had our last sat choir rehearsal of just our batch :( i'll miss this period of time, seriously, but at the same time, i wonder wad is it lyk wen the j 1s join us :D quite exciting wen you come to think of it right. rehearsal was funn! and i dun feel sleepy at all! thank God fer tt! and i actually had the discipline to wake up early fer tt day's rehearsal even though it's not compulsory. well, i dun regret gng :D had reunion dinner at my cousin's hse. and sometimes, it's qutie tiring to play wif kids... i mean it's not a bad thing.. it's just hard to explain. LOL. but looking at them playing will somehow cheer me up, somehow.
had a special cny this yr :D at least fer the first day! coz it falls on a sunday! so we had service in the morning. visited my cousin's hse after tt.. and after tt, we had a family outing :D walk from kent ridge park to hortpark.. den further abit b4 heading back! :D had our dinner at sakae in our own room! it's damnn cool! yea and everyone's in a good mood. thank God fer tt :D
my b'day was on the second day of cny! and yea, it's quite boring though.. slpt fer almost the whole day for some reasons... some things really destroy my mood arrghh.. it's stupid to feel stupid on ur b'day right. and somehow i think tt my parents forget my b'day! :X but yea.. a big THANK YOU to my bro! coz he treated me to earthquake at swensen!! :D really cheer me up! really thank God fer such a nice bro! he really helps me a lot. not only in my academics of course haha!

sch kinda suck. had 2 rounds of lab session.. oh yea i just watched percy and the lightning thief! the story's quite nice! :D
i guess the medicine's taking effect. i'm starting to feel drowsyy :X

life's getting more and more tiring.
are we making our life hard?
do we deserve it?
partly i guess.
which means it's not entirely our fault.
it's just the wrong choice of word, misunderstanding and insensitivity.
hope that things will get better.
but nevertheless, thank God tt thing are getting better on the other side :D

my bro's back! :D
Thank God fer his safe arrival.
Thank God for giving me such awesome and caring fws, u just can't imagine how this encourages and motivates me in various aspects of my life.

i wanna see a doc!

it's only ONE week of sch, butit felt like i've been thru weeks or mths of it. :X i'm not used to the routine of waking up early.. listening to lectures/tutorials n slping early. yea, i needa change my body clock :X it's the first time tt my dad came to fetch me after sch :D we went to collect my passport after tt. waited fer quite long though :X so he brought me to eat at the place where my bro recommended him last yr :D yummy noodles! went to meet up wif kalyn at bugis and the rest b4 leaving for hazel's bbq! it's a nice get to together. i really miss those crescent days. still felt soo homely even after 1 yr. but we were forced to leave earlier coz some of us needa go to sch on the next day :X choir was so much better! :D we learnt new songs, finally. ytd was such a slpy and tired day :X lunched at crystal jade kitchen wif choir ppl :D and fer fellowsip, it was sports activities! din play much coz i was soo lazy :X
and wen i went home.. i was soo tired tt i actually slpt on the floor wen i onli intend to lie for 5 a short 5 min. another new week's coming..

oh mans... i can feel my energy being drained out.. due to lack of slp :X and it's only the third day of sch. couldnt really slp the night b4 sch reopen. tried to slp at 1 plus.. but after one hr.. i still couldnt slp. it's tt bad.. and i guess i have to re-adjust my body clock. i thought first day of sch would be fun, but it turns out to be quite bored and we actually had lecutres/introductory tutorials. couldnt get used to sitting down and listening to the speaker. and i felt really sleepy during lectures/tutorials.
had choir rehearsal after sch on tues. and the same thing happened.. i felt so sleepy and tired. all my singing techniques are gone :X i'm kinda worried and stress over this. at this rate, i'm worried tt i'll pull the whole choir down. SOOO, i'm gonna work on it to improve my singing! :D and hopefully, there's time.
and today, it's open hse. i felt soo soo tired although we only sang fer a few slots :X no stamina at all. and i couldnt really focus after such a long period of waiting and stoning... but nevertheless, it's quite fun! :D and i saw HANNA and JOEY today!!! and it felt soo good to see them! yea it's a tiring day.. reached home at ten plus. coz we had bs today. or rather prayer meeting. :D it's kinda cool. coz i realised, even though we kinda din really hang out tgt during the dec hols, we still felt close. and in fact, we shared a lot among ourselves. it's really great to be able to see how God help us in our lifes and it's interesting to find out abt their experiences. and yea, i felt soo much better after meeting up wif them :D is lyk one whole day in sch.. all the tiredness and stuff.. but after meeting them, i really felt kinda relieved. :D
but nevertheless,

Thank God for giving us this opportunity to bless the audience with our voices. ate at kfc after caroling! rushed off to buy foolscap fer karen wif wanling! and yea we were damnn late fer the choir party coz we needa wait for doreen! had a great time mann. seriously! we played. we ate. we sang. it's a heart-warming farewell too. :D and yea, had a really great time playing!

it's such a killer.
i nearly died.
seriously a killer.
i'm glad tt i survive thru today :X
spend A LOT at the cafe today. and i realise the tactics tt they use to earn soo much money.. by selling small portion of food at a much expensive price. and the food/beverages there are soo tempting.
went to acs baker to prepare some stuff fer tml haha! yea it's not entirely a failure though.
spend a long time toking abt choir stuff. yea, it's kinda sad amidst all the laughter.
ate at the food place opp beauty world wif karen mel stella wanling and renaldy. the food there's damnn nice! ahhhh and it's soo worth it.
tml's gna be a hectic day again i guess. haiz...

Long time ago in Bethlehem
so the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas day

ran 4km today :D it's a great accomplishment. it really helps me in reaching those high notes.. somehow lar. rehearsal today was quite awesome. we sounded soo much better as compared to the previous rehearsal. after rehearsal, me jack and wanling spent lyk 30 min to set up the card game tt han brought. -.-
and i realise i huv been spending time watching dramas, reading bks. BUT not on doing my work..

what's the meaning of life wen it's always so smooth sailing, wen you are not faced with any adversity or any troubles? maybe i'm beginning to learn to give thanks during times of hardship and i'm glad fer tt :D
really thank God fer giving me the strength to pull through the entire of today. and i've made a careless mistake. I have been relying on myself to try to pull through the ordeal. and yes, it's a big mistake mann. and hopefuly i'll learn from this mistake. I wanna thank God fer making me to come upon realisation of this silly mistake tt i've made. and yea, no matter wad, rely on God, trust in Him fer He will always be there for every single one of us, even wen u can't feel his presence or tt u huve drifted apart from Him. He has said tt never will he leave us nor forsake us. seriously, i'm realy glad to realise where's my mistake, and how it leads to the suffering. Thank you God! :D
one of the brother in 1723 shared this meaningful line with us: Prayer is the first priority, not the last resort. Indeed, tt's very true. :D

ohyea, i ran this morning! wif abbie and mel. ran 2 rounds out of sch compound and 4 rounds of the track :D and yess, it really helps in singing! but i really feel damn tired after a while.

choir in a few hrs time. hope tt it wun be as bad as the previous rehearsal. well, at least we did work hard right :D sadly, i cant make it fer the trip to SAM to sing wif the alumni..haiz...

it's a nice morning. ran wif some of the choir ppl today :D and yea, we ran 10 rounds! :D
felt quite accomplished coz it's been a REALLY long time since i exercise. ordered mac breakfast! i was damn full after tt. we had to chiong our breakfast, den bathe so as not to be late fer choir. the running really did help in our singing. felt warm-up and i could sing better, though i felt damn sleepy after a while. so we're gonna huv another morning run on sat. which means tt i needa wake up at the normal sch timing..haiz.. and becky won't be arnd on sat. :( one less ppl to run wif me and to go crazy alr. awww.. i think i shld really start on my work soon. yea, i noe i huv been saying this everyday.

tons of bad news i guess?
i think i'm getting a sore throat very very soon. shucks.
it's only the 2nd day of the week and i'm gng broke...
one mth of hol gone.. poof!
arrghhh, i dun really feel tt it's a hol. needa go back to sch lyk 3 times a week... and i haven been spending time revising/doing my work... shucks. arrghhh. no discipline at all.

oh yea, went to watch gokusen wif mel and marie today :D
it's quite nice! hahaha! i find the movie so touching. the teacher is able to transform a class filled with delinquents who dun really care abt each other, into a class where true friendship and brotherhood really exists. seeing the transformation in them makes me feel the warmth in this world :D

a great and meaningful lesson learnt today. it's a great and new experience. thank God for tt :D

wasted half of my day today...my parent woke me up at lyk 2 plus... and i still felt lyk slping! and yea... in fact i wasted one whole day! i huv been watching tv program since the time i ate my brunch. all the way until 10pm. dun ask me how i manage to do it. but time realli passes soo quickly. my time management suxs mann..

choir rehearsal today was lyk not bad :D at least we put in conscious effort in making music. and yea, today is the one-one session wif some teachers and abbie. it turns out to be quite nice haha! and yea, i totally agree tt i shld put in the same effort in my studies, esp chem, just lyk the effort i put in learning my music. tt's lyk one pt which i nv thought of. met up wif tunli sarah mel ella elena jiekang nick and shaun fer THE CHRISTMAS CAROL today! stoned at the basement fer DAMN LONG, until i realli felt damn sleepy and tired despite all the chattings and joking around. FINALLY, wen the movie starts, i started feeling soo tired. it's a nice movie anw, just lyk i slept at the present part. and yea after tt i was lyk half conscious.. so i kinda noe wad's happening/alr forget wad happened alr. but it's quite a meaningful movie though. the man did change to be better at the end of everything. and we can see how the change brought about a domino effect in everyone's life :D and yea, after movie, almost everyone was lyk rushing off fer dinner and other stuff. so it's onli left wif just me tunli and elena. and so we decided to huv our dinner at lot1! bused back and it's quite a long journey. maybe cuz it's a bus ride. and i really dislike bus ride. couldnt get used to standing on the bus :X ate at ramen! it's lyk sooo yummy! and b4 tt we were starving. but wen we were lyk halfway thru our meal, we were full ttm! so we decided to walk arnd and yea saw my bro and titus haha! met quite a lot of ppl at lot1 today. haha! anw, gtg now! it's quite EARLY. :X

ohhno.. today is kinda wasted! it's short(at least for me). coz i woke up at lyk 2pm today. and the reason being.. i slept late..very very late. haha! well... did nth much apart from the usual slacking after finishing the ppt slides. and i'm still not finished wif sarah's bk! and guess wad? it's only 197 pages but i took soo lnog to read it. but the bk really points out some impt points and the author manage to link bible verses to today's life and how we can face our problems. quite a useful bk :D and i'm halfway thru blood ties... mel and wanling are back from their Japan trip! 2 more altoes! :D but karen wun be coming tml... haiz.. i shall slp slightly earlier today coz i realli dun wanna kill myself fer tml's rehearsal.

was suppose to meet john in the morning. but he OVERSLEPT! so i just boarded the train if not i'll be late fer choir :X
i felt even more bored and sleepy today. yea, it's nice to sit beside hannah during rehearsal. she's damn funny! shant reveal too much details here muahahaha.
after rehearsal, abbie sheryl yueyue and me share cab to buona mrt. so each person is lyk 90cents each. haha! kinda dumb but no choice.. it's raining heavily and i lent my umbrella to jiekang during the hols. oh yar! and i forget to ask it from him during class outing! watched 2012 wif monica and sarah. i kinda lyk the movie :D not just the special effects, but also the way they express their concerns on their loved ones, even to the state of putting their own life at risk. it's a long movie though...
had dinner at astons :D nice food there! :D oh yea, and i finally get to taste the cheesecake tt we baked ytd. it's realli realli realli very nice! thumbs up!
ahh i'm off to read sarah's bk now.

din get to see the meteor shower this morning! i was slping den haiz... i think it'll be soo fortunate to be able to catch one of God's wonders. anw, met up wif a few peeps today to do STUFF haha! kkayss actually we had loads of fun doing it :D shafik's hse has got a home theater. damn cool right! met up fer this newly-initiated bs session. and ever since i got home, i've been having headache! arrgghhhhhh... maybe i shld turn in earlier fer now.

THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE!
it's a really useful book to aid us in our spiritual growth :D
the book actually includes bible verses, point for us to ponder/reflect, and of course each chapter serves as a step for us to get to know more about God's plan for us and Our purpose for our life.

The following quotes are those tt i find useful. :D
Reflect on them. I'm sure it'll help! yea :D

Your most profound and intimiate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days.

When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with imitating him and quoting him and speaking of him. But only insuffering will we KNOW Jesus.

Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest. (your yocus will determine your feelings)

If you are facing trouble right now, don't ask "Why me?", Instead ask, "What do you want me to learn?"

it seems tt time is passing so quickly. and yea my time is occupied wif rehearsals and dramas. oh yar! KAREN! now u cant say tt i'm crazy anymore! haha! coz u are even more crazy than me n rebecca! haha! but yea, the show's damn nice! i feel lyk watching 2012! heard tt it's a LONG movie. today is a.. kinda interesting day. there's actually a diff and UNIQUE way of eating hip hop jelly. omg! the way jack and abbie eat it... LOL. i can onli laugh lar. it's damn gross haha!
ohyar and i realise, during choir rehearsals, there's actually quite a lot of interesting obervations to be made :p muahaha!

and wen i went home.. i was soo tired tt i actually slpt on the floor wen i onli intend to lie for 5 a short 5 min. another new week's coming..

oh mans... i can feel my energy being drained out.. due to lack of slp :X and it's only the third day of sch. couldnt really slp the night b4 sch reopen. tried to slp at 1 plus.. but after one hr.. i still couldnt slp. it's tt bad.. and i guess i have to re-adjust my body clock. i thought first day of sch would be fun, but it turns out to be quite bored and we actually had lecutres/introductory tutorials. couldnt get used to sitting down and listening to the speaker. and i felt really sleepy during lectures/tutorials.
had choir rehearsal after sch on tues. and the same thing happened.. i felt so sleepy and tired. all my singing techniques are gone :X i'm kinda worried and stress over this. at this rate, i'm worried tt i'll pull the whole choir down. SOOO, i'm gonna work on it to improve my singing! :D and hopefully, there's time.
and today, it's open hse. i felt soo soo tired although we only sang fer a few slots :X no stamina at all. and i couldnt really focus after such a long period of waiting and stoning... but nevertheless, it's quite fun! :D and i saw HANNA and JOEY today!!! and it felt soo good to see them! yea it's a tiring day.. reached home at ten plus. coz we had bs today. or rather prayer meeting. :D it's kinda cool. coz i realised, even though we kinda din really hang out tgt during the dec hols, we still felt close. and in fact, we shared a lot among ourselves. it's really great to be able to see how God help us in our lifes and it's interesting to find out abt their experiences. and yea, i felt soo much better after meeting up wif them :D is lyk one whole day in sch.. all the tiredness and stuff.. but after meeting them, i really felt kinda relieved. :D

Long time ago in Bethlehem
so the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas day

ran 4km today :D it's a great accomplishment. it really helps me in reaching those high notes.. somehow lar. rehearsal today was quite awesome. we sounded soo much better as compared to the previous rehearsal. after rehearsal, me jack and wanling spent lyk 30 min to set up the card game tt han brought. -.-
and i realise i huv been spending time watching dramas, reading bks. BUT not on doing my work..

what's the meaning of life wen it's always so smooth sailing, wen you are not faced with any adversity or any troubles? maybe i'm beginning to learn to give thanks during times of hardship and i'm glad fer tt :D
really thank God fer giving me the strength to pull through the entire of today. and i've made a careless mistake. I have been relying on myself to try to pull through the ordeal. and yes, it's a big mistake mann. and hopefuly i'll learn from this mistake. I wanna thank God fer making me to come upon realisation of this silly mistake tt i've made. and yea, no matter wad, rely on God, trust in Him fer He will always be there for every single one of us, even wen u can't feel his presence or tt u huve drifted apart from Him. He has said tt never will he leave us nor forsake us. seriously, i'm realy glad to realise where's my mistake, and how it leads to the suffering. Thank you God! :D
one of the brother in 1723 shared this meaningful line with us: Prayer is the first priority, not the last resort. Indeed, tt's very true. :D

ohyea, i ran this morning! wif abbie and mel. ran 2 rounds out of sch compound and 4 rounds of the track :D and yess, it really helps in singing! but i really feel damn tired after a while.

choir in a few hrs time. hope tt it wun be as bad as the previous rehearsal. well, at least we did work hard right :D sadly, i cant make it fer the trip to SAM to sing wif the alumni..haiz...

it's a nice morning. ran wif some of the choir ppl today :D and yea, we ran 10 rounds! :D
felt quite accomplished coz it's been a REALLY long time since i exercise. ordered mac breakfast! i was damn full after tt. we had to chiong our breakfast, den bathe so as not to be late fer choir. the running really did help in our singing. felt warm-up and i could sing better, though i felt damn sleepy after a while. so we're gonna huv another morning run on sat. which means tt i needa wake up at the normal sch timing..haiz.. and becky won't be arnd on sat. :( one less ppl to run wif me and to go crazy alr. awww.. i think i shld really start on my work soon. yea, i noe i huv been saying this everyday.

tons of bad news i guess?
i think i'm getting a sore throat very very soon. shucks.
it's only the 2nd day of the week and i'm gng broke...
one mth of hol gone.. poof!
arrghhh, i dun really feel tt it's a hol. needa go back to sch lyk 3 times a week... and i haven been spending time revising/doing my work... shucks. arrghhh. no discipline at all.

oh yea, went to watch gokusen wif mel and marie today :D
it's quite nice! hahaha! i find the movie so touching. the teacher is able to transform a class filled with delinquents who dun really care abt each other, into a class where true friendship and brotherhood really exists. seeing the transformation in them makes me feel the warmth in this world :D

a great and meaningful lesson learnt today. it's a great and new experience. thank God for tt :D

wasted half of my day today...my parent woke me up at lyk 2 plus... and i still felt lyk slping! and yea... in fact i wasted one whole day! i huv been watching tv program since the time i ate my brunch. all the way until 10pm. dun ask me how i manage to do it. but time realli passes soo quickly. my time management suxs mann..

choir rehearsal today was lyk not bad :D at least we put in conscious effort in making music. and yea, today is the one-one session wif some teachers and abbie. it turns out to be quite nice haha! and yea, i totally agree tt i shld put in the same effort in my studies, esp chem, just lyk the effort i put in learning my music. tt's lyk one pt which i nv thought of. met up wif tunli sarah mel ella elena jiekang nick and shaun fer THE CHRISTMAS CAROL today! stoned at the basement fer DAMN LONG, until i realli felt damn sleepy and tired despite all the chattings and joking around. FINALLY, wen the movie starts, i started feeling soo tired. it's a nice movie anw, just lyk i slept at the present part. and yea after tt i was lyk half conscious.. so i kinda noe wad's happening/alr forget wad happened alr. but it's quite a meaningful movie though. the man did change to be better at the end of everything. and we can see how the change brought about a domino effect in everyone's life :D and yea, after movie, almost everyone was lyk rushing off fer dinner and other stuff. so it's onli left wif just me tunli and elena. and so we decided to huv our dinner at lot1! bused back and it's quite a long journey. maybe cuz it's a bus ride. and i really dislike bus ride. couldnt get used to standing on the bus :X ate at ramen! it's lyk sooo yummy! and b4 tt we were starving. but wen we were lyk halfway thru our meal, we were full ttm! so we decided to walk arnd and yea saw my bro and titus haha! met quite a lot of ppl at lot1 today. haha! anw, gtg now! it's quite EARLY. :X

ohhno.. today is kinda wasted! it's short(at least for me). coz i woke up at lyk 2pm today. and the reason being.. i slept late..very very late. haha! well... did nth much apart from the usual slacking after finishing the ppt slides. and i'm still not finished wif sarah's bk! and guess wad? it's only 197 pages but i took soo lnog to read it. but the bk really points out some impt points and the author manage to link bible verses to today's life and how we can face our problems. quite a useful bk :D and i'm halfway thru blood ties... mel and wanling are back from their Japan trip! 2 more altoes! :D but karen wun be coming tml... haiz.. i shall slp slightly earlier today coz i realli dun wanna kill myself fer tml's rehearsal.

was suppose to meet john in the morning. but he OVERSLEPT! so i just boarded the train if not i'll be late fer choir :X
i felt even more bored and sleepy today. yea, it's nice to sit beside hannah during rehearsal. she's damn funny! shant reveal too much details here muahahaha.
after rehearsal, abbie sheryl yueyue and me share cab to buona mrt. so each person is lyk 90cents each. haha! kinda dumb but no choice.. it's raining heavily and i lent my umbrella to jiekang during the hols. oh yar! and i forget to ask it from him during class outing! watched 2012 wif monica and sarah. i kinda lyk the movie :D not just the special effects, but also the way they express their concerns on their loved ones, even to the state of putting their own life at risk. it's a long movie though...
had dinner at astons :D nice food there! :D oh yea, and i finally get to taste the cheesecake tt we baked ytd. it's realli realli realli very nice! thumbs up!
ahh i'm off to read sarah's bk now.

din get to see the meteor shower this morning! i was slping den haiz... i think it'll be soo fortunate to be able to catch one of God's wonders. anw, met up wif a few peeps today to do STUFF haha! kkayss actually we had loads of fun doing it :D shafik's hse has got a home theater. damn cool right! met up fer this newly-initiated bs session. and ever since i got home, i've been having headache! arrgghhhhhh... maybe i shld turn in earlier fer now.

THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE!
it's a really useful book to aid us in our spiritual growth :D
the book actually includes bible verses, point for us to ponder/reflect, and of course each chapter serves as a step for us to get to know more about God's plan for us and Our purpose for our life.

The following quotes are those tt i find useful. :D
Reflect on them. I'm sure it'll help! yea :D

Your most profound and intimiate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days.

When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with imitating him and quoting him and speaking of him. But only insuffering will we KNOW Jesus.

Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest. (your yocus will determine your feelings)

If you are facing trouble right now, don't ask "Why me?", Instead ask, "What do you want me to learn?"

it seems tt time is passing so quickly. and yea my time is occupied wif rehearsals and dramas. oh yar! KAREN! now u cant say tt i'm crazy anymore! haha! coz u are even more crazy than me n rebecca! haha! but yea, the show's damn nice! i feel lyk watching 2012! heard tt it's a LONG movie. today is a.. kinda interesting day. there's actually a diff and UNIQUE way of eating hip hop jelly. omg! the way jack and abbie eat it... LOL. i can onli laugh lar. it's damn gross haha!
ohyar and i realise, during choir rehearsals, there's actually quite a lot of interesting obervations to be made :p muahaha!
