I'm gonna try cooking it. Hehehehe. Butter rocks, by the way. Just plain spaghetti with butter smelt soooooooo good! But erm didn't taste good la. Smelt good only. hehe.
Then headed to meet Mum and Dad at Bugis. Bought a good luggage, a winter coat, and 2 lovely scarves! :) Now it's left with the hiking boots (i think that's about it...) Got pretty cranky cos I was so tired, and the aunty kept showing us more and more and more jackets/coats/sweaters/wool stuffies which were so ugly and I wasn't interested but Mum kept following her and I just wanted to go home cos I was so tired. But we stayed out until 9+ so we could pick Justin from NUS =x (Oh I met them at 5 or so) But it was worth it! Justin was having exams so a small sacrifice goes a long way :)
2. Ubi and Tuition
Tentative test date was given to me - 8 May! Pretty soon, pretty scary, but as of today I just got told that it's TOO soon, so I can't take the test on 8 May. Good and bad huh.
It was raining pretty heavily on my way out of CDC, and there was a lady whom I'd noticed standing near the zebra crossing for a while. So I asked if she was going to the bus stop. She was, so I shared my umbrella with her. Which was really nice :) Hehehe. And she really appreciated it too! :)
3. OM & Shutter Island
Went to the OM office today. Intended to wake up by 8.30am to leave the house at 9am and reach the office at 10am. Unfortunately, I ended up snoozing the alarm from 8.15am to 9am, somehow managing to wake up at 9.30am and leaving the house at 10am to reach the office at 11am. Nice.
Went with Dad to check out the Macbook, probably getting a Macbook Pro to bring to Africa and hopefully to Uni as well (unless it gets stolen sianjipua but i definitely hope not and i will protect ittttt). A very generous lady from KPC is sponsoring it :)
Went to Timberland to check out boots but they only had 1 pair which I didn't try on. Should've uh. My lovely cousin also offered to get it for me...
You know, I've had quite a few unexpected offers and I'm really very moved by it. People coming up to offer a very generous amount of money/support so that my trip will go smoothly and so that I'll be able to get what I need. Probably none of them are reading this, but well, I just feel very thankful. :)
Anyway! Watched Shutter Island with Dad, Just, and the best friend! It was really good. :) Go watch it please. Hahaha. Oh and btw, the food court and Somerset@313 ah, don't eat from the Korean stall. I was so shocked to see the lady just take the ramen out of an instant noodles packet and cook it for me! AND. She took about 15 minutes! AND. It cost $4.50 on its own; you have to add $1.50 if you want meat. LIKE WHAT!?!? AND. it wasn't even cooked properly. Epic fail leh. Waste my $$$...
4. PIXAR!
Okay, that's for tomorrow! Going with my best friend to The Science Centre where they have a PIXAR EXHIBITIONNNNNNNNN =D =D =D -excited ttm *cues applause and dance*- Hopefully will be able to get Mummy a present for mother's day, and cor cor a present for his birthday :)
I think they both deserve lovely presents. Maybe I'll make cor cor something. jijjles.
5. Escape!
Going to super boring Escape on Saturday, with super happening people! ;) Hehe. Sian la, they voted Escape over the hapxz Zoo leh! ESCAPE OVER ZOO LEH. WA LAOXZZZZZZZZZ SIANJIPUA!!!!! but it's okay! Cos it's free. And the company is more important ah :) Basically going with FAZALL!!! MUU AND ALVIN! too bad TKC is in army. Hahahaha.
Ok to end off this long post (wow, first time in such a long time hahahaha) I'll tell you that I've been very addicted to this song. Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy. Go listen it's sooooo nice hehe. Also, Realize by Colbie Caillat is good too! :) Been wanting to tell my sidekick about it but... circumstances prevent it. Too bad.
Take care everybody! Good night :)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

1) Been reading Chuck Norris's facts. Super hilarious - never laughed so much at 1am in the morning. Okay, maybe I have. But not so much in so long!
2) PIXAR ANIMATIONS IS HAVING AN EXHIBITION AT THE SCIENCE CENTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <--- yes I'm so going.
3) I managed to do a flying kick today! I think I inspire Chuck Norris and his roundhouse kicks.
4) I can't find my old blog LOL. The one where I'd write a whole blog entry using idioms... retarded geek HAHAHA.
5) Emilyn came to church today, and it was great :) :) Hope she can come for YAWA and I'm REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT COS I WANT PAINTBALL AND RABBIT FARMMMMMMMMM!
6) Visited Aunty Sophie and saw the newborn baby :) Erm, she was so tiny on the huge couch I might've sat on her if dad hadn't pointed out that there was a baby on the couch. HAHAHA. Adorable ttm. Laetitia, Naomi, and Alex too :) Sarah went back to England yesterday so didn't get to see her :( (Ps: they're my ex-neighbours, kids are french-chinese! Super good-looking, just like me)
7) Meeting up with Kimmy tomorrow! FINALLY. After like half a year of good intentions to meet up LOL.
8) There's a mega Kids Adventure at Safra Jurong - Adults can play too! SO THE KIAS ARE GOING SOON MUAHAHAHAHA.
9) More people going into NS this week - actually, everybody else going in. Including evil twin, miko, domz, koong jye, chris, tianjun, zikri. Wonder if it'll be different. I kinda miss Peh Hor and his nonsense and I hope his tummy has like disappeared so he wont have to suck it in HAHAHAHA.
10) Excited and nervous about South Africa. Plans are still not firmed up yet, lots of travelling in between trips... And I don't warm up to people that quickly/comfortably, although after I do, it's all good.

Relax please.
With much love and concern,

I AM SO FRUSTRATED I AM GONNA EXPLODEEEEEEEEEE ARGHHHHHHHHH this feeling sucks.
What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!12:03:00 pm
Last night, I was praying before I slept, thanking God for letting me be born into a Christian home with a lovely Christian family.... And then it struck me.
If my family weren't Christian, I'd probably never become a Christian.
1. I'd think I'm good enough on my own, since I can get good grades, have good friends, pretty good at what I do... I'd think I were self-sufficient.
2. The idea of giving up all to follow Christ just wouldn't appeal to me - I'm already so self-centred, and if it's not for His grace, I'd be even more so.
3. I'd probably be one of those who just isn't interested in religion at all, not really wanting to hear what my friends had to say about Christianity anyway - why would I need "religion" when I'm doing fine?
And with that... I was even more thankful. Because I knew that if not for His grace in blessing me into such a lovely home, I wouldn't be who I am today.
I am a child of God! :) And that brings me great pleasure and joy :)

Mac Ritchie!
Headed to the dentist today and then to Mac Ritchie with Daddy! :) It was a nice nature walk and it wasn't too hot. 7km! Not bad... Up down up down up down no wonder my knees pain (WEAK!!! and old i hope i don't have osteoporosis like mummy)
FTT is later on! Managed to pass all 10 trials yesterday so I'd better pass today if not zzz epic fail!
Er I forgot what to blog about -_- OH. KICKASS WAS KICKASS MAN!! SUPER AWESOME it was really good. Other than the sexual stuff and excessive f-words (some of which I thought were used in a very funny way so I was giggling. HAHA like "that's un-f***ing-believable!" so retarded that I laughed. Not that I encourage such language of course... Ahem.
And of course it was quite gory but not the -cover eyes in fear- kind. Just like -errrrr.... okay......- kind. But it was good! =) go watch please thanks.
Ok I forgot whatever I wanna blog about. Sorry, I know this is a pretty lame post -_-
OH OH OH OH I REMEMBER HAHAHAHA.
Colbie Caillat's songs have been playing in my head non-stop for the past few days. Other than on Sunday, I think. I don't know why I'm SUDDENLY addicted to them. It's sudden, I've had her album on my iTunes for a while already.
But the interesting thing is while waiting to give Li Li tuition on Thursday, I just sat downstairs for half an hour, listening to her music and singing. And I felt so.... happy! Just singing. And I suddenly realised that I'd forgotten how happy singing made me. I was just so carefree! I think I forgot how happy I felt because I've stopped singing in the bathroom for a long time now. I don't know why. Maybe cos I'm always thinking of serious stuff while having a shower. No, I don't know why.
SO ANYWAY. I had this crazy idea of becoming a busker! And I got so excited! Hahahaha being able to do what I love (sing) and just... Sing la! I don't really care how much $$$ I make, since busybumblebee Singaporeans don't even stop anyway. Contacted my sidekick about this massively exciting plan. Sidekick said "hahaha and get arrested for terrorist attacks" ya thanks I count you out of the plan HAHA.
So... anybody wants to busk with me? We've got a month! Right by the time we get the license I'd be gone. Pfft.

I am gonna be an F1 driver.
Have you heard? I managed to DRIFT! =D Okay so I was turning out from Comfort Delgro onto Eunos Link then stupid bus lane. So must change to the right. Then those idiots behind me kept overtaking a poor L plate student. So I angry! See one small hole then VRROOOOOOOOOOM (car makes weird noise) then off I go!...
Me: Eh eh eh, what was that sound??
AIK: Wa wa wa wa wa! Drift ah!!
Me: HUH? DRIFT? HOW HOW HOW I DRIFT?
AIK: Your car not moving but the wheel turning wad then when you move then you drift lor!
I know I know, I'M AWESOME HAHAHAHA F1 IS IN MY BLOODY BLOOD!
PS: AIK = Awesome Instructor Kelvin.
Managed to try ALL the parkings/slopes/courses at CDC cos it was so empty (i also donno why) which was great! At the end, AIK told me, "Actually, you're ready to take the test. I cannot find anything wrong with your driving. It's just that... you have no test date." Yes i know, thank you for reminding me!
Anyway I'm looking forward to YAWA = Berjaya hills! :)
On a much bigger note, I'm leaving on 3 June 2010. Confirmed liao! Excited and nervous simultaneously. Ok gotta resume my mega project to bring to Africa!

what an interesting feeling, getting angry with your best friend for the first time.
What, ho, what, ho, what, ho!11:59:00 pm
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. IT'S BEEN A WHILE!! =D
Erm okay, I don't even know what to blog about because so much's been happening... I'll just update you about S Africa.
I'm leaving in early June! the Ultimate Goal Challenge (UGC) is confirmed, and beings on 7 June. Till then, I've gotta buy:
1. A big fat luggage
2. Winter clothes
3. A laptop?
4. I don't know, I'm sure there's more to get...
So anyway, starting to get a little nervous. Mainly because I'm going to a foreign land, ALONE. For the first time. You know, having to find my way around to different places. ALONE. Although I'm sure the S African OMers will be nice =) (proven at the ILM already!)
Other than that, I'm really looking forward to it. I know God's gonna change my life for the better :)
On another note, Gan Ma got me a Lumix camera and IT IS A-W-E-S-O-M-E. You can actually set the colour tone of the pictures! like Vivid, Black-n-white, sepia, cool, warm, all that! I mean, i like Vivid/Warm la. Hehe. So shiok! And it also has a panorama function which I have yet to figure out how to use? And also BURST MODE =D awesome! =) hehhe yay.
