XOXO

The Vesak Day Week

Pei Shi jie came and left:( Two weeks flew by fast. Amanda and I met her on the tuesday that week for dinner and TGIF and before that Psj and I went to Far East Floral at Thomson. She needed to go there to get flowers for Magdeline's engagement ceremony. The flowers there are soooooo pretty!! I told her that its a must for her to do the flower arrangements when I can married:D:D hahaha. These flowers are treated way better than us, the people of Singapore I tell you. They are kept at 12 degree celcius and we are to put up with the fury sun, about 30 degree celsius. THAT'S 18 DEGREE CELCIUS DIFFERENT!!!! *rolls eyes*

Dinner time! and this time I didn't choke down a huge burger on my own. Hoho!

STEAK, hohohoho!

Ribs *winks*

These potato skins are my favourite:D

LOVESS

I've known psj for more than half of my life, since I was a small girl. I actually went with sway gu when he went on dates with her. Major lightbulb but owell, I believe that they had fun with me around. Or at least I hope they did:S Its too late anyway! ahahaha. PS: if you two are reading this, I thank God for sending you guys. Wouldn't have come so far without you:) and sway gu, I miss you a lot!

Salt cell and leaders' cell had a retreat that weekend too:D Steamboat for dinner, a crazy sing-a-long session before we went to sleep and self made breakfast in the morning!:D Chillax to the max, wheehoo! (pictures courtesy of Jo)

and we threw everthing into the pot, the slacker's way!:)

Look at those happy people eating....

May Le Pastor is hard at work again, making french toast for us:) I never knew french toast was made like that. And once again, I learn something new everyday.

The scramble eggs on the ride of the picture might look very disgusting but trust me, with those cheese on top of it. The taste made up for everything else! :D

99 Balloons

We watched 99balloons for one of the sessions we had. 99 Balloons is about a baby boy, Eliot who was born with an undeveloped lung, a hole in his heart and a DNA that placed faulty information to every single cell in his body. Despite all these, his parents never gave up and Eliot lived longer than doctors expected him to. Well he past away on his 99th day and at his funeral, 99 balloons were released into the sky. Eliot couldn't suck his thumb because he was born with clenched fists and when he finally did it, it was such an encouragement to his parents. More often than not, we take things for granted. We cast aside and not take these simple things like releasing our fists and breathing on our own into consideration. How often do we give thanks to God for all that He has given to us? We need to pull ourselves away from this world that keeps wanting more. We could have turned out a lot worse without God. Whether it's big or small, it's all by His grace and mercy.

Looking at Eliot, I figured that although my life isin't exactly the best, what normal people's lives are. I wouldn't trade anything in the world to have my life on a different route. God placed me in this situation according to His wondrous plans and there's no way I can ever comprehend them.

You are the same yesterday and today and forevermore

Here on your promises I stand

You hold my future in your hand

My solid rock, Almighty God

I worship you.

4 more days to the end of CTs!!:)

take me.

The people we meet in life come and go like the wind and most of the time we don't even bother to know them well enough. Honestly, I don't know the people around me well. Its too tough, too troublesome. The more I know, the more I feel. It doesn't matter whether the feelings are good or bad. I'm just try my best not to be involved. This isin't healthy and I know it well but it gets worse as the days go by. I supposed it comes with age? Maybe not. We all asssumed that our family members will never leave us, stay with us through the darkest times blah blah blah. But that's not true. People grow old, body fail them and soon they just leave. First, grandpa A left(well I was young, don't remember much) Then, grandma B left (that sucked so badly and I want her back, a lot a lot) Now, grandma A's time is about up. No, I'm not cursing her, she really doesn't have much time left. ( I don't want her to go, she is the one holding us all together, great family gatherings monthly. I really don't want her to leave) I always wondered, when will it be my turn? I don't want to see people who I love so dearly leave, really.

And gramma, I miss you.

GlobalDayOfPrayer

As we gather, pray and declare that our sovereign God is King, the defeated one will shiver, hide and be crushed once again. Prayers are important and united prayers even more so. It is just so amazing to see so many people from all walks of life coming together to worship and sing praises to the One who gave it all, the God who loves us and whom we depend on. I don't think I love God more than He loves me. No, scratch that. I know that God loves me way more than I love him, even when I'm so unworthy. I always wondered how can I ever repay whatever He has given me and it seems that the answer that keeps popping up is that I can never repay God and He doesn't even expects us to repay him. I supposed all I can do is to put Him first in everything that I do, to honour and to glorify Him.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstances. -1 Corinthians 13:7

I've always looked up to couples who have been together for a long time. Its never easy for 2 individuals to come together, even if they are very very 'well matched'. It takes huge efforts from both sides, sacrifices are made but yet its heartwarming to see 2 individuals become 1. No, I'm not talking about 'my hands are all over you' type of 2 become 1. I'm talking about how their thoughts become so aligned. Its a beautiful thing, a really beautiful thing. Jo and Ze Choa are one good example. They are amazing and I want to be like them. My number 1 favourite couple:D I'll not give up, lose hope. I'll be hopeful and endure through circumstances:)


<3

An episode of How I Met Your Mother a day keeps the doctor away:)

The start of week 2 and its only 5 more weeks to the June break! and that is how I encourage myself:)

Dinner last night to celebrate Bon's 18th birthday was a great way to end the weekend. I miss all of them like crazy. I'll give anything to have my secondary school life back but we all know that that is sadly impossible. But I'm so glad that we can still meet up like this:)

Steak here is gooooood, try the wild mushroom sauce together with it. You'll love it and will definitely go back for it because it's just so addictive:)

LOVES

My all time bestest best guy friends! Liangkai the ultimate camwhore and Tino the lame shit:)

Birthday Boy, Cihui, V and Me! Gosh you have no idea how long the three of us have to wait and beg Bon for this picture. But we still got it in the end! Hooray!:D

Anyway, statistics have proven that women in Singapore (i think its the same for women everywhere) live longer than men. Singstats states that the average life expectancy of women is 83.2 years and the average expectancy of a man is about 78.4 years. So why do women live longer in general? Macroeconomics's lecturer claims that its because women drive men to their graves. HAHAHA. Maybe..

And its time to hit the books but have the 500 miles song in my head though. Hmmm..

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

Just to fall at your door

Run Baby Run

A day of perspiration, sunburns and fun.

The weekend has been rather eventful:) TJ Duathalon at East Coast Park in the morning, I managed to drag myself out of bed! It wasn't easy, trust me. The good news: STEPH AND I DID NOT COME IN LAST. Wheehoo! Not wanting to come in last was the main thing that was running through my mind when I was running the second 5km. And the another reason that I managed to endure was Jinghan. If it wasn't for him, I would have started walking at the lagoon and not even bother to try to catch up with the next runner. A big time favour owed.

I'm so glad I'm done with this:)

Green Dot Day at St Margs was fun and mindless. Sean and I were in charge of a game store called Toss Ring. $3 for 4 rings to throw and if any of them lands on the bottles, there were prizes to be won! It sure wasn't easy, but definitely not impossible:) There was this family who came to the store and they didn't just let the children play. They turned it into a family affair which I had a great time watching them having fun; so keen on getting the rings looped around the bottles. Three Cheers to this family!:)

Toss Ring Store!:D

It was so fun that our muscle man Shawn decided to give it a try himself:) Ultimate FAIL though.

Sean and I just needed to take this picture, look at how enthusiastic we were. All we wanted was to be part of Planet 51:P

Thank God for the whole success of the funfair, the weather was disgusting hot at 2pm and I'm sure it was worse before that. But God sent rain to cool everybody down and ended the day well:) Singapore needs more rain and wind! And right now, I need a cold and sweet dessert to make up for it. The Mango Ice dessert at Ice Monster would do great now. I need an alternative. Think Alicia, think. AlmondLongan.Chendol.IceJelly.Soursop. Hmmmm...

So many good movies, so little time:(

Shows to catch within these two weeks:

1) Shutter Island

2) Ip Man 2

3) Iron Man 2

And there are a few more good ones coming up! Eg. The Losers. Hooray to goodlooking actors!

CHRIS EVANS. Melts a thousand times over.

Saturday is about to be over and Sunday will past in no time:( I love my weekends.

The journey has barely started but I know its a long winding road ahead. See that mountain at the end? Thats the happy part of the whole journey; THE END. Look again and see the winding road lost in the ups and downs of the landscape, thats the scary part. I can't see whats in front and I'm disturbed by the uncertainty.

I want the finishing line.


Dinner at night at Zoots!:D and its time for school now. Biz Law lect!
