on friday night i followed my parents to whitesands for dinner.
mum went to buy 50 bucks worth of underwear,
and she was entitled to this lucky draw thing.
heh heh.
i dipped my hand in and pulled out a $200 osim voucher!!
well, lucky ain't it?

yesterday morn woke up early to get to co,
only 2 people came, sadly :/
when i got home it started raining crazily,
so jumped in my bed and pigged out.
followed by a jog to pasir ris beach after the rain stopped.
while i was there, i noticed the beach was shamelessly polluted.
a wide range of rubbish,
from shoes to sanitary pads +.+
and causing all the fishies to die!!
well, i also noticed the water flowing in small streams back to the seas.
they looked exactly like the drainage pattern of rivers!
haha there were meanders, deltas, tributaries and so on!
how cool.
sadly there were no oxbow lakes.
hmm. manage to feel the nice sea breeze,
and was pondering on whether the waves were constructive or destructive.
then i jogged back home ^^
total distance covered: 2100m

well, followed mum agaaain to tampines mall.
she went and got the uZAP thingy from osim.
hehe courtesy of me, she got it for $68.
now she can zap away her fats HA HA!

it actually is quite cool anyway hehe.

okay, i'm going off to maple once again.
ludibrium is out! yay!
thanks watanoob for letting me use your old account ^^

LOVE;

was reading the purpose driven life yesterday night.
here are some tips i picked out for you guys(:

how can i bring glory to God
>we bring glory to God by worshiping Him
>we bring God glory by loving other believers
>we bring glory to God by becoming like Christ
>we bring glory to God by serving others with out gifts
>we bring God glory by telling others about Him

out of the above 5 things, how many have you done?

well, praise God all you people out there,
and make Him smile(:

what makes God smile?
>God smiles when we love Him supremely
>God smiles when we trust Him completely
>God smiles when we obey Him wholeheartedly
>God smiles when we praise and thank Him continually
>God smiles when we use our abilities

mmhmm, i'd recommend you the book called The Purpose Driven Life.
written by Rick Warren.
it'll help you become a better christian, just like it did to me!

cheers to you!

10 reasons why I am grateful

01. God gave me a purpose in life
02. i have 3 great girlfriends
03. i may not be rich, but i ain't poor and homeless
04. i have a friend named Jesus
05. the earth is a beautiful place to live in
06. my parents ain't the worst on this planet
07. my results aren't good, but not the worst
08. i have sufficient pocket money
09. my house ain't the smallest in the world
10. i may not be pretty, but i ain't grossly disfigured

HAHA thats funny.

hmm the reason why i started this "10 reasons why" thing in my diary was because i felt that nobody could be ever satisfied in their lifetime.
but actually there are many things that we have that we should learn to appreciate.
although one can't possibly own everything in this earth,
look at the small things all around us,
and see what we have instead of what we don't have.

trust me, it's a good way to cheer yourself up.

cheers to all ya people out there!

skipped school today.
dad didn't wake up and left home without me.
GRR.
ah ended up sleeping like a pig until noon.
alright, just realised my L1R5 is actually 26.
because i didn't know we had to count 1 humans,
blah sucky.
they lowered the meet the parents to 25 and above.
ah how unlucky for me =P

yesterday paid a visit to the library,
returned home with a truckload of books,
and finished them all before going to sleep.
sigh, zombified day again.

well,
teacher gave back the overall combined results today.
utter disappointment.
stupid CA1 made my life miserable.
by pulling my L1R5 down 4 points,
and lowering my average by 3 marks.
bloody, bloody CA1.
thus my L1R5 ended up like 24 points.
and like 21 points and above must meet parents.
so dead.
so dead man.
lets hope mdm toh has smth nice to say about me :/

sigh sigh sigh.
alright, next CA2, i'm gonna study like i've never studied in my life.

cheers to all out there,
Joy ^^

i guess we'll really have to put in alot more effort if we want to make this a successful co night.
jiayou everyone jiayou!

i'm in a lazy mood now.
feel like taking all my books and reading them the whole day in bed.
wheee that'd be fun hehe.
alright, i'll be back!

"parents fscuk the living daylights out of your soul and cast them into the deep blue ocean miles and miles away, but not only do the fscuk the living daylights out, they also fscuk all the happiness, smiles, joy, and laughter out of you, leaving you cold, miserable and lost." said by joy.

so, wanna know why they fscuk all those stuff out of you?
let me give you an example.

girl has a set of 2 keys.
mum takes out an identical set of 2 keys from her bunch of keys.
mum passes the identical keys to a house cleaner.
house cleaner cleans the house and returns the keys to the key hooks.
next day, girl accidentaly takes mum's set of identical keys.
thus girl has 2 sets of identical keys in her bag.
girl spends a happy day at school, and comes home.
girl goes for tuition, and opens the door home.
mum stares at girl coldly and asks if girl took her keys.
girl has no recollection whatsoever about taking mum's "bunch of keys".
girl says a firm "no" straightaway.
mum gets annoyed and complains.
mum wants girl to check her bag.
girl checks her bag, and finds an extra set of identical keys.
girl brings down the keys to her mum, and is about to apologise..
when mum starts criticising girl that girl cannot be bothered to help her.
girl feels wrongly accused and explains that she did not know mum took out 2 identical keys out of her bunch of keys.
mum continues scolding and stresses that girl does not listen to her.
dad points fingers at girl and waves it dangerously in her face.
girl feels intimidated, and tries to explain once more.
parents don't listen, and gangs up on her.
mum scolds girl for not saying sorry.
girl feels sad as she did not take the keys on purpose.
mum rattles on and on about the girl's bad attitude.
dad walks up to girl and says that there was no reason in bringing her up these past 15 years.
dad criticises that girl is worthless.
girl feels horrible inside, but cannot do anything.
she only can sit and pretend that she is not listening,
when actually every word stabs her heart like a knife.
girl has lost whatever happiness accumulated in herself during the day.

sometimes your home can fail to feel like a home.
many teenagers dread going home.
to them, it is just a place for them to rest.
but there is no love in that home.
there is no understanding in that home.

when will parents finally understand what it feels to be like us?
happily going home trouble-free, but turning into dread once a foot steps into the doorway.
never?
i don't know.

thats why many teenagers would rather hang out till late, and until their parents are asleep then go home.
perhaps our parents love us,
but sometimes they really hurt us in many different ways.

friends {and God} are still the ones closer to us.
they listen to us pour our sorrows,
and they UNDERSTAND how we feel.
they are always there to comfort us,
and give us advice.

sigh, how wonderful life would be if our parents were just like our friends.

hello world, i'm up for some blogging now.
ah the world is revolving 24 hours a day.
so when will it stop? and get stuck, or even fall into space.
then we'll all die die die.
bwahahaha i'm evil.
maybe one day the earth will get tired of turning,
the same way as we're so sick of books and lessons AND DEBRIEFS.
i hate debriefs,
and the way the teachers ask the reps to give out the papers.
the rep hands you the paper,
and you dare not peep at the marks,
knowing that you'll most probably not do well.
haiz.
well, so far so-so i guess.
hope i can ace e maths to pull me up :/
to all those unsatisfied with their results,
unleash your potential deep within(:
do what you ought to,
and try to *ahem* LOVE studying (taught by jingzhe)
lol, i wish the human brain was like a computer
and we could put discs in and store memory.
that way we wouldnt have to go to school.
just buy cds and save all the info into our head.
ooo brainless work hehe.
well, lame.
just some wishful thinking.
ahwell.
so long then, good ol' earth

finally went for another round of dazu.
yep my fingers are screaming out in pain haha.

went to bugis after dazu, took neos with shiang finally(:
walked round bugis street, and almost got lost,
there's like so much stuff there to see heh.
clothes, accessories, shoes, nail stuff and fooood.
got a voodoo doll earring too!
heh and the prices are loads cheaper than those in bugis junction =.=
went for some $3.90 manicure with shiang, in the end turned out like shit.
so went home and chopped off my nails. ^^

family had this gathering at fort canning country club,
had a tomYUM steamboat.
then small joshua said having a voodoo doll as an earring is very EMO.
but what is emo.
and i'm sure i am not the EMO kinda person.
heh had a fun time experimenting with gross choc mousse,
and COCONUT ice-cream with oreo,
blahblah.
nicest time i've spent with my cousins so far hehe.

LOVE; <33

12 May 2006

yep.

mid years are officially over ^^
bio was great heheh.
but hope i dont make too many mistakes.

had a fun time hanging out with zenda, melissa, grace and shaoyun.
missed shiang thou, she had to go for a birthday party.

well, my poor butt(literally my BUTT) was suffering after i happily volunteered to let melissa and shiang kick it on the way out of school hehe. ahh the crazy things that i do..

due to evan koh, we were stranded at some busstop far far away from civilisation, and had to do a great deal of walking to get back.
and even a greater deal of walking to get to FAR east plaza.
where we got caught in the act of playing with the toilet bidet =.="
the toilet cleaner was like hysterical.
ahh and i felt guilty.
we grabbed some funky postcards, and for shiang too!

then had some nice time trying all the shoes and clothes in the world,
and experimenting with some eyeliner.
gothic day for me again until managed to get some sample eye makeup remover at some shop.

saw jourdan poony poon, but he's not that puny now.
he's like TALL! helluva difference from that tiny bespectacled guy i knew.
people really do change over all these years huh?
saw priscilla from shps too. she's like in jc, and she still can remember me.
sigh, all those primary school memories when we were young and innocent.

yup, i miss those days and i miss those friends i had.
we meet many people in our lives.
thousands of people. maybe even a million.
how great if we could remember them.
walk pass them in the street, and go "hey! i know you!".
well, no comments. haha lame.

anyway, i have a song dedication to my parents.
yeah i'm very sorry that i made you guys wait for me to come home.

Now Playing:

3:30 PM

05 May 2006

alright, MYEs are here.
so far sat for compo, social studies, chinese and emaths p1.
my hand muscles are crying out in pain due to all the essay writing,
and i'm having horrible migraines every now and then.
at least i have a weekend ahead of me to study. ^^

stayed back after emaths for bio make-up class.
then asked mdm hasni alot of questions regarding stuff we dont know.
think mdm hasni's like the best teacher we've got =D

well, the rest of the butts had their chemistry paper today,
so waited for them and went to parkway!
bought a few stuffs for emily's birthday prez,
and i got...

THIS



Limited edition mirror mints by Little i. $3.90, Ig's Heaven.

isn't it adorable?
haha edited it with photoshop to create that nice effect(:
if it wasn't edited the tin box would be pink (just to let you know) hehe.

played the disappearing act with shiang when mel and zen weren't paying attention!
walked off to the toilet first, then ran away!! wheeeee!
ran around the whole parkway, and finally resided in Giant.
despite their desperate attempts to call us, we ignored their calls.
bwahahahaha
then shiang accidentaly picked up the phone, so we listened to their "HELLO? HELLO?", and funny attempts at guessing where we were.
so we decided to drop them a hint and told them we were at Giant.
they happened to walk pass us so we hid behind some stuff,
but alas we were caught with our mouths wide open,
and after some bit of chasing around ha ha ^^
after which we almost got strangled by them.

aah. eventful day(:

it would ROCK if school ends at 11 everyday.
6:12 PM

01 May 2006

planned a whole day of mugging ahead of me, but ended up studying just a little and slacking most of the time.
sigh, God help me.
