okay grades are out:
PL1101E Intro to Psych: B-
NM1101E: Comm in new media: B
SW1101E: Social Work: B
EL 1101E: B+
GEM2507: B
Overall cap: 3.5
well its definitely not considered GOOD, but guess i should be contented. Failing mid-terms for psych and yet managed to pull off a B-, guessing 80% for SW MCQs and writing totally out of point for the essay and surprisingly getting a B, i swear its purely none other than God's grace (:
well but at least my hope to major in Psych in not in vain now. Is this an answer from God that yes psych is the path for me? hmmm it might be, but....i really dont know, but we'll see.
plus my hopes to go for SEP arent dashed too! i mean since they say min cap 3.5 and no mods below grade C, so yeah guess i'll just give it a shot no matter what. *fingers crossed*
slpover at simins was pure fun. i mean we didnt exactly do anything thts really fun, but yeah like she said its just the time spent together that matters. we became pro-FB stalkers, brilliant iphone-gamers, and did many stupid stuff that....yeah its just a girls thing. haha <3
windsurf internal race on wed. went on the speedboat to be camera-woman. and i have to say i feel soo mega proud of myself for taking such wonderful pro-like shots (: xing xing say i shld consider getting a DSLR or semi-pro like hers. hmmm....its actually a good invest, esp if i'll be gg overseas. and i got to really sit still and see wht pro-windsurfers really are-ppl like samuel, weizhong, jeron etc. they're really woah...damn zai man. see them go against the waves and winds just makes my jaw drop in awe. its really simply wonderful. im starting to love windsurf soo much. the sport and the people. i dno, but windsurf ppl are really nice ppl. i just feel happy ard them (:
but i do feel bad for missing so many soc trg. oops =x i shall be more consistent in trg in 2010 - 2010 resolution 1.
anw Christmas is tmr! a couple of parties these few days. eat eat eat. feels fat and piggy alr. oh man. but it's alright, Christmas is once a year, and its such a lovely season, season of LOVE & giving! (:
MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS! (:
it feels like;

okay i've made a point to update my blog like today, finally
so just a brief summary of my uni life so far...
FASS
mods i took: EL1101E, SW1101E, NM1101E, PL1101E, GEM2507
talking abt mods, i better start planning sem2 timetable.
bidding starts 29 dec
abt finals, i swear i've nv ever studied so hard in my life before, nt even for As - says my bro. lol.
bt really, everyday i wake, study all the way till night. starbucks & macs has become my 2nd home, cos i cant study at home, its just way too comfy, conducive environment for slping, totally, plus no com no nth. how i wish i studied this hard for mid-terms. bt anyways its over.
sem break now, pretty busy ever since exams ended (ironically)
4-5dec: went for bintan mission trip. the pastor's 2 lil girls are so adorable. we packed rice, sugar, oil etc and distributed to the villagers. our last day was super exciting cos after doing all our stuff, the pastor wanted to bring us ard, bt it poured, so we changed our ferry timing to return home, and it was mega rush. cos we got back to the hotel ard 11, and the ferry timing was at 130, gotta check in by 1, then we still had to pack & gt lunch. so...it was such a experience
7-11dec: Sports exchange w soccer. interesting, fun, memorable. we were supposed to have 2 friendlies, with which they decided not to turn up on one of e days, and the other we only started at 12 when it was freaking hot. i dno if they're brainless or pure dumb, but yeah. the rest of the time were spent shopping and eating and cabbing and waiting for cabs. LOLs. packed lunch w/o cutlery -.- cabbies are just out to cheat our money. jiayu's niece is mega cute (: i got to know the team much more thru this, considering i wasnt in team for the previous comp, plus i wasnt v regular for trainings. so yup. bt yes i still do love the game. bt maybe i really wanna learn to know how to make decisions on wht to do on the field, cos im v dependent on taking cues from others, esp the other who're in the defence line w me.
15-17dec: windsurf camp. it was just wonderful. think i enjoyed this camp much more than the windsurf orientation camp in july. prolly cos i gt to surf more, as in cos i've acquired the skill alr, and managed to gt further out into the sea, plus im more involved in the whole camp itself, plus im closer to the ppl, thou i met many new ppl, and they're all nice ppl. i dno, bt windsurf ppl are just nice ppl and i feel really happy ard them (: yeah im starting to love windsurf (:
17-20dec: church camp. definitely enriching cos its kinda focused. gained much, learnt much. laughter, fun, joy were all present. 'Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting' - the thing i rmb most.
i dno wht's God's plan for me, bt i pray tht it aint singlehood - thou it aint nth wrong. bt yeah its my dream to have a family of my own with kids! (:
and my uncle from aus came over; so is my iphone (:
he's like the best uncle in the world.
nxt up will have a few more gatherings.
i miss bestie badly ):
it's been a whlie thati almost forgot the feeling
of falling in love;

oh right im left with 25mins to half day off and yes i've decided to blog.
okay actually the past wk has been quite peaceful. caught monsters vs aliens on sat w tiff & friends. was a uber lame and dumb movie, bt we all had a good laugh. lols. okay i still wna catch night at the museum 2 and dance subaru!
just tht my 4 yr-old kid went overseas, till 18th, so 3days off no tuition a wk till then, which is quite a relief. finally have some time to breathe and 'take a stroll' in the park. LOLS. bt that also means less income for this month, bt with much more expenditure! cos oh retreat and all the other lil stuff here and there. yeah lots of stuff to prepare and make. and signing up for camps - they're NOT cheap okay.
okay so yeah taking half day off tdy to go bring sha out to celeb her belated birthday! woohoo! also gna reg for union camp! meeting wt too! havent gone out to literally PLAY for such a long while alr ever since....yup then it'll be stayover at winnie's new place! excited. hah. then precept bible study tmr morn, then tuition, then playmax trg. ohyes and im finally done with the board thing. well it isnt exactly fantastically nice with the wow-factor tht kind, cos i just totally have to idea at all how to make it and design it really nice and stuff (yeah i wonder where have all my creative juices gone to) but i still stayed up to finish it okay, so luckily tdy half day, if nt i'd be dozing off before lunch and aft lunch. HAHA.
and i really cant wait to end work! 1 more wk to retreat, then another wk more then im free! yay-ness! really really cant wait. i just wna start sch and be a student and learn stuff and all. then it'd be camps and spring cleaning my room. lols. and i cant believe it, its nearly half a yr gone for 2009, and i've worked for 6mths alr! 6mths has nv seemed to past so fast ever in my entire life. man...
you cant play on broken strings;you cant feel anything;that your heart dont want to feel;

okay quick update abt the past wk:
friday caught angels & demons w zong and tiff at westmall cos im so bored and needed to get out. lols. well the movie was captivating and sure it had a nice twist towards the end, thou i think having a lil background abt the catholic history wld be so much more helpful and useful in understanding the story and the significance of some details here and there. in a sense tht im sure i wld have enjoyed the movie much more.
last sat was playmax dry run. hmmm kinda fell short of wht i expected, bt maybe cos not everything is up yet, and extreme max isnt up! bt i really enjoyed the err..the one played indoors like the mind games kind. forgot wht max is tht o.O but yeah i think its still worth the time. gna ask my friends along (: so guys if yall are interested, check this out:
http://www.playmax.sg/. 12 & 13 june, SAC, 9-5pm. i'll prolly be gg on the 13th, saturday. so anyone interested just gimme a ring on my mobile or smth. then went church w the rest and joined in for screwtape. i personally find it interesting. and yes another reminder to me NOT to worry abt the future, which im alr constantly being reminded of thru -. - feels like a god sent guardian angel to constantly remind me of things which i should/ should not be doing. then rushed down SP for sports day! badminton then basketball. sure it was tiring but yes fulfilling, running ard like a kid again - like how i used to a few yrs back (:
last sunday had lunch with some deacons at american club. yes the food is marvellous. at first it felt like some very serious lunch or smth cos it was like smth kinda out of the blue - lunch for the A lvl grads with the deacons, sounds kinda scary right at the thought of it. plus no children under 12 are allowed into the dining area, plus no using of hp at the dining table. gosh! yes bt it turned out to be smth kinda informal la, just a casual talk over lunch kinda thing, with the deacons sharing their wise experiences and words of wisdom. maybe the motive was to like aid us in making decision of which course the take and like future prospects and how reality might be like probably cos we're the 1st ever largest batch of 19 yr-olds with so many A lvl grads? i dno. just my guess. then after dance went the esther's place for xue'er's farewell. yeah its really sad tht she's leaving cos she's one the teachers which i really had utmost respect for. and yes i've really learnt a lot from her, not really so much of the content and factual stuff, bt more of her attitude and love for god, her desire for god's words and her unswerving faith in God, which made me realise how inadequate and unequipped i am. well i dont dare to aim to be like her, bt i just want to know enough, to be be well-equipped enough to fend for my own religion. maybe i shld go read up on apologetics. but i believe she will be a blessing to the people there and be blessed in return just as much.
and the sat tht just passed, caught fireproof at DLCC. its a really good movie which clearly depicts how God changes lives. its abt how the power of love frm God changed the male lead and in turn salvaged a dying marriage. well many might say its just another movie, but really, just try it, experience it, and you know how wonderful the love of God is, and how miraculous HE is.
sometimes it just beats me, if only it happened to us, how different things wld have been now. this just further reminds me the imptance of finding a partner who loves the lord just as much, cos the basis and foundation of the relationship wld then be built upon God's love. sometimes you just cant deny it is a sign/reminder obvious enough frm God cos the sermon on sunday was on this very same topic. bt sometimes i just wonder, how do you know if it is ever god's plan for you to bring your partner before HIM? and your partner may accept christ lets say like just the last 10 yrs of his/her life since some ppl are just left for US to save. but we will nv know right, if we just shut all the non-believers outta our list of possible candidates. guess the most probable answer wld be only to pray and wait. hmmm guess i shld ask xue'er abt it before she leaves.
HC dance night after fireproof. met zong and jt before gg in, so we all sat tgt. rachew was there too. and thks peanuts for saving seats for us! (: think the dance was quite gd overall. i dno, bt im just easily amazed by the sheer abstract beauty of it, maybe cos i can nv dance like tht. maybe i cant say tht i know how to appreciate the art of it, but im sure i did enjoy the performance (: had a great time catching up with 'em at KAP. im sure these lovely ppl will be with me for the rest of my lives (:
had bu dao bu meeting on sunday. YES our very FIRST bu dao bu meeting. haha. cos we have bu dao hui in july, so better start planning early since its our very FIRST bu dao hui too! *excited* wna know wht you're in for? keep yourselves free on july 11, saturday, 3-6! hahaha (:
3 more wks to church retreat! yayness! then another wk aft tht to end of work! thou its not tht i have a contract or smth tht expires by july, just tht i intend to quit work by end june (: so in july i'll prolly be busy gg for camps, gg on trips with 2d/4h, PACKING my room (yes i promised my mon i'll pack it in july), clearing my table from A LEVEL stuff, YES A LEVELS, and packing my wardrobe - cos apparently its so cramp tht i cant put anymore clothes in, plus since i'll most prolly be revamping (well nt exaclty revamp) my wardrobe, bt gt new clothes ready for sch frm GSS! yeah so which means i'll have to throw old ones away, or those which i kp thinking and saying i'd wear cos it still looks decent so i cant bare to dump them, bt actually deep down inside i know i'll nv wear it ever again, so i dno why am i still kping those clothes for. or i'll nv find space to stuff my new clothes. haha.
so this wk's gna be the norm - work, tuition. then sat catching darwin movie abt evolution or smth. then sunday is GDOP - global day of prayer. yes which means i'll be missing dance ): okay bt yeah i chose to go for GDOP and chose to give dance a miss. i mean GDOP only once a yr mah, and since dance they decided to do recap + cleaning up nxt wk for the halo dance. so nt tht bad, bt maybe i just gotta prac on my own at home or smth lo.
oh the ham and sausages which my company ordered are gna be delivered tdy! yayness! its frm this wholesale factory which supplies to like cold storage and most of the renown hotels in singapore. yeah so quality is kinda guaranteed and its at a cheaper price! some cheaper by as much as like near 50% frm retail price at cold storage. check it out if you want:
http://www.rudis.com.sg/customers.php. maybe jiateng you can go there buy since you live relatively near there. haha. if nt delivery charge of 20bucks aye! only waive if order above $200 excluding GST (YES theres GST)
okay so it seems the quick update aint really THAT quick afterall =x

I happen to come across this frm a friend's blog. So thts how our future MRT system is gna look like. The addition lines are the circle line, bukit timah line, downtown extension and eastern region line. I think its super cool luh, serious. Its gna be SO complex, bt its def gna bring much more convenience. Places like Bukit Timah, Marine Parade, Telok Blangah, Bras Basah and East Coast etc are no longer only accessible by bus and foot, MRT will be one of the alternatives.Well it may not really exactly be faster than taking the bus, but its def a good consideration, other than cab, if lets say you just missed your bus or its pouring so there might be a jam on the roads, so you know for sure you'd be able to avoid the traffic. I cant wait for the lines to be ready, esp the CIRCLE LINE! haha. its actually like more convenient for us cos no matter where we go, we still have to take a bus home frm clementi or change buses if we're frm anywhere else other than buses tht get to the mkt. yeah so nxt time prolly we can just take directly to west coast then walk home or smth. but im sure it'd be so much faster for us to gt to places like bishan, bukit timah and marina (: ppl are gna move all ard singapore much more frequent due to the sheer convenience and accessibility of it, which means more places in singapore can be further better developed and put into gd use without the fear of in accessibility or wht not. then theres also the north coast line which is under planning, but it sounds so exotic man, north coast line. haha. i'll make sure i'll sit thru all the stations and go to all the places at least once in my lifetime. hah.
YES I FINALLY FOUND MY HANDPHONE RADIO EARPHONES! (:

Miley Cyrus - The ClimbI can almost see it That dream I’m dreaming but There’s a voice inside my head sayin, You’ll never reach it, Every step I’m taking, Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking but I I gotta keep trying Gotta keep my head held high There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an up-hill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb The struggles I’m facingThe chances I’m taking Sometimes might knock me down but No I’m not breaking I may not know it But these are the moments that I’m gonna remember most yeah Just gotta keep going And I, I gotta be strong Just keep pushing onCause...There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an up-hill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climbGo check it out, its a really nice song (:
Tennis on sat was fun! It's been so long ever since i was under the sun, but sure it felt great (:
'Rushed' down to vivo to gt our movie tickets but all the 7+ and 8+ shows are in red (aka selling fast) so we checked with the counter abt the seats, all either first row, it nt are separated seats, so in the end we just got the 7pm tics - 1st row, as usual. haha. thts wht happens if you dont book and just decide to buy there on the spot. but its alright, the movie satisfied me. 'hey you ppl! those right at the last row! we were so much nearer to wolverine than you guys are okay!' LOL
X-Men origins: Wolverine. Its mega cool. I'd give it like 10/10. It's just really so cool la. you gotta watch it for yourself in order to know wht i mean.
Sunday was mothers' day! ehh nth really special thou =x treated her to 'guan ai' and lunch, then bro treated sakae dinner! wanted to get her some facial stuff, bt realised she got it on her own alr. and i realised a cake was missing this yr! no wonder it seemed kinda...empty. oh and our washing machine finally surrendered. previously it cld still drain the water, bt not spin, now it couldnt even drain the water. my mum had to squeeze dry the clothes and scoop out the water manually. ahhh its been hard on her ): so we finally got a new one! and it arrived ytd! haha. okay nth special abt the washing machine, its yt another norm washing machine. sorry no surprises. haha.
tdy shld be an early day for me again! if it doesnt rain anytime frm now till ike 630. cos it means my kid will be going swimming and so theres no tuition! so hopefully i can successfully and peacefully get home by 630. *fingers crossed* (and yes im sure i brought my keys tdy. hoho)
and theres red thread and fighting spiders! yayness (:
just as i thought 16may wld be so uber packed for me and i had it all planned out nice and well alr, suddenly everything is like cancelled, wht a disappointment. FASS open hse is called off and so is BBQ (whtever the reason is) sigh ): but think we'll be having sports day! haha (: oh and i received letter frm NTU tht they're gna have a tea session on 16may at some hotel or smth. still contemplating whether to go, dont really feel like gg thou, bt i just wanna hear wht they've gt to say abt the psych course. ugh.
and esther's finally gt acceptance frm UWA! sooo happy for her, she's been waiting so anxiously for it (i so totally know how tht feels okay) yup BUT im so sad tht she's gna leave in like july ): then it'll be no more esther till dec ): im really gna miss her so much. ahhh i cant imagine saturdays and sundays without esther! ): im just so so used to seeing her every wk. thou its only 1.5yrs, bt still, sigh. hey whts this man, i shld be feeling happy for her, she's going there for the better, and its nt like she's nv coming back. sigh gf might be gone soon too. everyone's leaving! ):
so maybe its time to start making smth. dont want it to be so last min and make crap in e end.
gf had her nus double degree interview tdy. hope it went well (:
hope chubby can endure the trg and pain of learning how to move gracefully presenting oneself elegantly. it aint gna be easy aye. and pls know your limits, dont think such sacrifice is worth it. i trust tht you know how to make good judgements and decision for yourself.
saw stubby on the way home ytd. was pleasantly surprised. i look at the time and just as i thought if i wld bump into stubby, i saw a very familiar backview and i knew it was stubby (:
