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! (:

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

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 (:

didnt managed to update tht i got NUS letter the next day aft i got NTU's. so yup FASS offered. it came in a package, with all the upcoming camps available. and yes its just SO happening. actually guess my heart was long with NUS alr due to proximity. but i didnt want tht factor to you know like affect my decision of which uni is actually better matter-of-factly for wht i wanna take. the most vital part is tht NTU offer direct honours while NUS dont. well there're def pros and cons. i was talking to a friend then she was saying yes NTU offers direct honours, bt whts the point of taking the honours and wasting one year if you're really not up to it. then you'll end up with wht 3rd class or 2nd lower class honours - which is totally useless. might as well just get a degree, work for 2 yrs or so, then continue to pursue a masters, which wld be so much more wise. so i was thinking yeah thts very true. so if i really want an honours, gotta make sure i study real hard and earn it, make myself a worthy candidate for it. plus NUS sch life seems so much more fun la. and yes its so near! haha. my principle still stands back frm 2 yrs ago - if i shld stay in SA or move on to AC. i didnt want the distance and travelling to be a burden for myself and be complaining and everything and just hate myself cos i made tht decision. i dont wanna regret making those choices. yeah so it still stands. and yes NUS has the LPP! so guess i shld work hard during yr1 and apply to take a 2nd maj in 2nd yr or smth (:
thank you lord (:
anw so yeah labour day was spring cleaning day at church! omg the room A and the children's cupboard has sooooooooo many stuff. i aint gd at spring cleaning cos im nt throw-away person. im a person who keeps keeps keeps as long as they seem to be in working condition, bt will i ever use it, or gt to use it i dno. unlike auntie elsa everything just throw throw and throw. thts how our clearing was done so swiftly. lols. and the eng con has just too much stuff which they didnt even know existed cos they just kept it there forever. some presents were still nicely wrapped, and whts it inside no one knows. and theres like boxes and boxes of books, reading & teaching materials, stationery, T-shirts and wht not. stuff which you nv imagined there wld be. so much of those lil things that we can actually start a garage sale. im serious! lol. then lunch at keppel club - peranakan food! its super nice! (: then haagen dazs at vivo. woohoo! haha. wht satisfaction. lols. but i finally knew the meaning of labour day.
sat morn was supposed to tennis w hui and mirah at montery. bt apparently hui realised she forgot to book the courts when we're there! and yeah there was a boy having trg. so sigh. nvm we chill out at her hse, talked a bit and mirah started a birthday party idea for both of them. and im supposed to like help them design their invites! so cool right. haha. then cabbed to tuition cos i was so lazy to travel and was getting late. then tuanqi was sharing by xue er abt missionary. it was a very interesting and thought provoking and close-to-heart sharing. it kinda spoke to me, got me thinking. i just admired the way she handles herself, her life, all in accordance to God's words, the kind of intimacy she has w God. its just amazing. she's a source of inspiration and motivation. yeah she's leaving for thai to be a missionary on 7june. gna miss her. but i sincerely wish her all the best in her future endeavours and may God be with the couple always. yes our God always provides (: then 4h dinner at glasshse, then timbre. yeah miss jt much much and he slimmed down sooo much. think his mum see him like tht confirm heart pain lo. he said he lost 6kg, bt still wants to go on a diet -.- seriously. army will fix you into good shape man dont worry.
and our journey to timbre was much worse than the other time which i lead okay! thks to tht chicken. lols. cos at first we didnt know the one at boatquay was actually e one which he said at cityhall. so we mrt frm dhoby to cityhall. then he say it was the one near smu so we cld have actually walked frm dhoby -.- okay then as we walked he said it was art house which is the one at boat quay! goodness! ugh. we cld have took at bus frm ps or smth la. oh wells. hen is just hen. haha. then cabbed home cos gf joined us so tht makes 3 a cab. wld have cost ard the same w night rider then cab. anw many of them have uni offers and all super good one lo pls. like wt offered nus double degree chem eng & economics, then hen offered ntu double degree biz & accounting. goodness man. both of them confirm earn big bucks nxt time lo. then jt offered ntu enviro eng. and zong has interview for ntu biz, so he went to buy clothes for it. LOLS! had a great time catching up. haha. funny stuff.
then sun met up with 2d lovelies. i miss them so much man. its been soooo long since i last met up w them. cos the previous one erhem forgot to msg me abt it cos she wanted to msg me sep w some other stuff. lols. bt its okay i still love her. haha. sha has ntu accounting. had fun catching up w them too. esp abt all the uni stuff etc cos we're all gg thru e same thing now. so yeah. hey we shld go holiday at some msia island tgt aye! it'd be fun! wheee~ haha. bt couldnt stay long ): cos had dance at 4. and i was so sad cos i couldnt do pirouette! ): i couldnt turn and land properly. sigh. its just so hard. okay nvm jt say he'll teach me when he's out. then went shangri-la hotel for international buffet with erm my uncle's friend and the friend's cousin - who's jen's cell mate, so jen was invited too. haha wht a weird combi right. dont even know how my uncle manage to know abt jen in the first place. lols. well the food's great. and theres just freaking so much things to eat! goodness. yeah my stomach was on the verge of bursting like how a balloon burst if its overstretched by the incoming air. bt it was satisfying and fulfilling. DEFINITELY. haha.
work starts again today for the week, and the month. gosh. another month of 20 working days to go. sigh. and guess theres no public hols tht fall on weekdays other than the labour day tht was just over. neither am i going anywhere to play which requires me to take leave ): i mean of cos i can always take leave to like rest at home whenever i want, okay the point is tht no one is asking me out or to go anywhere ): okay nvm maybe i shall be really good and responsible this may and work the full 20 days and tuition diligently - looking on the fact tht i missed so much the past few months cos i had running ard, flying ard playing and enjoying life. hoho. and im gna miss 1 wk in june too cos of church retreat, gna miss 1 wk of tuition cos tutee is gg shanghai (SHANGHAI?! dno if its gna cancel or wht now), and my 4yr old kid is flying hk&china in june frm 3-18(eh also dno if its still on, bt prolly yes) so yea will be missing quite a lot of lessons. so i shall try to pack more in may!

LOLS! haha. anw theres man utd-arsenal 2nd leg tmr morn! i shall follow-up (:
Remember those walls I built Well baby they're tumbling down And they didn't even put up a fight They didn't even make a sound I found a way to let you in But I never really had a doubt Standing in the light of your halo I got my angel now It's like I've been awakened Every rule I had you breakin' It's the risk that I'm takin' I ain't never gonna shut you out Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away Hit me like a ray of sun Burning through my darkest night You're the only one that I want Think I'm addicted to your light I swore I'd never fall again But this don't even feel like falling Gravity can't forget To pull me back to the ground againYes I can feel your Halo (:
